Method and device for simultaneous centreless cylindrical grinding of multiple workpieces

A method for simultaneous centreless cylindrical grinding of multiple workpieces at least sections of which are rotationally symmetrical, wherein the workpieces for grinding are arranged one behind the other in the direction of the workpiece axes of rotation on a support apparatus between at least one grinding wheel and at least one regulating wheel, and wherein the axis of rotation of the regulating wheel is inclined by an inclination angle (α) with respect to a particularly horizontal plane extending parallel to the workpiece axes of rotation and the grinding wheel axis of rotation, wherein during grinding the workpieces are disposed with a height offset with respect to each other corresponding to at least a quarter, particularly at least half, preferably at least three quarters of the inclination angle (α) of the regulating wheel axis of rotation relative to the parallel plane so that the respective bearing angles (γ) of the workpieces on the inclined regulating wheel are rendered consistent.
