In the engine world, precision is everything. A crankshaft’s surface finish plays a vital role in the lubrication and smooth operation of internal combustion engines. Across Africa’s power generation, marine, oil & gas, and industrial sectors, crankshaft grinding and polishing is an essential service that restores journal geometry, eliminates damage, and ensures optimal bearing contact.
At Panesar Crankshaft Centre, we offer specialized crankshaft grinding and polishing services across Africa, helping clients protect their engines and avoid expensive downtime.
Why Grinding and Polishing Go Hand-in-Hand
- Grinding removes material to restore proper roundness, diameter, taper, and journal alignment.
- Polishing follows grinding to achieve a mirror-smooth surface finish that enhances bearing performance and oil retention.
Together, these processes restore crankshaft journals to OEM standards, improving efficiency, reliability, and durability.
Common Issues That Require Grinding and Polishing
- Journal scoring due to bearing failure
- Heat spots, hardening, or blueing
- Ovality or taper from long-term wear
- Minor surface cracks and pitting
- Vibration or noise from imbalance
These issues—if ignored—can result in severe engine failure. Our grinding and polishing services bring the crankshaft back to full working condition.
Our Capabilities
- Onsite (in situ) crankshaft grinding and polishing
- Workshop-based services for crankshafts of all sizes
- Grinding of crankpins and main journals to undersize tolerances
- Polishing with emery belts or micron-rated abrasives
- Tolerance checks, hardness testing, and crack inspection

Why It Matters in Africa
Engines in Africa often operate under extreme load, high temperatures, and inconsistent maintenance cycles. Crankshaft grinding and polishing extends the life of these critical components without the high cost and lead time of replacements.
