Save your crankshaft from rejection, contact RA Power Solutions for the right advice.

With the experience of more than four decades in the field of repair of crankshafts, we have realized that the crankshaft repair companies do not have the facilities to undertake the grinding of crank pins and main journals having small diameters and bearing widths. Their equipment is not designed to sit on the crank pin diameter due to the small bearing width.

Most of the time, these companies either reject the crankshaft for one or another reason otherwise give suggestions to send it to the workshop for repairs. With the advanced technological equipment, experience, and process RA Power Solutions has been successful in undertaking the grinding of crank pins and main journals having small diameters and bearing widths.

The above job was executed in July 2017 and is performing satisfactorily.

We have the pre and final crankshaft inspection reports undertaken on board the vessel duly signed and stamped by the chief engineer. These reports can be shared with clients on request. Take the direct benefit of our expertise and technology.
