Crankshaft Grinding

What is Crankshaft Grinding?
Crankshaft grinding is a precise machining process used to restore a worn or damaged crankshaft to its original specifications. The crankshaft is placed on a specialized grinder that removes material from its journals (the smooth, rounded surfaces where connecting rods and main bearings rotate), ensuring they are perfectly round and aligned.

This process typically involves:

• Measuring the crankshaft to assess wear or damage

• Grinding the journals to an undersized dimension using precision machinery

• Polishing the surfaces for smooth rotation

• Rebalancing the crankshaft if needed

Why It’s Important in Engine Remanufacturing:

1. Restores Performance: A properly ground crankshaft ensures that engine components move smoothly, maintaining correct timing and power delivery.

2. Prevents Premature Failure: Grinding removes surface irregularities, cracks, or scoring that could lead to bearing wear or engine failure.

3. Improves Lubrication: Uniform surfaces help maintain oil films between moving parts, reducing friction and heat.

4. Extends Engine Life: A reconditioned crankshaft helps remanufactured engines run reliably, often as good as — or better than — new.

5. Cost-Efficient: Instead of replacing the entire crankshaft, grinding allows the reuse of the original part, saving money and resources.
