Bernardo FSM 2550 Surface Grinder

Bernardo Surface Grinder FSM 2550

The Bernardo Surface Grinder FSM 2550 is a high-performance professional machine for grinding flat surfaces with precision and stability. Thanks to the flat V-longitudinal guide and the double V-transversal guide, it ensures smooth and precise movements. The spindle is equipped with preloaded, backlash-free axial and radial bearings, guaranteeing consistent and accurate grinding. The machine features an advanced hydraulic system with a heat exchanger to reduce vibrations and thermal loads, maintaining smooth table movement even with heavy loads. Standard equipment includes a 2-axis digital display, a 250 x 500 mm permanent magnetic chuck, a centralized lubrication system, and numerous accessories. With a Ø 200 mm grinding wheel, 1.5 kW motor, and 2850 rpm speed, it is suitable for mechanical workshops and precision departments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grinding precision can be achieved with the Bernardo Surface Grinder FSM 2?

Bernardo surface grinders achieve, under optimal conditions, dimensional tolerances of IT5–IT6 and roughness Ra 0.4–0.8 µm. Actual precision depends on the condition of the grinding wheel (periodic dressing), workpiece material, coolant, and operator experience.

What does the "PLC" suffix mean in the Bernardo Surface Grinder FSM 2 model?

The PLC suffix indicates that the grinder is equipped with programmable PLC control — it allows setting automatic grinding cycles (number of passes, depth per pass, feed) without manual intervention during the cycle. Compared to the manual version, it reduces cycle times and produces more repeatable results for batches of identical parts.

Which grinding wheel to use for steel vs. cast iron vs. aluminum?

Steel: aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) grinding wheel A46K–A60K. Cast iron: silicon carbide (SiC) grinding wheel C46K–C60K. Aluminum: silicon carbide grinding wheel C46J–C60J with abundant lubrication. Do not mix different materials on the same grinding wheel — metal residues contaminate the ground surface.

Does the Bernardo Surface Grinder FSM 2 require integrated coolant?

BSG and FSM surface grinders are equipped with an integrated cooling system — essential for precision grinding on hardened steel to avoid surface burns that alter the material's structure. Always use the appropriate type of coolant for the material being processed.

Are spare parts and grinding wheels available?

Original spare parts available with 3–5 working day shipping. Customer support in Italian available.
