When it comes to maintaining marine engines, one vital aspect that deserves the utmost attention is the crankshaft. The crankshaft plays a crucial role in converting linear motion into rotational motion, and any wear or damage to this component can result in a significant decrease in engine performance. However, thanks to the expertise of experienced technicians and specialised services like Crankshaft Grinding, marine engine owners can revitalise their crankshafts and restore optimal engine functionality. In this blog, we will delve into the significance of crankshaft grinding services and how they can breathe new life into your marine engines.

RA Power Solutions has provided on-site crankshaft grinding services for the last four decades. Crankshaft having a diameter up to 700 mm is repaired onsite without removing the crankshaft from the engine block.

Why Crankshaft Grinding Matters?

The grinding of crankshaft onsite is possible by the introduction of an onsite crankshaft grinding machine, which is portable, lightweight and can be inserted from the inspection window of the engine block. RA Power Solutions also manufactures and sells crankshaft grinding machines. We offer crankshaft grinding services through our well-trained technicians, who have extensive experience in performing these services in our workshop. After repairing the crankshaft, we maintain dimensional tolerances within 20 to 30 microns. We achieve surface finishes that meet international standards.

On-Site Crankshaft Grinding Capability

Before we begin crankshaft grinding, our technicians check all major crankshaft parameters. These include dimensional inspection, hardness testing, crack detection, and deflection measurement.

In case the basic parameters are found within the repair limits, crankshaft grinding is undertaken. RA Power Solutions can maintain the tolerances strictly as per the manufacturer’s recommendations. With the introduction of the latest design of the onsite crankshaft grinding machine, the vibrations in the crankshaft grinding machine are reduced to a minimum. This ensures maintenance of close tolerance and also facilitates grinding of the crankshaft on board a vessel while it is sailing in high seas. The grinding of the crankshaft while sailing of the vessel results in considerable savings to the owners.
