In Situ Grinding Crankpins | In Situ Crankshaft Grinding Services

RA Power Solutions has more than four decades of experience in providing in situ crankshaft grinding, in situ crankshaft inspection and in situ grinding crankpins, and repair of the crankshaft of large high-capacity marine engines or engines installed for various applications.

In olden times whenever the crankpin or main journal of the crankshaft was damaged due to bearing failure or any other reason, the crankshaft was removed from the engine block by disassembly of the complete engine, packed, and taken to the workshop for grinding on a stationary crankshaft grinding machine.

This exercise not only delayed the commissioning of the engine but also cost it a fortune. In the early 80s, we received many crankshafts in our plant from overseas including Qatar, South America, etc. weighing more than 9 tons by Sea/Air.

With the introduction of an onsite machining tool, it is possible to undertake the repair of the crankpin and main journal. RA Power Solutions undertakes onsite grinding of crankshaft and main journal of the diameter ranging from 35 mm to 700 mm. The repair is possible without disassembling the engine and there is no need for the removal of the crankshaft. The portable and lightweight crankshaft machining tool is inserted from the window for grinding and polishing.

The onsite crankshaft grinding machine design used by us is of the latest design and is a technological revolution. It is centerless equipment and works on the same concept as of bench-type crankshaft grinding machine. No reference to the radius fillet of the crankpin is taken as in case of an accident the radius fillet gets damaged.

The following are the advantages of using RA Power Solutions’ in situ grinding crankpins services:

Experienced technicians to assess the fault in the crankshaft and plan the repairs.
The latest design of portable crankshaft grinding tools ranges from 35 to 700 mm.
Light in weight can be taken as accompanied baggage by air to any part of the world.

Crankshaft Refurbishment

We think that whenever the engine is taken up for overhaul, the crankshaft should be calibrated and refurbishment should be done. In most cases, due to continuous running bearing line marks, pitting, and rough surface are observed on the crankpin and main journal diameter of the crankshaft. In this situation, it is advised that crankshaft refurbishment should be undertaken which may cover grinding and polishing of main journals and crank pin diameter as the situation may be.

The onsite crankshaft grinding equipment and crankshaft polishing machine are supplied completely in all respects and are ready to use immediately upon arrival at the site. The machine is supplied generally with a pneumatic turbine and requires air at 7 kg/cm² and 90 CFM alternatively electric motor drive can also be supplied which is heavier than the pneumatic turbine. RA Power Solutions extends free training to the client’s technicians for the operation and maintenance of the crankshaft Grinder.

The machine is supplied in powder-coated steel boxes with clamps to hold it and can be taken by the technicians to various sites all over the world safely. The onsite crankshaft grinding and crankshaft polishing machine is available from 35 mm to 700 mm in terms of diameter.
