E-AXLE SURFACE GRINDING SOLUTIONS
Under the Norton and Norton Winter brands, we provide one of the world’s most extensive portfolios of precision abrasives for grinding and finishing electric vehicle powertrain components. Our broad expertise includes working with demanding global OEMs and automotive companies, utilizing our material know-how in manufacturing abrasives for critically demanding applications. Our high-performance grinding wheels with the latest grain and bond technology innovations, maximize efficiency and part quality, providing unparalleled productivity results.
E-Engine Magnets
NdFeB magnets are one of the key materials for the E-Engine and can account for up to 10% of its cost. Our high precision diamond tools optimize cutting and grinding applications with the lowest possible material waste.
 Application |  Product Recommendation |
|---|---|
Cutting | Ultra Thin Diamond Blades |
Grinding | Diamond Plated Wheels |
INVERTERS - SiC
Due to its high mechanical strength, the wafers are made of SiC. Our high-performance Prisma FAVS wheels for wafers back grinding provide a superior surface finish and longer tool life for overall cost savings.
Application | Product Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Front End Wafer Manufacturing: | |
| Cutting/Slicing | Fixed Diamond Wire / ID SAW Blade |
| Grinding | Edge Grinding Wheels |
| Back End – Chip Making: |
|
| Back Grinding | Norton Winter Prisma Coarse & Fine FAVS Back Grinding Wheels |
| Polishing | Lapping and Polishing Slurries (CMP) |
| Slicing & Dicing | 1A8 Wheels |
Gears
Noise reduction is one of the biggest challenges in the production of E-Axles. The Norton Xtrimium dual worm wheel is a new unique solution that ensures quieter transmissions in electric vehicles thanks to the extremely fine surface finish it provides.
Application | Product Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Gear Grinding: | |
| Gear Grinding and Polishing | Norton Xtrimium (including Dual Worm Wheels) |
| Gear Bore Grinding | Norton Winter Vitron7 ID Wheels |
| Axle - Input Shaft Grinding | Norton Winter AEON and Vitron7 |
E-Rotor Shaft
E-Motors can reach 20,000 rpm, so the shafts must meet the tightest tolerances. Reducing friction at the contact seat of bearings and seals is key to motor longevity.
Our vitrified cBN wheels with Vitron7 technology perfectly match these requirements, offering higher efficiency and heat reduction.
Application | Product Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Diameter Grinding | Vitron7/Norton Quantum Prime |
| Seal Contact Grinding | Vitron7 |
| Seal and Bearing Seats Grinding | Vitron7/Norton Quantum Prime |
Bearing
To produce durable and neutral conductive hybrid bearing systems, you need high-performance solutions that meet stringent cost and quality requirements. Norton Quantum Prime organic and vitrified wheels are designed for grinding steel components with the highest productivity and optimal cost per part. For ceramic parts, we recommend Norton Winter premium diamond superabrasive wheels.
Application | Product Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Face Grinding | Norton Quantum Prime (Organic Bond) |
| Track Grinding and Superfinishing | Norton Quantum Prime (Vitrified Bond - Vitrium³) |
| Outer Diameter Grinding | Norton Quantum Prime (Vitrified Bond - Vitrium³) |
| Inner Bore Grinding | Norton IDeal Prime |
| Ceramic Ball Bearing Grinding | Metal Bond Diamond Cup Wheel |
BATTERY + HOUSING
CR or HVOF rolls used in electrode manufacturing can be effectively ground and polished with Norton Quantum Prime wheels and Finium micro-finishing finishing film range. Alternatively, Norton Winter Paradigm wheels can be used for HVOF grinding.
Norton Quantum Prime is also recommended for grinding and sharpening carbide-based punching tools used to form electrodes.
All of our products are designed to provide the highest performance and reduce production costs.
