Crankpin Machining
Metalock Engineering Saudi Arabia brings a wealth of experience with in situ machining of crankpin and main bearing journals to the Middle East. This experience has been gained on large and small engines for marine propulsion/power and industrial power generation. More than 50 years' experience and our hard-earned reputation is your reassurance that we can help you save time and money with cost-effective on-site repairs.
Worldwide crank pin machining expertise – now in the Middle East
Our range of orbital crankpin machines and main bearing machining attachments fits all types of engine. We regularly carry out these services around the world, with our services including the following:
- Non-destructive testing (NDT) inspections (MPI and Dye Penetrant)
- Hardness testing.
- Journal fillet radii machining.
- Journal regrinding and superfinishing (to tolerances within manufacturers' specifications).
A cost-effective alternative to expensive new components
A fast, high-quality repair is often a cost-effective way to put new life into components while avoiding many of the costs associated with removal and off-site repair of engine components:
- Stripping down a damaged engine to remove the crankshaft.
- Transporting component(s) to and from a machine shop for regrinding.
- Reinstalling the crankshaft.
- Rebuilding the engine.
Reduce expensive equipment or ship downtime
Don't forget the additional costs that will be incurred while plant is out of service or a vessel is lying idle at the dockside. These can quickly amount to a large amount of money. That's when cost-effective in situ repairs really prove their worth and can make a difference to your operational profitability:
- Minimise costly downtime.
- Maximise revenue earning time.
- Avoid the need for costly component replacement.
- Extend component service life.
