A worn or damaged crankshaft can bring even the most powerful diesel engine to a standstill. In Africa’s power plants, marine vessels, refineries, and mining operations, crankshaft reconditioning is a cost-effective, precise solution that restores engine integrity—without the expense of full replacement.
At Panesar Crankshaft Centre, we offer expert crankshaft reconditioning services across Africa, ensuring your engines return to peak performance quickly and reliably.
What Is Crankshaft Reconditioning?
Crankshaft reconditioning involves a series of inspection, machining, grinding, polishing, and alignment processes that restore the crankshaft’s critical surfaces to manufacturer specifications.
This service can be applied to:
- Crankpins (big end journals)
- Main journals
- Keyways and fillets
- Flange faces and bolt holes
- Surface cracks and heat spots
When Is Crankshaft Reconditioning Needed?
- Scoring or wear from bearing failure
- Journal taper or ovality
- Misalignment or excessive runout
- Surface cracks from overload or seizure
- Heat discoloration or hard spots
Prompt reconditioning can prevent further damage to bearings, connecting rods, and engine blocks—saving major repair costs down the line.
