Connecting rods of high capacity, main and auxiliary engines are repaired by RA Power Solutions. Connecting rods during the operation of the engine are heavily stressed, transmitting power generated in the combustion chamber to the crankshaft. It is important that periodically or at the time of general overhauling, the condition of the connecting rod is checked, and either it is replaced or connecting rod is reconditioned.
RA Power Solutions has four decades of experience in reconditioning of connecting rods up to the bore size of 500 mm.
Following process is adopted for successful reconditioning of connecting rods:
- Connecting rod is subject to chemical cleaning and shot blasting after dismantling.
- The big end and small end bore of connecting rod are checked and recorded
- Connecting rod is checked for cracks and overheating by MPI or Dye penetrant test.
- The serration of the joining face connecting rod bolts are also subject to crack detection.
- Center to center distance of big end bore and small end bore is also checked.
- Straightness of connecting rod is also checked.
The connecting rod’s big end and small end are re-machined/bored on the latest design of the boring machine equipped with DRDO. All the connecting rods repaired by us are guaranteed for satisfactory performance and are 100% check for quality.
We also maintain a large stock of repaired connecting rods which are reconditioned strictly as per the manufacturer’s specifications and tolerance. Generally, the cost of a reconditioned connecting rod is ¼ of the connecting rods sold by engine manufacturers.
We maintain the stock of connecting rod for the following engines:
