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.

The crankshafts of high-capacity engines used for marine and land-based applications are of forged steel. RA Power Solutions has experienced technicians and advanced technology equipment, i.e., an in situ crankshaft grinding machine. To maintain the dimensions and tolerances strictly as per the manufacturer’s specifications and recommendations.

Major parameters maintained after crankshaft grinding and repair and grinding of the crankshaft, are as follows:

  • Taper and ovality can be maintained within 0.02/0.03 mm or less as per the requirement of the engine manufacturer.
  • The portable in situ crankshaft grinding machine used by RA Power Solutions. The technicians are capable of maintaining a surface finish of far less than 0.03 RA value.
  • The high surface finish achieved after grinding the crankpin and main journal diameters significantly improves performance. It enhances the life of the connecting rod and main bearings.

  • The radius profile of both the end of the crankpin or main journal and the lubricating oil profile is maintained strictly as per the original profile.
  • The straightness/runout of the crankshaft is checked, and the crankshaft is straightened if required by the peening process.
  • Counterweight can be replaced in case of damage, and supporting threads are repaired onsite.

During our work of more than four decades, we have repaired more than 10,000 crankshafts used for different applications. All the repairs are executed with a guarantee. We are an ISO-certified company and also meet the standards requirements like DNB, Lloyd’s, etc. All our technicians possess Indian CDC and can join the vessel in a short time in any part of the world.

Crankshaft grinding and repair are essential processes in the field of engine maintenance and precision engineering. The crankshaft, being a crucial component in any engine, requires meticulous attention to ensure its optimal performance. At RA Power Solutions, we specialize in main bearing machining, grinding of crankshafts, and in situ crankshaft grinding.

Crankshaft Reconditioning | Crankshaft Grinding Machine Exporter – RA Power Solutions

RA Power Solutions undertakes the repair of crankshafts having a diameter ranging from 35 mm to 700 mm. The concept of removing the crankshaft and sending it to the workshop for repair is now no longer valid, and the user gets the crankshaft repaired onsite.

During our working of more than forty years on marine main, crankshaft reconditioning, auxiliary engines, and high capacity diesel generating sets installed in industry, power plants, etc., we have observed that while the maintenance schedule stipulated by the engine manufacturer in the maintenance manual is religiously followed, but no attention is paid on the crankshaft’s condition.

Even during the maintenance schedule of 25,000 to 30,000 hours of operation, maintenance agencies and officials connected with the day-to-day upkeep of the engine ignore the inspection of the crankshaft till the seizure of the bearing or any other major breakdown happens in the crankshaft.

We have experienced that irrespective of the metallurgy of the crankshaft and level of hardness after continuous operation of the engine, taper and ovality of the crankshaft, crankpin, and main journal are developed. The bearing surface becomes rough, and in some cases, bearing line marks, pitting, etc., are developed. Due to these abnormalities developed in the crankshaft, failure of the bearing and the crankshaft takes place. RA Power Solutions recommends that inspection procedures be followed to ensure satisfactory performance of the crankshaft and to save it from rejection.

  • During the periodic maintenance schedule, the crankpins and main journals of the crankshaft should be checked for the development of taper and ovality.
  • The dimensions of the crankpin, taper, and ovality should be well within the limits specified by the manufacturers. There should not be any presence of bearing line marks or pitting on the crankpin journals.
  • The profile of the lubricating oil hole and radius fillet should be checked visually. There should not be any loss of the original profile.
  • The hardness test and the crack detection test by MPI or dye penetrant are not required till the major failure of the bearing or accident takes place.

  • Checking of deflection of the crankshaft.
  • Positioning of crankshaft balancing weights. They should be tightened to a specific torque as per the manual.

In case the above preventive inspection is undertaken on-site without disassembly of the crankshaft, the user can avoid any major damage to the crankshaft.

On-site machining of crankpins and main journals has been made simple in this era of technological renovation. The concept of removing the crankshaft and getting the crankshaft machined in the workshop is no longer valid. The onsite crankshaft machining is undertaken to maintain strictly all the tolerances as specified by the manufacturer and stipulated in the maintenance manual.

Crankshaft machining is no longer the monopoly of a bunch of companies based in Europe and the UK. The availability of a portable, easy-to-operate crankshaft grinding machine has made it simple and easy to undertake the polishing and grinding of the main journal if required.

RA Power Solutions is a reputable and leading crankshaft grinding machine exporter and crankshaft reconditioner, known for its high-quality products and exceptional services. With a strong commitment to customer satisfaction, RA Power Solutions has gained a stellar reputation in the industry. Our state-of-the-art crankshaft grinding machines are designed to precision grind and polish crankshafts, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of engines.
