New Carrier 5H60 Compressor Crankshaft

New Replacement Crankshaft for Carrier 5H60 Reciprocating Compressor

The Carrier/Carlyle 5H series is an open-drive, multi-cylinder design, well known for its tough serviceability in marine engineering. This new crankshaft is the backbone of the internal drive group, smoothly converting rotational energy over 6 cylinders ($3 + 3$ bank arrangement). This factory new unit replaces a scored or out-of-round shaft used in commercial shipping, offshore platforms, or onshore industrial cold storage, returning original volumetric efficiency while ensuring smooth shaft seal tracking.

The perfection of your vessel’s provision refrigeration or cargo hold air conditioning is best optimised through component perfection. This brand new, precision constructed Carrier 5H60 Compressor Crankshaft is built to survive the harsh environment of constant, heavy load maritime and industrial applications. This open drive crankshaft is precision engineered to exacting technical standards for dynamic rotational balance, minimising vibration and enhancing the structural longevity of your connecting rods and main bearings.

Applications of Crank shaft for CARRIER 5H60 Compressor

1. Marine Air Conditioning & Provision Plants Deep sea cargo vessels, tankers, bulk carriers and cruise liners using Carlyle/Carrier 5H60 systems.
2. Industrial Cold Storage Systems: Processing plants that require medium-to-low temperature control utilising R22, R404A, or R507 refrigerant.
3. Offshore Oil & Gas Platforms Rig ventilation systems require explosive-safe, reliable open-drive belt or direct-coupled compressor modules.

Our Engineer Expert’s Guide and Tips:

Overhauling a 5H-series open-drive compressor inside a tight shipboard engine room requires strict mechanical cleanliness. A crankshaft failure rarely happens in isolation; it is usually the result of liquid slugging or oil starvation.

Pro Tips for the Perfect Crankshaft Bedding:

1. Check the Line Bore: Before lowering this new crankshaft into the crankcase, check the alignment of the pump end and seal end main bearings. Always replace the thrust washers (Steel: 5H401072, Bronze: 5H401062) along with the shaft.
2. Clear the Oil Pickup: Residual metal flakes from a previous shaft scoring event will settle in the oil sump. Completely remove the bottom handhole covers, pull the oil screen package (5H40237), and flush out the oil pump housing.
3. Shaft Seal Centering: When installing the shaft seal cover plate, torque the capscrews in a cross pattern to Carrier’s specified torque values. Any slight angular misalignment of the seal cover will cause premature face wear on your new shaft.
4. Pre-Lubrication: Do not start the compressor dry. Pump oil into the pressure register or manually rotate the shaft 15–20 revolutions before coupling the motor to ensure the oil passages are completely primed.
