Ellwood National Crankshaft is a unique manufacturer of new and reconditioned crankshafts for
medium speed engines in the 800 to 6000 horsepower range. These engines are used in a variety of applications including diesel‐electric locomotives, marine use for propulsion and auxiliary power generation, stationary power, and gas compression. ENC has been a crankshaft supplier to leading engine manufacturers throughout the world since 1915. ENC regularly produces crankshafts that are approved by ABS, Lloyd's, DNV and other third party inspection entities, and has a quality program focusing on continuous improvement. The ample size of our installed capital base offers production capacities that can meet the fluctuating volume demands of the market.
ENC offers finish machined, rough machined and as‐forged crankshafts. Our unique forging process results in outstanding near‐finished size crankshafts. Surface hardening specifications can be met by onsite nitriding or induction hardening installations. Our CNC grinding and surface finish capability will meet the most demanding customer requirements.
Our Loewy, 4000‐ton multi‐directional forging press is used primarily to produce continuous grain flow crankshafts. It also has the capability of forging components through upsetting, back extrusion, and offsetting to nearly‐finished shape.
Extensive heat treating facilities allow for thermal stress relieving, annealing, normalizing, hardening, and tempering. Vertical and horizontal furnaces are used along with the necessary oil, water, and polymer quench tanks.
