RA Power Solutions is the leading company in thermal spraying and rebuilding of shafts. We have the expertise in rebuilding the crankshafts, cylindrical shafts, castings and mechanical components which are damaged and worn out beyond the last permissible limit by the manufacturer.
In case the shaft is heavy and cannot be removed from the main equipment, we undertake on-site rebuilding or on-site metal spraying.
The reclamation of a crankshaft (and many other components) can produce considerable savings over the replacement cost. Saving of 50% is common, and in the case of large components, as much as 90% may be saved.
The need for thermal spray or rebuilding may be to correct manufacturing errors or to repair an obsolete part or a part that has worn excessively in service.
We have highly trained engineers supported with the latest equipment who undertake insitu Metal Spray or in the factory to provide the highest quality of rebuilding techniques to achieve high specification irrespective of all types of components.
Rebuilding by metal spraying provides a smooth, wear-resistant surface with a low coefficient of friction.
Thermal spraying is the best build-up method, especially for crankshafts that need a hard surface on the crankpins and main journals. The rebuilding is done in our workshop or onsite.
On-site metal spraying is a "cold" process; it eliminates the risk of heat warpage from welding and the need for subsequent straightening.
A prime financial benefit of on-site rebuilding and on-site metal spraying is the saving of the replacement cost of the crankshaft and, in some cases, the replacement cost of the engine itself when a new crankshaft is not obtainable.
Depending on the local cost of labour, the cost of repairing the crankshaft will vary, but worldwide experience shows this to be a very small percentage of replacement cost.
We have successfully undertaken on-site rebuilding of crankshafts exceeding more than 1000 in number.
Remanufacturing of the crankshaft by the metal spraying process also ensures maintenance of hardness as per the manufacturer's recommendation.
