Choosing The Right Crankshaft For The Job
There’s a lot to consider when choosing the right DESCH product for your specific application.
Application Requirements
The crankshaft must be designed around the mechanical requirements of the machine.
Key factors to assess include:
- Shaft and crank-pin dimensions
- Installation and envelope constraints
- Required stroke and throw
Component Design
Can be produced according to individual drawings and design requirements.
When defining the component, consider:
- Overall crankshaft length
- Crankshaft radius
- Crank-pin position and diameter
- Bearing and journal dimensions
Production Requirements
Production quantities and component complexity can be matched to the appropriate machining process and equipment.
Our manufacturing capabilities include:
- Precision turning
- Mill-turn machining
- Grinding
Maintain For Longevity
While DESCH products are engineered for long-term performance, appropriate maintenance helps protect reliability, extend service life, and prevent avoidable downtime.
- Manufacture the crankshaft according to the approved customer drawing and specifications
- Verify critical dimensions, journals and crank-pin geometry during inspection
- Follow the recommended installation and alignment procedures
- Monitor bearings, journals and other associated components for wear
- Address abnormal vibration, noise or changes in operating performance promptly
