About Crankshaft Repair While Sailing
Crankshaft repair by grinding and polishing is now possible while vessel is on move. RA Power Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is the first company to offer crankshaft repair services while vessel is sailing by onsite portable crankshaft grinding equipment which is taken on board the vessel. The crankshaft repair is undertaken by vibration free crankshaft grinding machine without removing the crankshaft from the engine block thus saving time and cost
RA Power Solutions Pvt. Ltd. undertakes onsite crankshaft grinding and polishing on board the vessel while sailing up to 700 mm diameter
RA Power Solutions Pvt. Ltd. has recently undertaken grinding of all 6 CR pins of MAN B&W STX 6L23/30H while sailing of vessel between ports of Malaysia and Indonesia. The crankpins were damaged due to lack of lubrication oil and all the pins were undersized by 0.5 mm. The tolerances after grinding and polishing have been maintained as per the manufacturers requirements.
RA Power Solutions Pvt. Ltd. has designed vibration free onsite crankshaft grinding and crankshaft polishing equipment by which it is possible to execute crankshaft repair while ship is on move.
Portable Repair Solution for Marine EnginesThe CRS-2500 crankshaft repair machine brings efficient, reliable servicing directly onto ships. Its weatherproof, compact design and deck portability keep marine engines running without docking delays. Integrated water cooling and centralized lubrication systems guarantee safe, quiet operations while sailing, facilitating high-precision maintenance for shipboard environments.
Precision Craftsmanship on the MoveAchieve surface finishes as fine as Ra 0.3 m for crankshafts up to 2,500 mm in length. This machine uses standard magnetic chucks and custom grinding wheels, coupled with variable speeds for both spindle and grinding. The hydraulic/manual controls, stable guideways, and single-operator capability ensure consistent repair quality for marine or auxiliary machinery.
Safe and Adaptable OperationFeaturing overload protection with centralized lubrication and water cooling, the CRS-2500 ensures safe operation aboard ships. The compact design fits limited floor spaces found on decks, boasts noise levels below 80 dB, and supports weatherproof case packaging. Its manual system adapts readily to either clockwise or counterclockwise rotations, backed by robust steel or alloy materials.
FAQ's of Crankshaft Repair While Sailing:
Q: How can the CRS-2500 be used for crankshaft repairs while sailing?
A: The CRS-2500 is specifically designed for portable, on-board crankshaft repairs in marine environments. Its compact, weatherproof build and deck mobility allow single operators to perform repairs even while a ship is at sea, minimizing downtime by removing the need to return to port.
Q: What benefits does integrated water cooling and centralized lubrication provide?
A: The CRS-2500 uses integrated water cooling and centralized lubrication to maintain optimal operating temperatures and reduce mechanical wear. This ensures high-quality machining, protects against overheating, and extends the lifespan of both the device and the engine parts being repaired.
Q: When should I use the CRS-2500 for marine crankshaft maintenance?
A: This machine is ideal for scheduled maintenance, emergency repairs, or overhaul situations when immediate, on-site servicing of marine engine or auxiliary equipment crankshafts-up to 2,500 mm in length-is required during voyages or in remote locations.
Q: Where on a ship can the CRS-2500 be operated?
A: Thanks to its portable design and compact footprint, the CRS-2500 can be set up and operated directly on the ship's deck or in engine rooms with limited floor space. Weatherproof cases ensure the machine remains protected during transport or when not in use.
Q: What is the process for repairing a crankshaft using this machine?
A: A single operator positions the standard magnetic chuck and custom grinding wheel against the crankshaft, selects variable speeds for both spindle and wheel, and manually controls the hydraulic system. Integrated cooling and lubrication systems run throughout, while overload protection guards against excessive force.
Q: How does the CRS-2500 ensure safety during operation?
A: The machine includes overload protection to prevent mechanical or electrical mishaps. Noise levels are kept below 80 dB, and the centralized lubrication system ensures that moving parts operate smoothly, reducing the risk of operator injury and equipment damage.
Q: What advantages does on-board repair capability provide for marine operators?
A: On-board repair capability enables immediate response to maintenance needs, minimizes costly delays, and supports uninterrupted voyages. The CRS-2500's portability, weatherproof packing, and suitability for single-operator use make it an efficient solution for shipboard crankshaft repair, reducing operational expenses and downtime.
