UVA LIDKÖPING Spindles – Nordic Precision for Grinding Technology
UVA Spindles – Quality Made in Sweden
With a history spanning over 150 years, UVA is one of the world's leading suppliers of high-precision grinding machines.
When it comes to its public image, this long-established Swedish manufacturer deliberately keeps a low profile, letting its results speak for themselves: millions of precision components produced worldwide. Over 10,000 installed machines underscore the technological significance of its internal spindle designs.
Reliability and process stability are clearly the top priorities. UVA LIDKÖPING enjoys an excellent reputation, particularly in fuel injection and in the high-volume production of bearings, where sub-micrometer tolerances are required. Workpieces ranging from 0.5 mm to 820 mm are machined with exceptional repeatability. The spindle technology combines high mechanical rigidity with outstanding thermal stability.
What Makes UVA Spindles Special
UVA spindles are designed specifically for high-volume precision machining. Operating 24/7, they consistently maintain extremely tight tolerances even under the most demanding conditions. They demonstrate exceptional durability, particularly when machining common-rail components or precision bearings.
The spindle designs are precisely tailored to various grinding processes, whether centerless grinding, internal or external cylindrical grinding, or simultaneous machining. The high level of integration enables complex processes to be carried out in a compact space, thereby increasing efficiency per square meter of production floor space.
At the same time, the spindles are robustly constructed and designed for a long service life. Many units remain in service for decades. Their maintenance-friendly design simplifies service work and, if necessary, allows for professional repairs with minimal downtime.
Design and Construction of UVA Spindles
The technical design is consistently engineered to meet the highest standards of precision and stability:
- High-rigidity bearing designs: Designed for high radial forces, particularly in centerless grinding.
- Precision motor spindles: Integrated drives for maximum smoothness during internal and external cylindrical grinding.
- Effective sealing systems: Reliable protection against grinding dust and coolants.
- Thermal stabilization: Active cooling to ensure consistent dimensional accuracy during continuous operation.
Spindle Repair for UVA Grinding Spindles
Since UVA spindles often serve as central components in fully automated production lines, professional servicing once the wear limit has been reached is crucial for system availability. KERN GmbH specializes in the overhaul of these high-performance spindle systems. We understand the specific requirements for bearing technology, geometry, and thermal stability, and ensure that your spindle operates with its usual precision after overhaul.
