Onsite Crankshaft Grinding Machines – Worldwide Supplier

Onsite crankshaft grinding machine is a specialised machine that is used to manufacture, repair, and recondition crankshafts on site. The engine’s backbone is the crankshaft, which converts piston motion into rotation. Consequently, its precision is essential. Crankshafts can develop surface imperfections, erosion, or scoring over time. Through the restoration of engines to their exact proportions with a faultless finish, our machine guarantees their dependability and efficiency.

RA Power Solutions is emerging as a worldwide supplier of such machines, enabling engine and repair shops, power plants, and marine operators to carry out crankshaft repairs without removing them from the engine block.

Onsite Crankshaft Grinding and Repair Services

When it comes to maintaining heavy-duty machinery, engine performance and reliability are crucial. At the core of every engine lies the crankshaft, a component that demands precise maintenance to ensure consistent operation. Traditionally, repairing a damaged crankshaft required complete disassembly and transportation to a workshop, resulting in extended downtime and high costs. Fortunately, modern advancements have introduced in situ crankshaft grinding machines, making it possible to perform repairs directly at the site, eliminating the need for dismantling.

Overview of onsite crankshaft grinding and repair

Understanding In Situ Crankshaft Grinding Machines

In situ crankshaft grinding machines are specialized tools designed to repair and restore crankshafts directly within the engine assembly. These machines eliminate the need to remove the crankshaft from the engine block, thereby reducing downtime and associated costs. They are particularly beneficial in situations where only one or two crank pins are damaged, making it uneconomical to send the entire crankshaft to a distant workshop.

Renewal of Crankshaft | Crankshaft Replacement of Engine – RA Power Solutions

Crankshaft Renewal by RA Power Solutions

Serious breakdown of Wartsila 12V32 diesel generating set installed in one of our client’s power plants in Madagascar was reported. RA Power Solutions deputed 2 senior engineers immediately to the site.

Wartsila Diesel Generating Sets Installed in Plant
Wartsila Diesel Generating Sets Installed in Plant

On inspection, the following were the main observations of the Wartsila 12V32 diesel-generating sets:

  • The bearing of CR pin no. 2 got seized due to the lack of lubrication.
  • The removal of bearing from the crankpin was a tough task as the bearing material got embedded in the CR pin.
  • After removal of bearing, the crankpin was subject to crack detection test by MPI. Multiple cracks with open mouth were observed even in the critical area of the crankpin like lubricating oil hole, and radius fillet.
  • On spot grinding on cracks was done. Even after stock removal of 4 mm in terms of depth, cracks were observed. Hence, the crankshaft was rejected.
