Crankshaft Repair & Crankshaft Grinding by Crankshaft Grinding Machine – RA Power Solutions

Crankshaft Repair does not require the crankshaft to be removed from the entablature. In the recent past, due to seizure of bearings or development of taper, ovality, or loss of alignment of the crankshaft, it was necessary to remove the crankshaft from the engine block and send it to the designated workshop for crankshaft grinding and crankshaft repair.

Crankpin Repair

FAQs:

Can a damaged crankshaft be repaired?

The only safe way to repair a crankshaft is if the damage is contained within the pins – you can grind them to undersize. Any other damage would, unfortunately, mean a new crankshaft is required. Bad news, but much better than the risk of blowing the whole engine

Is a crankshaft easy to fix?

It should be remembered, though, that in all cases, crankshaft repair is a highly specialised area of engine repair that requires the use of specialised equipment, having expert-level knowledge about crankshaft repair procedures, and possessing technical skills that take several years to acquire.

What is the crankshaft in a diesel engine?

The crankshaft is essentially the backbone of the internal combustion engine. The crankshaft is responsible for the proper operation of the engine and converting a linear motion to a rotational motion.

Marine Engine Bearings – RA Power Solutions

Engine bearings for crankpin and main journal are manufactured by RA Power Solutions Pvt. Ltd. We also maintain stock of standard and undersized bearings in tri-metal and bimetal of popular make and model of engines.

After grinding the crankpin and main journal of crankshafts, undersize crankpin bearings and main journal bearings are required. It is observed that engine manufacturers most of the time do not have an inventory of undersized bearings, thus delaying the assembly and commissioning of the engine.
