Term Description

Looking to bur or sell used Gear Grinding machinery?

Here at Asset-Trade you will find our overview of used gear grinding machines from renowned manufacturers such as NILES, GLEASON PFAUTER, HÖFLER, REISHAUER.

Gear grinding machines are grinding machines especially for gears. Automotive and gear manufacturers swear by gear grinding machines.

Gear grinding is used to remove surface materials on a gear blank through abrasion. Abrasion is conducted through rubbing of a rough surface against a piece of metal at high speeds to scrape away the material that is not needed in the gear. Gear grinders can be broadly divided into continuously generation grinders and profile grinders.

The grinding/abrasives market is rapidly changing, thanks to new technology, more flexibility and an attempt to lower customer costs. Productivity is at an all-time high in this market, and it’s only going to improve with further R&D. The gear market will have lots of new toys and gadgets to offer potential customers. If you haven’t upgraded any grinding/abrasives equipment in the last five years, now might be a good time to consider the investment

Contact Asset-Trade today to find your used Gear Grinding Machine to produce your high tolerance metal gears.

Frequently Asked Questions about used Gear Grinding

What is gear grinding and what is it used for?

Gear grinding is a hard-finishing process used to grind hardened gear teeth to achieve high accuracy, low noise and long service life, typically after hobbing and heat treatment. It is used in automotive, aerospace, industrial gearbox and machine tool manufacturing where tight tolerances and surface quality are critical. On the used market, gear grinding machines from makers such as Reishauer, Kapp and Niles are common.

How do I choose the right used gear grinding machine for my workshop?

Choosing the right used gear grinding machine depends on the gear type and size you need to produce, the required accuracy class, and whether you need profile or generating grinding. Check the machine's control, dresser and available grinding wheel range against your parts. Asset-Trade offers a free machine appraisal and a multi-stage inspection with functional tests so you can compare machines on real condition, not just age.

What does a used gear grinding machine cost?

Prices for used gear grinding machines vary widely with manufacturer, size, age, control generation and condition. Because these machines are highly specialized, the price is driven by the specific configuration and the wear on the grinding spindle, dresser and guideways. Buying used through Asset-Trade typically saves 40-70% compared with a comparable new machine.

How are used gear grinding machines inspected before purchase?

Used gear grinding machines are inspected in multiple stages, including visual checks, geometric checks and functional tests under power where possible. Asset-Trade documents the condition of the grinding head, dresser, coolant system, control and safety devices. You can also request an on-site inspection and demonstration before committing, and a dedicated project manager coordinates the process.

How does shipping and export work for a used gear grinding machine?

Shipping and export of a used gear grinding machine is handled worldwide, including customs paperwork, loading, and transport to your site. Asset-Trade organizes the logistics and works with you on the best shipping method for the machine's size and weight. The 7-step purchase process covers enquiry, appraisal, inspection, quotation, contract, preparation and delivery.

What should I watch out for when buying a used gear grinding machine?

Typical mistakes when buying a used gear grinding machine include focusing only on price, skipping a functional test, and not checking whether the machine can grind your specific gear geometry. Also confirm that spare parts, grinding wheels and dresser components are still available, and that the control documentation matches the machine. Asset-Trade's multi-stage inspection and free appraisal help you avoid these pitfalls, and a dedicated project manager guides you through the 7-step purchase process.
