Crankshaft is an important part of the engine. In case of High Capacity Marine, Industrial, and Power Plant engines, the cost of crankshaft is very high. In fact worldwide there are limited manufacturers of heavy-duty crankshafts, which are used in high-capacity Engines, Compressors, Pumps, and Rotary equipment. It is important that crankshafts are properly maintained in order to increase the operation hours and save the cost.
RA Power Solutions with more than 44 years of experience in crankshaft repairs have saved more than ten thousand (10,000) crankshafts from rejection. This was possible only because of bringing awareness to ship owners staff, power plants, and users in general during the conferences held all over the world and the various blogs written, publications, etc.
The Crankshaft maintenance is easy and the life can be increased many folds by taking following steps.
- Visual Inspection Of Crankshaft:- We Suggest that crankshaft should be subject to Visual Inspection periodically. The Crankpin Cap and Main Journal Cap can be opened for Visual Inspection, the focus should be on radius fillet of both the sides, lubrication oil hole, and Crankpin /Main Journal dia should be free of any Scratch marks or Rough Surface.
- Periodic Polishing of Crank Pin and Main Journal of Crankshaft:- Regular Polishing of Crankpin and Main Journal can extend the life of crankshaft and bearings. With the latest technology of onsite crankshaft polishing machines, It is simple to polish the crankpins in a few hours.
- Crankshaft Grinding:- We strongly recommend that in case of development of taper, ovality, and rough surface the grinding should be done in accordance with the manufacturer’s standards.
With the crankshaft grinding we can easily restore the original dimensions. The grinding of the crankshaft is done onsite and there is no need for removal of the crankshaft from the entablature. - Change of Oil and Oil Filters of Engines:- In order to increase the life of crankshaft and bearings, It is recommended to follow the manufacturer guidelines for change of Oil and Oil Filters.
