The main features of successful repair of crankshaft of Daihatsu 5DC-17 is as follows:

  • We must understand that this crankshaft is not hardened and the hardness is considerably low in the range of 22 to 30 HRC depending on the year of manufacturing of the crankshaft as certain improvements in the Metallurgy of the forging has been introduced by Daihatsu and the crankshaft manufacturer.
  • Due to the low hardness wear & tear of crank pin is a very common problem faced by shipping companies as these are installed on vessel as Auxilary Engines. The excessive ovality develops even after running of the auxiliary engine by 10000 to 15000 hrs of operation.
  • No company in the world has the equipment & technology to repair the crankpin on site of Daihatsu 5DC-17 as they do not have the equipment.

The standard diameter of crankpin is only 145 mm and the bearing width is 64 mm it is difficult for repair companies to design equipment which can sit on the crankpin having width of only 64 mm hence they always advise clients to remove the crankshaft from the engine block & send it to a workshop or replace it.

  • RA Power Solutions has the equipment which can undertake the grinding of crankpin even while sailing of the vessel. We have successfully executed the repair of crankpins which have met with a serious accident with damage to the radius fillet.
