Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Thielenhaus BearingStar 200 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 Thielenhaus BearingStar 200 is the mid-size machine of the BearingStar range, for outer rings of 85 – 200 mm (3.3 – 7.9 in) outside diameter and inner rings of 50 – 180 mm (2.0 – 7.1 in) inner diameter. Ring width runs from 15 – 80 mm (0.59 – 3.1 in). Thielenhaus builds it with 1 or 2 machining stations as a fully automatic Microfinish machine for ball and roller bearing inner and outer rings.
Stone force is where this size departs from the smaller machines. Stone contact pressure is 80 – 360 N, more than double the 170 N ceiling of the BearingStar 90, and it cannot be set below 80 N. The workpiece spindle is correspondingly slower at 0 – 3,000 rpm. Oscillation is unchanged: 0 – 1,200 double strokes per minute, with ±0 – 18° of angle or 0 – 6 mm (0 – 0.24 in) of linear stroke.
With two stations the machine runs the 2-step method, pre-finishing on one stone and finishing on the next. Thielenhaus's product page lists 1-stage processing at one station, 1- or 2-stage processing on 2 stations, outer and inner ring machining, and oscillation units with direct drive or mechanical. It calls the 200 series a universal machine platform for all bearing types, though it does not list the ring types one by one for this size.
The ranges overlap with the neighbours. Rings of 180 – 200 mm outside diameter also fit the BearingStar 320, which has the same spindle speed and stone pressure but is listed with 1 machining station. If a programme needs two stations at that diameter, this is the machine that offers them.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Stone contact pressure of 80 – 360 N for the larger contact areas of mid-size raceways
- Built with 1 or 2 machining stations, for 1- or 2-step machining
- Covers outer rings of 85 – 200 mm outside diameter and inner rings of 50 – 180 mm inner diameter
- Oscillation units with direct drive or mechanical, according to the maker's product page
- Ring widths of 15 – 80 mm on one machine
Limitations
- Workpiece spindle speed is limited to 3,000 rpm, half the 6,000 rpm of the BearingStar 90

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Outer ring outside diameter 85 – 200 mm (3.3 – 7.9 in), inner ring inner diameter 50 – 180 mm (2.0 – 7.1 in) and ring width 15 – 80 mm (0.59 – 3.1 in). Below that the BearingStar 120 covers 60 – 120 mm outside diameter, and above it the BearingStar 320 covers 180 – 320 mm.
02
1 or 2. Thielenhaus lists 1-stage processing at one station and 1- or 2-stage processing on 2 stations. The BearingStar 320 and BearingStar 650 are both listed with 1 machining station, so this is the largest BearingStar size shown with a 2-station choice.
03
80 – 360 N. That is the same range as the BearingStar 320 and well above the 0 – 170 N of the BearingStar 90. The lower limit of 80 N means very light finishing passes are work for the smaller machines.
04
Workpiece spindle speed is 0 – 3,000 rpm. Oscillation frequency is 0 – 1,200 double strokes/min, with an oscillation angle of ±0 – 18° or a linear oscillation stroke of 0 – 6 mm (0 – 0.24 in). The product page lists oscillation units with direct drive or mechanical.
