The GHS series is for standard and automated grinding applications such as cylindrical grinding, camshaft grinding, camlobe grinding and more. It is available in standard gripping diameters ranging from 0.394" to 4.724" (10 to 120 mm).
Key features of both series include a retractable body using guideways; vertical load functionality; three-point, finely-adjustable centering capability; and modular, regrindable carbide or relappable PCD work pads.
