A worn or damaged crankshaft can bring vital engines to a halt. In Africa’s demanding power, marine, and industrial environments, crankshaft grinding is the go-to solution for restoring performance, extending engine life, and avoiding costly replacements.
At Panesar Crankshaft Centre, we offer precision crankshaft grinding services across Africa, supporting industries that depend on reliable rotating machinery.
What Is Crankshaft Grinding?
Crankshaft grinding is a machining process that restores the crankshaft’s journal surfaces—main journals and crankpins—to exact manufacturer tolerances. It removes wear, deformation, and surface damage caused by:
- Bearing failures
- Overheating or oil starvation
- Scoring, taper, or ovality
- Vibration and imbalance
The journals are ground to precise undersize dimensions and finished with a polished surface suitable for new bearings.
Where Crankshaft Grinding Is Used
We grind crankshafts for:
- Diesel and gas engines
- Marine propulsion and auxiliary engines
- Power generation gensets
- Mining, cement, and construction equipment
- Oil & gas engines and compressors
Whether it’s a large ship engine or a backup power unit in a remote region, we bring OEM-level crankshaft grinding services directly to our African clients.
