Applications : Crankshaft
Crankshafts transmit power from an engine to the driven output device. They typically consist of multiple bearing surfaces offset from the main axis of rotation. The offset bearings are then coupled to motor pistons, allowing the reciprocating piston motion to be translated in the rotary motion of the crankshaft. Machining and subsequent heat treating, to achieve desired hardness characteristics, cause these shafts to distort from their true axis of rotation. Straightening at the main bearing journals must be done prior to finish grinding of those surfaces.
Our straightening technologies provide both manual and fully automated solutions for straightening these parts.
