Precise honing for perfect surfaces and fitting accuracy
When honing, we use special tools that are equipped with abrasives. We use these to process the surfaces of your components until they have achieved the desired roughness and accuracy of fit. The result is a particularly fine surface that is not only visually appealing, but also improves the functionality and service life of the components.
Why is honing so important? It ensures that your components meet the exact requirements necessary for smooth operation. When it comes to precision turned parts, honing is often the final touch to achieve perfection. The process is particularly indispensable in the automotive and mechanical engineering industries.
Whether one-off production or series production - we adapt our honing process precisely to your needs. You can rely on our expertise when it comes to honing turned parts. Contact us and let's talk about your project. We guarantee you precise results and short delivery times.

Frequently asked questions on the subject: Honing
What is the difference between honing and grinding?
Honing involves the use of special tools equipped with fine abrasives to precisely machine internal surfaces. Grinding, on the other hand, is used more for machining external surfaces. Honing enables greater dimensional accuracy and improved surface quality, especially for cylindrical bores. It is also more precise than grinding, as it is the final finishing step. In addition, honing ensures even material removal and reduces surface roughness to a minimum. Grinding, on the other hand, is more suitable for coarse machining or large surfaces.
Which components are optimized by honing?
Honing is mainly used for components that have cylindrical inner surfaces, such as cylinder liners in engines or hydraulic cylinders. These components must have particularly precise dimensional accuracy and smooth surfaces in order to function optimally. Components that work under high pressure or high friction also benefit from honing, as it increases their service life and functionality. Precision turned parts, such as those used in the automotive industry or in mechanical engineering, are typical areas of application. Honing significantly reduces surface roughness.
How long does the honing process take for precision turned parts?
The duration of the honing process depends on the size, material and required surface quality of the component. Smaller, simple components can be processed in a few minutes, while larger or complex workpieces take longer. Honing requires precise settings and careful control of the material removal. As it is a precision process, it generally takes longer than coarser machining processes such as grinding. Despite the longer machining time, the use of honing is worthwhile for improved quality.
Which materials are best suited for honing?
Honing is mainly used for metal parts such as steel, aluminum, copper and their alloys. Hard materials that require an even and fine finish are particularly suitable. However, softer materials, such as certain plastics or soft metals, can also be processed by honing if a high surface quality is required. In any case, the material must be dimensionally stable enough to withstand the mechanical processing. Another decisive factor is how much the surface roughness is to be reduced.
Why is honing important for precision parts in the automotive industry?
Maximum precision and reliability are essential in the automotive industry. Honing ensures that components such as cylinder liners, pistons or transmission parts have a perfect fit and fulfill their function optimally. These parts have to work under high loads and friction, which is why smooth and dimensionally accurate surfaces are crucial. Honing minimizes the friction between the components and thus increases the efficiency and service life of the vehicles. Especially in high
