RA Power Solutions has recently undertaken onsite repair of the crankshaft of Peroni pump manufactured and supplied by Peroni Pompe Italy. The crankshaft has three number of crankpin with a standard diameter of 215 mm, developed taper/ovality, and a rough surface. This problem caused frequent damage to the crankpin bearings, leading to major shutdown of the plant and heavy financial losses for the company.

**Onsite Machining Of Peroni Pompe Italy Crankshaft**

The crankshaft of Peroni Pump manufactured by Peroni Pompe Italy, was inspected by RA Power Solutions technicians for the following parameters:

Dimensional inspection of crankpin for taper & ovality. The ovality ranging from 0.06 mm to 0.18 mm was observed.
The MPI test was conducted with a high-intensity Magnaflux torch and no abnormality was observed. Few superficial hairline cracks were observed, which may be due to rubbing of the crankshaft bearing steel lining with the crankpin diameter.
The hardness of the crankpin was observed within limits.
On visual inspection, bearing line marks and a rough surface was observed.
