Special Size Engine Bearings | Undersize Marine Engine Bearings

RA Power Solutions undertakes on site repair of the crankshafts of main and auxiliary engines installed on vessels, as well as high-capacity engines used for various applications. The crankshaft repair is undertaken by the use of specially designed portable, compact, and lightweight onsite crankshaft grinding machines, which are designed, developed, and manufactured.

After grinding the crankpin and main journal of the crankshaft, undersized bearings are required. Manufacturers and their agents often do not have these undersized bearings readily available. RA Power Solutions maintains a large stock of undersized bearings for crankpins and main journals. We supply bearings for main and auxiliary engines of all popular makes and models installed on vessels.

The bearings are imported from Japan and Europe. The ready availability of bearings reduces the downtime of the engine. RA Power Solutions supplies main journal and crankpin bearings with a guarantee of satisfactory performance for 2,500 hours of operation or 12 months from the date of dispatch.

We have been repairing crankshafts for over forty-five years. In some cases, we encounter crankpins or main journals that require reducing the diameter beyond the manufacturer’s last specified limits. In this situation, the user has no option but to reject the crankshaft and purchase the new crankshaft, the cost of which is exorbitant, and the procurement period is long.
