Nippei Heavy-Duty Gap Grinder (Strut Grinder) – Aerospace-Grade Precision, Internal and external.
The machine has been dismantled for transport, we have mock assembled it in our facility.
This Nippei Gap Grinder, also known as a Strut Grinder, is a large-capacity precision grinding machine specifically designed for grinding long, heavy cylindrical components such as aircraft landing gear struts and other aerospace-grade parts.
Built mainly for the aerospace industry and other heavy industrial applications, the Nippei Gap Grinder features a wide open-frame (or "gap") design that allows for easy loading and precise grinding of oversized workpieces that exceed the capacity of traditional cylindrical grinders.
This rare machine has been resurrected from hibernation for many years and is in surprisingly good condition.
Key Features:
Heavy-duty open-frame structure accommodates long or bulky parts such as landing gear struts, actuator bodies, and aerospace shafts
Precision grinding spindle for tight tolerances and high-quality surface finishes
Robust machine bed and part supports to ensure stability and reduce vibration during heavy grinding operations
Integrated coolant and filtration system to maintain temperature control and prolong grinding wheel life
Custom fixturing available for handling complex geometries and high part weights
Typical Applications:
Aircraft landing gear struts
Hydraulic cylinders and actuators
Long or heavy-duty industrial shafts
Components requiring high accuracy and fine surface finish
As a trusted name in precision grinding, Nippei has engineered this machine to deliver the performance, durability, and accuracy required in demanding aerospace environments. It's an ideal solution for OEMs, MRO facilities, and precision machining shops working with high-value components.
