Are you facing any problems with the crankshaft of your compressor? RA Power Solutions has repaired the compressor crankshaft easily.

With the introduction of new, revolutionary technology, the compressor crankshaft can be inspected on-site and repaired if required.

The following are the common problems observed in compressor crankshafts :

Excessive wear and tear of the crank pin and main journal.
Increase in the oil gap between the crank pin, main journal, and bearing.
Frequent damage to the crank pin and main journal bearings due to the development of excessive taper and ovality.
Seizure of crank pin and main journal bearings on compressor crankshaft due to non-replacement of bearings within the specified schedule.
Development of rough surface of the crankpin and main journal due to bad quality of lubricating oil and lubricating oil filters.
Damage to both sides of the radius fillet due to an accident.
Damage to the crank pin of the compressor crankshaft due to excessive ovality in the connecting rod big end bore.

With the introduction of the latest technology, there is no requirement to dismantle the crankshaft from the compressor casing.

Our technicians visit the site and undertake on-site compressor crankshaft inspection. We have on-site compressor crankshaft polishing and grinding equipment available, which our technicians use to carry out repairs in no time.

SAVE YOUR COMPRESSOR CRANKSHAFT AND INCREASE THE LIFE:-

We strongly suggest that medium and high-capacity compressors that their crankshafts should be periodically calibrated for taper and ovality, rough surface, hardness, and crack detection.

It is always advisable to get the crankshaft repair for the reciprocating compressor inspected so that corrective action can be taken on time.

The loss of the crankshaft brings the whole plant to a standstill and now can be avoided by availing the expert services of RA Power Solutions, we regularly undertake inspection and repair of compressor crankshaft of Ariel, Cummins, Kirloskar, Samson, Porter-Cable, Stanley Bostitch, Campbell Hausfeld, DeWalt, Makita, Senco, ANEST IWATA, Gardner Denver, Graham Sulzer, Hitachi, Rolair Systems, Brehob, Lufkin, Zebra, Ingersoll Rand, etc.

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.

Inspection of Crankpin Before Repair & Grinding

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.

Instructions for using the onsite crankshaft and cylindrical Grinding Machine:-

Inspection:

Check CR Pin Size, Hardness, DP Test, or Magnetic Particle Test, and
Deflection, in case all reports are good after that, take the Second Step.
Dismantle the machine and check all spare parts, assemble the Pneumatic Motor in the insitu grinding machine.
Assemble the hardware in the shell, assemble the machine on the crank pin, and rotate the gear manually.
Assemble the machine’s upper and lower caps and recheck all bolts.
Connect the Air Hose Pipe to the Pneumatic Motor.
After the machining process first round is complete, dismantle the in situ grinding machine and check the size of the Crank Pin.
Follow the same steps to complete the job.
Before maintaining the final size, check hardness, MPI, or DP Test & take Maximum Reading by Micrometer.

Note: Before the final size check, reset the outside micrometer and take the dimensions again.
