  • Excessive wear and tear of the crank pin and main journal.
  • Increase in the oil gap between the crank pin, main journal, and bearing.
  • Frequent damage to the crank pin and main journal bearings due to the development of excessive taper and ovality.
  • Seizure of crank pin and main journal bearings on compressor crankshaft due to non-replacement of bearings within the specified schedule.
  • Development of rough surface of the crankpin and main journal due to bad quality of lubricating oil and lubricating oil filters.
  • Damage to both sides of the radius fillet due to an accident.
  • Damage to the crank pin of the compressor crankshaft due to excessive ovality in the connecting rod big end bore.

With the introduction of the latest technology, there is no requirement to dismantle the crankshaft from the compressor casing.

Our technicians visit the site and undertake on-site compressor crankshaft inspection. We have on-site compressor crankshaft polishing and grinding equipment available, which our technicians use to carry out repairs in no time.

SAVE YOUR COMPRESSOR CRANKSHAFT AND INCREASE THE LIFE:-

 Save crankshaft repairs for ammonia and refrigeration compressors.We strongly suggest that medium and high-capacity compressors that their crankshafts should be periodically calibrated for taper and ovality, rough surface, hardness, and crack detection.

It is always advisable to get the crankshaft repair for the reciprocating compressor inspected so that corrective action can be taken on time.

The loss of the crankshaft brings the whole plant to a standstill and now can be avoided by availing the expert services of RA Power Solutions, we regularly undertake inspection and repair of compressor crankshaft of Ariel, Cummins, Kirloskar, Samson, Porter-Cable, Stanley Bostitch, Campbell Hausfeld, DeWalt, Makita, Senco, ANEST IWATA, Gardner Denver, Graham Sulzer, Hitachi, Rolair Systems, Brehob, Lufkin, Zebra, Ingersoll Rand, etc.

  4. Crankshaft Straightening
  5. Crankshaft Regrinding
  6. Crankshaft Polishing
  7. Crankpin Machining, Crankshaft Journal Machining

We can undertake the repair and polishing of crankshafts with diameters ranging from 35 mm to 700 mm. Our technicians can fly to any part of the world at short notice. As they carry with them the Indian CDC. The machining of the crankshaft, repair of spare parts, engine overhauling, and maintenance can also be undertaken while sailing the vessel.

Our portable, lightweight onsite crankshaft grinding machine is designed to generate minimum vibration. Thus, maintaining a high standard of quality in terms of surface finish, taper, and ovality. Since we offer repair of primary spares, maintenance, and overhauling of engines, spares, etc. We own one point of responsibility for the satisfactory performance of the engine in totality.

Crankshaft Reconditioning | Crankshaft Grinding Machine Exporter – RA Power Solutions

RA Power Solutions undertakes the repair of crankshafts having a diameter ranging from 35 mm to 700 mm. The concept of removing the crankshaft and sending it to the workshop for repair is now no longer valid, and the user gets the crankshaft repaired onsite.

During our working of more than forty years on marine main, crankshaft reconditioning, auxiliary engines, and high capacity diesel generating sets installed in industry, power plants, etc., we have observed that while the maintenance schedule stipulated by the engine manufacturer in the maintenance manual is religiously followed, but no attention is paid on the crankshaft’s condition.

Even during the maintenance schedule of 25,000 to 30,000 hours of operation, maintenance agencies and officials connected with the day-to-day upkeep of the engine ignore the inspection of the crankshaft till the seizure of the bearing or any other major breakdown happens in the crankshaft.

We have experienced that irrespective of the metallurgy of the crankshaft and level of hardness after continuous operation of the engine, taper and ovality of the crankshaft, crankpin, and main journal are developed. The bearing surface becomes rough, and in some cases, bearing line marks, pitting, etc., are developed. Due to these abnormalities developed in the crankshaft, failure of the bearing and the crankshaft takes place. RA Power Solutions recommends that inspection procedures be followed to ensure satisfactory performance of the crankshaft and to save it from rejection.

  • During the periodic maintenance schedule, the crankpins and main journals of the crankshaft should be checked for the development of taper and ovality.
  • The dimensions of the crankpin, taper, and ovality should be well within the limits specified by the manufacturers. There should not be any presence of bearing line marks or pitting on the crankpin journals.
  • The profile of the lubricating oil hole and radius fillet should be checked visually. There should not be any loss of the original profile.
  • The hardness test and the crack detection test by MPI or dye penetrant are not required till the major failure of the bearing or accident takes place.

  • Checking of deflection of the crankshaft.
  • Positioning of crankshaft balancing weights. They should be tightened to a specific torque as per the manual.

In case the above preventive inspection is undertaken on-site without disassembly of the crankshaft, the user can avoid any major damage to the crankshaft.

On-site machining of crankpins and main journals has been made simple in this era of technological renovation. The concept of removing the crankshaft and getting the crankshaft machined in the workshop is no longer valid. The onsite crankshaft machining is undertaken to maintain strictly all the tolerances as specified by the manufacturer and stipulated in the maintenance manual.

Crankshaft machining is no longer the monopoly of a bunch of companies based in Europe and the UK. The availability of a portable, easy-to-operate crankshaft grinding machine has made it simple and easy to undertake the polishing and grinding of the main journal if required.

RA Power Solutions is a reputable and leading crankshaft grinding machine exporter and crankshaft reconditioner, known for its high-quality products and exceptional services. With a strong commitment to customer satisfaction, RA Power Solutions has gained a stellar reputation in the industry. Our state-of-the-art crankshaft grinding machines are designed to precision grind and polish crankshafts, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of engines.
