Turbine Shaft Repair By New Technology – RA Power Solutions

MACHINE NOW AVAILABLE FOR SALE ON LOWEST PRICE

A few years back, it was mandatory to send the damaged turbine shaft to the workshop for repairs. This involved the disassembly of the complete turbine, removal of the turbine shaft from the block, packing, and transportation to the workshop.

A new technology has been introduced in recent years. The turbine shaft grinding machine is portable, lightweight, and can be taken to the site. The main feature of a turbine shaft grinding machine is that it can be placed on the turbine shaft bearing sitting diameters and grinding and polishing can be done without disassembly of the turbine shaft. This process of grinding and polishing of turbine shaft by the portable turbine shaft grinding machine saves downtime and cost.

Inspection of Turbine Shaft – RA Power Solutions

Considering the continuous running and severe working conditions of turbines, it is advisable to conduct periodic inspections of turbine shafts. The following is recommended:

Inspection of the turbine shaft bearing seating diameter for taper and ovality. This should be recorded.

Due to corrosion and fatigue cracks, it is recommended to undertake a crack detection check, preferably by magnetic particle test (MPI) or by dye penetrant test. A qualified technician should essentially undertake this.

Hardness Test – The hardness of the bearing seating area should be checked.

It is essential that the turbine shaft bearing seating diameter is free of bearing line marks, pitting, corrosion, and other defects, and has a surface finish under international norms. This can be checked, and the surface finish can be improved by polishing the bearing seating area.
