How much does the Studer S41 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc grinding machine in this class — not a quote from United Grinding (Studer). Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Studer S41 is the large cylindrical grinder among the Studer machines listed here. Distance between centers is 1'000 mm / 1'600 mm (39.4 inch / 63 inch), center height is 275 mm (10.8 inch), and it takes workpieces up to 549 mm (21.6 inch) in diameter and 250 kg (550 lbs).
Capacity is the reason to buy it. The Studer S33 has a 175 mm (6.9 inch) center height, a 349 mm (13.75 inch) workpiece diameter and a 150 kg (330 lbs) weight limit, so the S41 is the step up when a shaft, roll or flanged part no longer swings or is too heavy.
The wheel spindle matches the bigger parts. It is rated 15 kW (20 hp) with a maximum speed of 4'500 rpm, and the grinding wheel can be up to 508 mm (20 inch) in diameter and 100 mm (3.9 inch) wide. The Studer S33 is listed at 8 kW (10 hp) and 3'200 rpm, so the S41 has nearly double the power for wide plunge cuts.
The axis list is longer than on a plain cylindrical grinder. X travel is 350 mm (13.8 inch) and Z travel is 1'150 mm / 1'750 mm (45.3 inch / 68.9 inch), both at up to 20'000 mm/min (787 inch/min). The B axis swivels through 270 °. A Y travel of 100 mm (3.9 inch) and an A swiveling range of 30 ° are also listed. The table does not say which wheelhead versions those two axes belong to, so ask what they do on the configuration quoted.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Center height of 275 mm (10.8 inch) takes workpieces up to 549 mm (21.6 inch) in diameter
- Maximum workpiece weight of 250 kg (550 lbs)
- 15 kW (20 hp) spindle with wheels up to 508 mm (20 inch) by 100 mm (3.9 inch)
- B axis swiveling range of 270 °, plus a listed Y travel of 100 mm (3.9 inch) and an A range of 30 °
- X and Z both travel at up to 20'000 mm/min (787 inch/min)
Limitations
- Only two lengths, 1'000 mm / 1'600 mm (39.4 inch / 63 inch) between centers, where the Studer S33 starts at 400 mm
- X travel of 350 mm (13.8 inch) is a little less than the 370 mm (14.6 inch) of the Studer S33
- Spindle speed stops at 4'500 rpm, which limits how small a wheel can be run at a useful surface speed
- The table gives no machine weight, footprint or electrical supply

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Workpiece length and distance between centers are 1'000 mm / 1'600 mm (39.4 inch / 63 inch). Workpiece diameter is up to 549 mm (21.6 inch), center height is 275 mm (10.8 inch) and maximum workpiece weight is 250 kg (550 lbs).
02
Spindle power is 15 kW (20 hp) and maximum spindle speed is 4'500 rpm. The maximum grinding wheel is 508 mm (20 inch) in diameter and 100 mm (3.9 inch) wide, so the drive is sized for a broad wheel working on a heavy part.
03
X travel is 350 mm (13.8 inch), Y travel is 100 mm (3.9 inch) and Z travel is 1'150 mm / 1'750 mm (45.3 inch / 68.9 inch). Maximum travel speed in X and in Z is 20'000 mm/min (787 inch/min). The swiveling range is 30 ° on A and 270 ° on B.
04
The Studer S33 has a 175 mm (6.9 inch) center height, a 349 mm (13.75 inch) workpiece diameter, a 150 kg (330 lbs) weight limit and an 8 kW (10 hp) spindle. The S41 raises those to 275 mm (10.8 inch), 549 mm (21.6 inch), 250 kg (550 lbs) and 15 kW (20 hp), and adds Y and A rows that the S33 table does not have.
