Large marine and industrial engines depend on crankshafts running smoothly under heavy loads for thousands of hours. Over time, crankshafts, especially the crank-pin journals and main journals, wear, develop surface roughness or taper/ovality, which can lead to bearing damage or complete engine failure.
Removing the crankshaft and sending it to a workshop used to be the only option for repair. But with the rise of modern portable machines, it’s now possible to grind and polish the crankshaft on-site, in situ, without dismantling the engine. That’s where the on-site crankshaft grinding machine from RA Power Solutions comes in.

We have sold more than 100 onsite crankshaft grinding machines all over the world, we understand the importance of training and the essential skills involved in the operation and maintenance of the machine. We ensure that the client’s technicians are thoroughly briefed about the operation and maintenance of the equipment.
The training is given at our works or at the client’s site. We prefer in case the training be provided at the client’s site. The following points are covered during the training on the operation and maintenance of the crankshaft grinding machine.
I) Safety:
a) Safety is a very important aspect and technicians are briefed to wear safety glasses, gloves, safety shoes, etc.
b) Keep all parts of the body away from the moving parts of the machine.
II) Brief explanation of the main parts of the crankshaft grinding machine
We explain the details and functions of all the grinding machine parts to the client’s team. This helps them grind the shaft easily and maintain the crankpin and main journal tolerance as per the engine manufacturer’s guidelines.
III) Operation of the machine:

We explain all the technical aspects involved in operating the machine. This includes the control system, the grinding process, and the complete operation.
IV) Maintenance:
The maintenance of the machine for the long life and smooth operation is of great importance. All the aspects related to day-to-day maintenance are explained.

It is a portable grinding and polishing unit designed to repair crankshaft journals (crankpins & main journals) directly at the site, without removing or transporting the crankshaft.
RA Power Solutions’ machines cover shaft diameters from 35 mm up to 700 mm, suitable for small diesel engines to large marine/industrial crankshafts.
Yes, technicians receive comprehensive operation and maintenance training (7–10 days if required), including safety, machine parts, grinding process and maintenance procedures.
The machine maintains taper/ovality within 0.02–0.03 mm (depending on shaft size) and delivers a fine surface finish with surface roughness below approx. 0.15 RA.
On-site grinding saves time and cost by eliminating dismantling and transport, reduces engine downtime drastically, ensures OEM-level precision, and avoids risks associated with handling heavy crankshafts.
