EMAG CRANKSHAFT GRINDING MACHINES More than just machines - systems designed by EMAG experts

AUTOMOTIVE CRANKSHAFTS Automotive crankshafts come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and manufacturing types.

Starting from small 0.8 liter two-cylinder engines and the conventional four-cylinder engine used in mid-range models, to large twelve-cylinder engines.

The majority of these crankshafts are either cast or forged, with cast versions being particularly popular for large quantities and low performance engines.

Forged crankshafts and even assembled crankshafts made of stainless steel are primarily used in the premium sector as a result of their higher vibration resistance and generally higher load capacity.

PRODUCTIVE GRINDING OF AUTOMOTIVE CRANKSHAFTS This example shows the productive machining configuration of an automotive crankshaft in three operations.

In OP 80, the main and pin bearings are pre-ground by a PMD 2, a crankshaft grinding machine with two grinding spindles. The finish grinding of the main and pin bearings takes place in OP 90 on a second PMD 2.

ADDITIONAL B-AXIS FOR INCREASED FLEXIBILITY To make the machines process design as flexible as possible, the PMD series can also be equipped with one or two B-axes in the compound slide. This makes it possible for additional operations such as grinding the gear seat, flange, journal, and shoulders or pre-grinding and finish grinding can all be performed in single clamping operation.

CRANKSHAFTS FOR SMALL ENGINES Scooters, lawnmowers, or generators generally have single- or two-cylinder engines.

Probably the most well known and best-selling model of this type of engine is the 50Â cc two-stroke internal combustion engine, which is featured in millions of motorcycles.

Almost all of the miniature tractors and lawnmowers available on the market also feature single-cylinder engines. The more powerful models use engines with a displacement of up to two liters, which can develop up to 75Â bhp.

COMPLETE MACHINING IN A SINGLE CLAMPING OPERATION Standard configuration of the machining area Two cross slides with grinding spindles for the external grinding of the main and pin bearings Headstock with chuck for clamping on the external diameter Tailstock with center point

The machine has been equiped with two headstocks for the complete machining of a crankshaft in a single clamping operation.

This allows the alternate clamping of the crankshaft on the flange and on the journal side. Both chucks with retractable jaws and a face driver are used for this purpose.

TRUCK CRANKSHAFTS Truck crankshafts are designed to provide high performance at low speeds.

Trucks have five or six-cylinder engines with a displacement of 7 – 13 liters (2 - 3 gal). In the higher performance classes, they may even have a displacement of up to 16 liters (4 gal) and eight cylinders.

The high forces that act on the crankshaft, combined with the long service life expected from truck engines, make the production of these components particularly demanding. This component is not just challenging as a result of its dimensions and weight but also due to the high level of precision required for grinding the crankshaft. EMAG’s PM Series delivers a range of benefits in this respect.

MACHINING TRUCK CRANKSHAFTS WITH THE PM 320 / PMD 320 A wide range of machine versions can be configured with the modular machine system of the PM 320 / PMD 320 to fit the manufacturing task.

Whether it is grinding of the main and pin bearing on the same machine in a single clamping or on separate machines using the traditional method, depends on the production requirements.

CRANKSHAFTS FOR SHIP ENGINES Shafts for ship diesel engines are a little bit larger than crankshafts for trucks.

Crankshafts, which are typically ground on EMAG PM Series machines, are used in yachts, ferries, or even cargo ships. Ship engines, and therefore the crankshafts, are also intended for high performance at low speeds and require high precision in the production process, just like truck crankshafts.

MACHINING LARGE CRANKSHAFTS WITH THE PM 430/PM 460/PM 480 The PM 4 Series is equiped with linear motors and hydrostatic guideways in the X- and Z-axes, which ensures maximum dynamics and excellent grinding results.

The main and pin bearings are ground in a single clamping operation using conventional aluminum oxide or CBN grinding wheels.

This ensures high productivity and flexibility, allowing grinding processes that are fully automatic, semi-automatic, or manual. The workpiece is driven on both sides by face driver or hydraulic chucks, depending on the task, and the workpiece spindle has a direct drive in the form of a torque motor. The grinding spindle itself is a motor spindle. If a higher torque is required, a separate motor with a belt transmission is available. The large automatic front doors, which provide excellent access to the machining area, and the easy-to-use control interface ensure highly productive manufacturing and fast workpiece changes.
