Onsite Machining of Crankshaft | Repair of Crankshaft


We are the specialist in Onsite Machining of crankpins up to 700 mm diameter without removal of the crankshaft from the engine block.

Repair of Crankshaft

The Onsite Crankshaft Machining is possible due to the introduction of a lightweight, compact crankshaft grinding machine which sits on the crankpin diameter of the crankshaft, and grinding is done. The failure of crankpins due to the seizure of bearings, normal wear and tear or accident is possible even in the main and auxiliary engines which are well-maintained. The failure of the crankshaft causes a lot of inconvenience, expensive downtime and loss of revenue to the owners.

The crankshaft grinding equipment is put into operation in no time to execute onsite machining of the crankshaft.

Crack Detection of Crankpin

Important parameters checked after crankshaft machining

RA Power Solutions is quality conscious, and our objective is to ensure that crankshaft machining is done while maintaining the original specifications and tolerances as stipulated in the manufacturer’s manual.

 

The main features of onsite crankshaft machining executed by RA Power Solutions are as follows:

  • RA Power Solutions strictly maintains the dimensions and tolerances of the crankpin and main journal after machining as per the manufacturer’s specifications.
  • Parallelism and the central line of the crankpin are strictly maintained.
  • Surface finish is of great importance for the long life and satisfactory performance of the crankpin and main journal bearing.
  • The crankshaft machining equipment used by us is capable of maintaining a high mirror surface finish within 20 microns, which results in less friction between the bearing and the crankpin.

 

The maintenance of radius profile and lubricating oil hole is of great importance. The profiles are strictly maintained as per the guidelines given by the manufacturer.

The hardness, cracks, etc., are checked in all cases of crankshaft machining undertaken by us.

RA Power Solutions, as of date, has executed repairs on more than 15,000 crankshafts all over the world in the last 47 years. Our endeavour is always to save the crankshaft at minimum cost.
