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.

What Is an On-Site Crankshaft Grinding Machine?

  • This lightweight, compact grinding and polishing machine allows engineers to bring it directly to ships, power plants, or industrial units. It eliminates the need to send crankshafts to a workshop.
  • The machines from RA Power Solutions cover a wide range: from 35 mm to 700 mm shaft diameters, so they can handle small diesel engines up to heavy-duty marine engines.
  • The design allows the unit to fit through inspection windows of engine blocks, enabling grinding or polishing even if the crankshaft stays inside the engine.

FAQs:

1. What is an on-site crankshaft grinding machine?

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.

2. Which shaft sizes can this machine handle?

RA Power Solutions’ machines cover shaft diameters from 35 mm up to 700 mm, suitable for small diesel engines to large marine/industrial crankshafts.

3. Do you provide training on how to operate the machine?

Yes, technicians receive comprehensive operation and maintenance training (7–10 days if required), including safety, machine parts, grinding process and maintenance procedures.

4. What tolerances and surface finish can be achieve?

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.

5. Why choose on-site grinding rather than sending crankshaft to workshop?

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.
