Abstract
An apparatus and method are provided for roll hardening of crankshafts having split-pin bearings without requiring multiple rolling stages or operations therefor. The apparatus and method herein utilize a single tool unit that varies the rolling pressure on the fillets on either side of one of the split-pin bearings such that the areas needing strengthening are simultaneously rolled with a higher pressure than those areas at which bending of fence walls between adjacent bearings can occur with high pressure rolling, despite their arcuately offset orientation relative to each other. The tool unit has a pair of rollers rotatively housed at predetermined positions so that, when engaged against the opposite fillets of a bearing, they will be at arcuately offset or spaced positions from each other about the bearing.
