Crankshaft Repair | Grinding of Crankshaft | Crankshaft Machining – RA Power Solutions

RA Power Solutions has been working on high-capacity diesel engine overhaul, repair, and maintenance, and grinding of crankshafts for the last 45 years. During our work on engines on board a vessel or in large engineering plants, we have observed that the incidents of crankshafts getting damaged due to accidents are becoming increasingly often.

As we are aware that the crankshaft is the heart of the engine. Using the connecting rod, the crankshaft converts reciprocating motion to linear movement, which drives the engine. RA Power Solutions has the process, technology, and onsite crankshaft grinding machines ranging from 35 mm to 700 mm, and crankshaft repair is now possible without disassembly of the crankshaft from the engine. The repair of the crankshaft is possible irrespective of its length and weight, as we have the equipment available up to 700 mm in terms of diameter.

The crankshaft, in general, has various applications, including diesel generating sets and marine engines. Typical areas of crankshaft applications are as follows:

  • Compressors
  • Railway vehicles/engines
  • Power generators
  • Forging hammers
  • Pumps
  • Marine engines, etc.

RA Power Solutions has undertaken reconditioning of crankshaft exceeding ten thousand numbers and recommends the following situation for reconditioning of the crankshaft.

Recommendation for reconditioning of Crankshaft:

I) It is recommended to undertake crankshaft repair in case taper and ovality exceed the limit specified in the maintenance manual of the engine manufacturer.
II)  In case of an accident, deep line marks or depression are developed.
III) Reconditioning of the crankshaft is recommended in case higher hardness is observed due to the seizer of bearings or any other reason.
IV) Development of surface crack.
V) Loss of alignment.
VI) In certain cases, although the dimensions of the CR Pin and Main Journal are observed within the limit, due to the rough surface observed on the CR Pin and of the Main Journal, the surface requires polishing.
