All crankshafts are initially checked and inspected to ensure that they are acceptable for reuse or for repair. The onsite crankshaft grinding and crankshaft polishing is undertaken through the window of the engine block. Due to continuous innovation in the design and technology of crankshaft grinding machines manufactured and used by us, it is possible to maintain the dimensional tolerances strictly as per the original equipment manufacturer. The crankshaft grinding and polishing are done in the minimum possible time. Thus, reducing the breakdown time of the equipment considerably.

  • Geometrical tolerance in accordance with manufacturer specifications.
  • A blueing check has to be carried out on the re-machining surface. Blueing Shells: Min. Width equivalent to Journal or Crank-pin dimensions respectively. Min. Length is equivalent to 1/5 of the Journal or crank-pin circumference.
  • Required contact area: Min. 35% equally distributed over width and circumferences.
  • Free of hairline cracks: Journal or crank pin to be tested by mean of Magnetic Particle crack detection method.
  • Free of Martensite: The microstructure is to be tested for edged areas of martensite structure will replicas or micro etching with 5% nitric acid in alcohol (Nital) applied to the pin after polishing.
  • The maximum admissible hardness of remaining local hardsports: However such local hardsports are not tolerated around the fillets and the bores for lubrication.
