Onsite Crankshaft Grinding & Polishing by Revolutionary Portable Equipment – RA Power Solutions

Crankshaft journal and crankshaft crank pin diameter should be grind and polished to attain a surface finish of 15 microinches or better. Again, the maintenance of taper and ovality of crankpin and crankshaft main journal has to be within the limit recommended by the manufacturer. Generally, the limits are within 0.02 to 0.05 mm, depending on the diameter of the crankpin and main journal. Till few years back it was a monopoly of few European companies undertaking onsite crankshaft grinding and crankshaft polishing jobs charging exorbitant prices from the shipping companies and the power plants who had no option but to get the job of onsite crankshaft grinding and crankshaft polishing done from them.

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

RA Power Solutions is having more than forty years of experience in crankshaft reconditioning of large marine engines and engines installed in Power plants.

Diesel Engine Ready for Grinding & Repair

The onsite crankshaft repair and grinding is undertaken by RA Power Solutions experienced technicians for diameter ranging from 30 mm to 700 mm, which cover almost all the crankshafts used for different applications. It is generally observed that due to non-experience or lack of knowledge of the companies undertaking crankshaft reconditioning of Crankshaft misguide the end users resulting to serious breakdown and considerable higher expense.

Onsite Grinding of Crankpin by RA Power Solutions

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

Above suggestions are given for reconditioning of crankshaft. It is always advisable to send photographs and brief Inspection report to RA Power Solutions for free recommendation as how to repair Crankshaft successfully.

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.
