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.

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

Crankshaft journal and crankshaft crank pin diameter should be ground and polished to attain a surface finish of 15 microinches or better. Again, the maintenance of the taper and ovality of the 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. A few years back, it was a monopoly of a 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.
