Crankshaft journal surfaces should be ground and polished to a surface finish of 15 micro inches roughness average Ra or better. Journals on highly loaded crankshafts such as diesel engines or high performance racing engines require a finish of 10 micro inches Ra or better.

crankshafts lasted about 1000 km each, and the journals were damaged again. The crankshafts were then sent to be investigated. The cause of the damaged journals was wrong grinding process.Due to that originating small thermal fatigue cracks at the center of the journals, on both crankshafts. These

Crank journals can also be out of round at the damaged surfaces, so this also provides an even journal for welding. At the welding station, Ohio Crankshaft uses "Submerged Arc" machinery considered to be the most effective way to get proper penetration of …

Crankshaft is the heart of engine and is the most important/expensive component. It is necessary that crankpin journal and main journal of the crankshaft are periodically inspected and polished. This not only enhances the life of bearing but saves crankshaft from any damage in case it is properly polished.

If a used crank checks out OK and you intend to re-use it (with no need to re-grind), each journal can be polished on a crankshaft belt polisher, using 400 grit, stepped up to 600 grit. The journals should not be "mirror" polished, since …

Pulled a crankshaft out of an older engine, and it has some scoring on the rod journals that go around the journal, not side to side. Most are light but one you can definitely catch one with a fingernail. Question is in regard to polishing versus grinding. What is the cutoff point? If you had...

Regrinding the crankshaft is an important part of the engine rebuilding process. It was almost an art in the '40s, but it's pretty routine now. However, there are still plenty of myths and misunderstandings that are left over from the past that we still have to deal with today.Click Here to Read MoreAdvertisement One of […]

Premature Crankshaft Bearing Wear and Journal Finish This article is an overview of the history of crankshaft journal surface finishing and how it has evolved into today's higher standards and the processes and equipment that support this evolving process and will focus on the Micro-polishing process.

Crankshaft Grinding What is it? Grinding a crankshaft is the process of removing material from journals in order to recondition and reuse a vital part of an engine. It is usually done during the process of rebuilding an engine when needed. However, there are also some performance aspects which come along with the process.

On-Site & In-Situ Crankshaft Journal Repair. The main journal forms the rotational centre of a crankshaft. Grinding or machining and polishing of crankshaft main journals is one of our specialities. We guarantee our repairs to OEM (original equipment manufacturer) tolerances and surface finish specifications.

I just received the crank today and one of the journals is .0007" tapered. I now have a crank that started with standard journals and is now .02" under and still not right. This crank has been shipped all over the country, ground 3 times, and nitrided twice. Marine Crankshaft tells me they will weld the journals and grind back to standard for me.

So, here we are going to discuss about the crankshaft grinding, which is –. "Crankshaft grinding is a process of removing material from the main journals and rod journals in a dire effort to refurbish and replace it with a new one. It is the most important process for the smooth functioning of the compressor.".

Grinder burn. 4. Wrong fillet (radius too sharp, incorrect finish). 5. Wrong or no shot peen operation after grinding. See Guideline for Reusable Parts, "Procedure to Grind Crankshafts," Form SEBF8047. 6. Main bearing failure. The main journal is no longer supported correctly and the bending forces increase across the unsupported journal.

The crankshaft only has about 1000 kilometers on it (pistons detonated) and all journals look fine I was just wanting to remove the "stain" left on them from the bearings. I will be mic'ing each journal to verify the measurements but with that little usage and visual appeal being good I am assuming I won't find anything out of the ordinary.

CRANKSHAFT grinding & Indexing. When a crankshaft is turned to an undersize, it can and does change the stroke and degrees apart of each rod journal. To index a crank, first the machinist has to know where the stroke and degrees (swing) are. Once this is established, with the right machine to start with, the crankshaft can be indexed for both ...
