Custom Forged Industrial Crankshaft Manufacturer
Please note that the crankshafts forged are not for automotive but for industrial equipment.
At Great Lakes Forge, we manufacture forged industrial crankshafts for heavy-duty equipment. Unlike crankshafts for car engines, the crankshafts we forge are engineered for industrial machinery in a range of sectors, including energy production, mining, oil & natural gas, and more. Using our open-die forging capabilities, we create custom single, double, and multi-throw industrial crankshafts and eccentric shafts with superior durability and service life.
Our extensive inventory allows us to deliver custom industrial crankshafts with some of the shortest lead times in the industry. Engineers nationwide turn to us when their regular suppliers cannot meet tight deadlines. If you need a custom crankshaft and you can't wait for your normal forging manufacturer's backlog, contact us today for a quote and expedited turnaround.
Custom Forged Industrial Crankshafts for Industrial Equipment
Custom-forged industrial crankshafts are used as specialized parts in heavy industrial equipment where the crankshafts are subject to extreme forces or pressures. For many applications, manufacturers increasingly prefer open-forged crankshafts over cast crankshafts due to their numerous performance and strength advantages. At Great Lakes Forge, we forge custom crankshafts for a wide range of heavy-duty industrial equipment. Our open-die forging method consistently produces crankshafts that meet even the most exacting specifications up to 3,000 pounds and 100" long. From compressors to pumps, we can create crankshafts for the most rugged heavy equipment.
Advantages of Open Die Forging Industrial Crankshafts
The open die forging process provides a range of benefits for industrial crankshafts. Open-forged crankshafts provide strength and reliability that far surpass any cast or turned bar stock, making these industrial crankshafts the standard for any use that demands strength, consistency, or quality. Additional advantages of our open-die forged industrial crankshafts over rough-turned bar stock include:
- Continuous grain flow
- Improved microstructure
- Finer grain size
- Reduced chance of voids
- Greater strength
- Better fatigue resistance
