The company has been engaged in undertaking crankshaft repair, crankshaft grinding and crankshaft polishing, and onboard crankshaft repair for more than four decades. In olden times, bench-type crankshaft grinding machines were installed in the workshops to undertake the crankshaft repair in case of failure or development of taper and ovality due to continuous running of the engine. It was a lengthy exercise and expensive proposition to remove the crankshaft from the engine block, pack it, and transport it to the designated workshop. This exercise was not possible for the engines installed in remote locations, on vessels, or there several countries that don’t have crankshaft grinding facilities, especially for large crankshafts.
Introduction of revolutionary onsite crankshaft grinding machine
With the introduction of portable onsite crankshaft grinding machines, it becomes easy to undertake repair of crankshafts onsite without removing them from the engine block. This introduction of onsite crankshaft grinding machines was of great assistance to shipping companies, diesel power plants, and various industries as they could get the crankshaft repaired on their premises, and they saved in terms of time and money.
Onsite crankshaft grinding monopoly of a few companies
It was observed by the shipping and industries in general that the cost of onsite repair charged by a few of the European-based companies was exorbitant and they were using unfair business practices. RA Power Solutions introduction of onsite crankshaft grinding and crankshaft polishing machines do it yourself.
RA Power Solutions has been manufacturing onsite crankshaft grinding machines for the last fifteen years in technical collaboration with a leading Italian company. The machine is very easy to operate and maintain. Machines are manufactured in the range of 35 mm to 700 mm diameter. By providing onsite training to our clients and technicians, they can operate the machine of their own. It is observed that in most of cases, if the crankpin and main journal of the crankshaft are polished from time to time, the failure of the bearing and crankshaft can be controlled to a large extent.
“Do it yourself” concept
The technicians onboard a vessel can undertake the polishing of crankpins and main journals of their own. We have several clients using our onsite crankshaft grinding machines undertaking the polishing and grinding of the crankshaft of their own and stopped paying huge amounts towards the repair of the crankshaft.
Technicians available 24*7
