Instructions for using on site 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 Second Step.
Dismantle the machine and check all spare parts, assemble the Pneumatic Motor in insitu grinding machine.
Assemble the hardware in the shell and assemble the machine on the crank pin and rotate gear manually.
Assemble the machine upper and lower cap and recheck all bolts.
Connect Air Hose Pipe to Pneumatic Motor.
After machining process first round is complete, dismantle the in situ grinding machine and check size of Crank Pin.
Follow same step to complete job.
Before maintaining final size, check hardness, MPI or DP Test & take Maximum Reading by Micrometer.

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

Crankpin Grinding | Crankpin Repair by Insitu Crankshaft Grinding Machine- RA Power Solutions

Crankpin grinding, and crankpin repair by in situ crankshaft grinding machine is offered by RA Power Solutions through a highly motivated team of technicians who have the experience of four decades in crankshaft grinding and crankshaft repair. It is important that the crankshaft is initially inspected by experienced technicians in order to detect the fault after the damage or accident.

**Inspection of Crankpin Under Process**

The following are the major parameters that are examined before the repair of the crankshaft:

Minimum and maximum diameter of the crankpin and main journal, taper, and ovality is checked.
Run out of main journals and deflection readings are taken to verify the loss of alignment.
A complete non-destructive test using MPI and ultraviolet lamp for heat cracks is undertaken of crankpins and the main journal of the crankshaft.
The crankshaft is also subject to a hardness test.

Based on the preliminary inspection reports prepared by the technicians the repair procedure is planned. The onsite crankshaft grinding machine used for the crankshaft repair is lightweight and is placed on the damaged crank pin from the inspection window of the engine block. There is no requirement of removing the crankshaft from the Entablature and send it to the workshop as bench-type grinders are now outdated.

The crankshaft grinding and crankshaft polishing is undertaken to maintain taper and ovality, surface finish as per the OEMs requirement. RA Power Solutions have facilities to undertake in situ crankshaft grinding, crankshaft polishing, and repair of crankshaft up to the diameter of 700 mm without removing the crankshaft from the engine block.

**Crankpin Grinding of Diesel Engine While Vessel is Sailing**

During and after the repairs, all the major technical parameters are checked and a calibration report is prepared. It is possible to execute the crankshaft grinding and crankshaft repair on board a vessel while it is sailing. Technicians have seaman passports and can travel to any part of the world in the shortest possible time, thus attending to the damaged engine in a short time. We are class-approved and stand to guarantee the satisfactory performance of the crankshaft after repairs.

**Crankpin Grinding and Crankpin Polishing is in Process**

We are commonly working on the following engines:

Wartsila, Daihatsu, Mirrless Blackstone, Yanmar, Allen, MAK, MAN, B&W, Sulzer, Caterpillar, Fiat, Mitsubishi, MTU, Cummins, Deutz, Nohab Polar, Wartsila 12V32, Wartsila 18V32, Pielstick, Bergen, Detroit Diesel, MaK 552 , MaK 453, MaK 451 AK, Niigata, MaK 452 AK, Ruston, Lister Blackstone K8 Major MK2, Volvo Penta, etc.

Crankshaft Grinding Executed on Board a Vessel – RA Power Solutions

RA Power Solutions has executed successfully the crankshaft grinding of 6 pins on board a vessel at Dumai/Lubuk Gaung Port, Indonesia of MAN B&W STX 6L23/30H Engine.

In this case, crankshaft grinding was required because all the CR pins having a standard diameter of 185 mm developed taper and ovality. Out of 6 CR pins, not even a single pin was seized or crack was developed.

**Crankshaft Deflection and MPI Test Under Process**

The above observations show that the engine users should periodically get the crankshaft calibrated and go for grinding and polishing as the crankshaft develops taper and ovality due to continuous running.

To execute the above job, RA Power Solutions Pvt. Ltd. used a crankshaft grinder which is lightweight, and the crankshaft grinder was taken to the site. RA Power Solutions has sold more than 60 crankshaft grinding machines all over the world.

RA Power Solutions offers precision crankshaft grinding services, restoring your engine’s efficiency and durability. Trust our experts to deliver unparalleled results. Contact us for superior crankshaft solutions.
