Honing machines

Area of application

The GERUS honing device is designed for honing large diesel engines. Thereby we have combined application versatility, minimal space requirements, ease of use and an excellent honing result.

This gives GERUS honed machines a long service life. The system has been used successfully for many years and impresses with its robustness and durability.

Mode of operation

We achieve a consistently high honing result over the service life of the tool using pneumatically driven honing arms. This process principle in particular enables a wide range of variants (for bushing bore diameters of 160-640 mm).

GERUS also supplies individually designed honing devices for custom sizes or special requirements. The honing device is positioned and operated directly above the installed cylinder liner (also for V machines).

Functions in detail

The automatic function

Thanks to the machine’s automatic function, the lifting movement takes place automatically within the preset lifting range. To retract the honing head, the automatic function can be set to “Off” via a ball valve and the lifting movement can be performed manually via the operating bottle.

Convenient operation with emergency stop function

With our new comfort control, you can set the air pressure for speed, contact pressure and stroke. The machine is started with the lever and stops immediately when the lever is released.

The rinsing device

Rinsing device for stationary version of the honing machine
Rinsing device for mobile version of the honing machine

The rinsing device carries the honing medium into the liner via nozzles during the honing process. Afterwards, the bushing can be cleaned using this rinsing device, for which a 10µm filter is installed.

Accessories for V machines

The turntable can be attached to the honing head for honing V-motors.

What excels our honing machine

Mobile, robust and durable

Easy handling thanks to automated or manual control with a consistently high honing result

Removal of the cylinder liners not required

Can be mounted directly on the engine block or can also be used as a stationary machine with an additional base

Usable for custom sizes and special requirements

Suitable not only for in-line machines but also for V-machines thanks to insertable guide rollers

Self-centering of the honing machine

Even honing thanks to guide arms and an optimal honing result due to the pulling grind of the honing stones

One pneumatic drive for all honing diameters

Suitable for liners with a diameter of 150-600 mm thanks to flexible extension of the honing radius using spacer plates

Fast operational readiness thanks to simple assembly

Easy dismantling of the honing machine, delivery pre-assembled in a transport crate
