Caterpillar and Cummins Crankshaft Grinding and Crankshaft Repair


The crankpins of the Caterpillar and Cummins engines get worn out and develop ovality after operation for 25000 to 30000 hrs. They need grinding & polishing.

RA Power Solutions undertakes onsite grinding of all models of Diesel Engines including Caterpillar and Cummins.

The grinding of crankshaft of Caterpillar and Cummins engines needs a specially designed in situ crankshaft grinding machine which is compact enough to be inserted from the inspection window of the engine. Again the space available above the crankpin is limited, this makes it difficult for the fitment of onsite crankshaft grinding equipment on the crankpin.
