Re-condition of the Crankshaft / Engine model: DG 5DK20

Re-condition of the Crankshaft.

This process involves several critical steps: removing the piston and connecting rod bearing, grinding and polishing the crankpin, measuring parameters after grinding and polishing, polishing the connecting rod bearing, checking the hardness of the crankshaft, and ensuring smoothness between the crankpin and connecting rod bearing

.

Removing Piston and Connecting Rod Bearing

The first step in the overhaul process is to remove the piston and connecting rod bearing. At Hai Ha M&S, this is done with great care to avoid any damage to the components. The piston is disconnected from the connecting rod, and then the connecting rod bearing is unbolted and removed from the crankshaft using specialized tools. Ensuring that all tools are clean and appropriate for the task is crucial to maintaining the integrity of the components.

Grinding and Polishing the Crankpin

Once the piston and connecting rod bearing are removed, the next step is to grind and polish the crankpin. This step is critical to ensure the crankpin is smooth and free of imperfections. Using a precision grinder, any surface irregularities are removed, and the desired crankpin diameter is achieved. The crankpin is then polished with fine abrasive materials to obtain a smooth, mirror-like finish. This meticulous grinding and polishing process is essential for the performance and longevity of the crankshaft.

Measuring Parameters After Grinding and Polishing

After grinding and polishing, it is vital to measure the parameters of the crankpin to ensure they meet the required specifications. A micrometer is used to measure the crankpin diameter at multiple points, and specialized gauges check for roundness and taper. Accurate measurements are critical to confirm that the crankpin is within acceptable ranges and ready for reassembly. This step ensures that the crankpin has been properly machined and polished to precise standards.

Polishing the Connecting Rod Bearing

The next step is to polish the connecting rod bearing to ensure it has a smooth surface for proper interfacing with the crankpin. The bearing surface is thoroughly cleaned before polishing, and fine abrasive materials are used to polish the bearing, ensuring it is smooth and free of any rough spots. This polishing process is crucial for the smooth operation of the engine, as it minimizes friction and wear between the bearing and crankpin.

Checking the Hardness of the Crankshaft

Checking the hardness of the crankshaft is a vital step to ensure it falls within the specified range. Hardness testers are used to evaluate the crankshaft at various points, and the recorded hardness values are compared with the manufacturer’s specifications. This step ensures the crankshaft can withstand the stresses of engine operation. Ensuring proper hardness is critical for the durability and performance of the crankshaft under operational loads.

Ensuring Smoothness Between Crankpin and Connecting Rod Bearing

The final step in the overhaul process is to ensure smoothness between the crankpin and the connecting rod bearing. The connecting rod bearing is assembled onto the crankpin, and its movement is checked to ensure smooth rotation without any rough spots or binding. This step is crucial for the proper fit and function of the crankshaft assembly, guaranteeing optimal engine performance. Proper smoothness ensures that the engine runs efficiently and reduces the risk of premature wear.

The crankshaft re-condition process for the DG 5DK20 by Hai Ha M&S includes removing the piston and connecting rod bearing, grinding and polishing the crankpin, measuring parameters after grinding and polishing, polishing the connecting rod bearing, checking the hardness of the crankshaft, and ensuring smoothness between the crankpin and connecting rod bearing. Each step is performed with high precision and care to ensure the optimal operation and extended lifespan of the engine. Proper maintenance and overhaul by Hai Ha M&S ensure the reliability and efficiency of the DG 5DK20 engine, contributing to its long-term performance and durability.
