We use the latest design of onsite crankshaft grinding equipment, which offers significant technical advantages over conventional grinding machines used in the industry.

The crankshaft grinding process allows us to restore crankpins and main journals while maintaining taper and ovality within the tolerances specified by the engine manufacturer. Our experienced technicians ensure that all repairs meet OEM standards and deliver reliable engine performance.

Over the years, we have completed more than 10,000 crankshaft grinding and repair projects for marine, industrial, and power generation engines across the world.

When is Crankshaft Grinding Required?

Crankshaft grinding and repair become necessary when the crankshaft develops wear, damage, or alignment issues during engine operation. These problems can affect engine efficiency and may lead to major mechanical failures if not repaired in time.

Bearing line marks or scoring on the journal surface
Development of pitting or rough surface on crankpins
Misalignment of the crankshaft due to operational stress or accidents
  1. Increase in ovality or taper in the crankpin or main journal
  2. Bearing line marks or scoring on the journal surface
  3. Development of pitting or rough surface on crankpins
  4. Misalignment of the crankshaft due to operational stress or accidents
Failure to promptly correct these defects could result in severe engine damage and prolonged downtime.
