Overview
The Klingelnberg P 26 is a precision measuring center for small gears and shafts: a maximum testing diameter between centers of 260 mm, a workpiece weight of approx. 80 kg and a module range of 0.30 – 16 mm. It measures gears and does not machine them.
Several of its limits can be moved with options, and the table says which. Module 0.10 mm is available only in combination with options. The vertical measuring interval on the Z axis is 400 mm as standard and 550 mm as an option, and the distance between centers is 50 – 600 mm with 800 mm optional. The horizontal measuring interval on the X axis is fixed at ±75 mm. The dimensions carry a bracketed height, 2,200 mm against 2,000 mm, on a footprint of approx. 1,945 x 2,220 mm, so check the height against whichever Z option is ordered.
On a small measuring machine, check rotational inertia as well as weight. The P 26 allows a maximum moment of inertia of 1 kgm², so a wide, thin part can be out of range while still under 80 kg. The P 40 Precision Measuring Center is the step up, with a 400 mm diameter, 300 kg and 5 kgm².
Accuracy is given for two temperature bands. Between 18 and 22 Celsius, with gradients of 0.5 K/h, 2 K/d and 2 K/m, the length measuring error MPE_E0 is 1.8 µm + L/450 mm, roundness is 0.3 µm and total axial runout 1.5 µm. Between 15 and 35 Celsius, with 2 K/h, 12 K/d and 2 K/m, those become 1.8 µm + L/250 mm, 0.5 µm and 1.8 µm. Gear measurement accuracy is Group A. Services are modest: 0.7 kVA including the printer and compressed air at 6 bar and 1 l/min, for a machine of approx. 1,700 kg.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Group A gear measurement accuracy, with MPE_E0 of 1.8 µm + L/450 mm between 18 and 22 Celsius
- Roundness of 0.3 µm and total axial runout of 1.5 µm in the 18 to 22 Celsius band
- Accuracy is also specified between 15 and 35 Celsius, at 1.8 µm + L/250 mm
- Runs on 0.7 kVA including the printer and 6 bar / 1 l/min of compressed air
- At approx. 1,700 kg it is lighter than the P 40 Precision Measuring Center at 2,200 kg net
Limitations
- Maximum moment of inertia is 1 kgm² and workpiece weight approx. 80 kg
- Module 0.10 mm needs options; the standard range starts at 0.30 mm
- The 550 mm vertical measuring interval and 800 mm between centers are options, not standard
- Horizontal measuring interval is ±75 mm, against ±115 mm on the P 40 Precision Measuring Center

Frequently Asked Questions
01
No. Klingelnberg's machine type row calls the P 26 a Precision Measuring Center. It inspects gears with a maximum testing diameter between centers of 260 mm and modules of 0.30 – 16 mm, and it has no grinding or cutting function in the table.
02
The maximum testing diameter between centers is 260 mm, the maximum workpiece weight approx. 80 kg and the maximum permissible moment of inertia 1 kgm². The distance between centers is 50 – 600 mm, or 800 mm as an option, and the Z axis measures over 400 mm, or 550 mm as an option.
03
Three are marked in the table. Module 0.10 mm is available only in combination with options, the vertical measuring interval grows from 400 mm to an optional 550 mm, and the distance between centers from 600 mm to an optional 800 mm. The ±75 mm horizontal measuring interval has no option listed.
04
Gear measurement accuracy is Group A. Between 18 and 22 Celsius the length measuring error MPE_E0 is 1.8 µm + L/450 mm, roundness 0.3 µm and total axial runout 1.5 µm. Between 15 and 35 Celsius the figures are 1.8 µm + L/250 mm, 0.5 µm and 1.8 µm.
05
Rated power is 0.7 kVA including the printer, and the compressed air connection is 6 bar / 1 l/min. The machine weighs approx. 1,700 kg and measures approx. 1,945 x 2,220 x 2,000 mm, with 2,200 mm given in brackets for the height.
