Crankshaft Grinding & Repair Services | Crankshaft Reconditioning | Crankpin Machining – RA Power Solutions

RA Power Solutions undertakes onsite crankshaft grinding and repair, crankpin reconditioning, and crankpin machining up to a diameter of 700 mm. It is observed that due to serious accidents sometimes the radius fillet of the crankpin or main journal is damaged and it is difficult to undertake the crankshaft repair onsite without removing the crankshaft from the engine block and transporting it to the designated workshop.

With more than forty years of experience in this field, we have added a portable onsite crankshaft grinding and polishing machine which can undertake crankshaft grinding and crankshaft polishing without taking the reference of radius fillet of the crankpin or crank main journal thus saving the crankshaft from rejection.
