Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Palmary OCD-65150 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Palmary OCD-65150 is the short model of Palmary's largest-swing cylindrical grinders: Ø650 mm (25.6 in) over the table, Ø620 mm (24.4 in) of grinding diameter and 1,500 mm (59.1 in) between centers. It is a CNC machine in the heavy duty OCD series with an 800 kg (1,764 lb) load rating.
The extra swing over the OCD-45150 changes two things on the spec sheet. The wheel grows to Ø610 mm with a 203.2 mm bore, still 50 to 125 mm wide. And the workhead servo motor nearly doubles to 5.5 kW (7.4 hp), because turning a part of this diameter at a controlled speed takes torque. Speed range is 0 to 210 rpm.
Large diameter and short length together describe rolls, drums and big journals more than shafts. The table stroke of 1,970 mm (77.6 in) gives plenty of run-off, and the table swivels -1° to 5°. The wheelhead moves 350 mm (13.8 in), which matters here: with a wheel and a workpiece both this large, the range of diameters reachable without re-setting the wheelhead is set by that stroke.
The grinding motor stays at 11 kW (14.8 hp) and peripheral speed at 33 m/s (6,496 ft/min). Total power is 33 kVA. Palmary lists the machine at 12,000 kg (26,455 lb), the same figure it gives for the smaller-swing model. A FANUC CNC controller, hydraulic tailstock and linear scale on X are standard.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Ø620 mm (24.4 in) grinding diameter under a Ø650 mm (25.6 in) swing
- 5.5 kW (7.4 hp) workhead servo motor for large-diameter parts
- Ø610 mm wheel, 50 to 125 mm wide, on an 11 kW (14.8 hp) motor
- Table swivels from -1° to 5° on the 1,500 mm (59.1 in) bed
Limitations
- 800 kg (1,764 lb) between centers; a solid steel part near full diameter exceeds that quickly
- Wheel motor is no larger than on the OCD-45 series
- Work spindle head fixed at 0°
- Total power requirement of 33 kVA

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Ø620 mm (24.4 in), with a swing over the table of Ø650 mm (25.6 in). The distance between centers is 1,500 mm (59.1 in) and the load between centers 800 kg (1,764 lb). This is the largest diameter capacity in Palmary's cylindrical grinder tables.
02
The OCD-45150 swings Ø450 mm (17.7 in), uses a Ø510 mm wheel and has a 2.9 kW (3.9 hp) workhead motor on 30 kVA. The OCD-65150 swings Ø650 mm (25.6 in), uses a Ø610 mm wheel and has a 5.5 kW (7.4 hp) workhead motor on 33 kVA. Travels and load rating are the same.
03
0 to 210 rpm, variable, from a 5.5 kW (7.4 hp) AC servo motor. Palmary says the workhead is supported by precision bevel bearings and gives stepless speed change. The center taper is No. 5 Morse, with No. 6 as an option.
04
An internal grinding attachment including one spindle, heavy type 2-point and 3-point steady rests, heavy type work holders, a live work center, 3-jaw and 4-jaw scroll chucks, an automatic wheel balancer, gap control, a touch probe gauge, an in-process gauge, a magnetic coolant separator and a paper filter.
