Crankshaft Deflection Gauge

features of a Crankshaft Deflection Gauge:

• High Precision Measurement: Designed to accurately measure crankshaft deflection with fine resolution, ensuring engine alignment integrity.

• Dial Indicator or Digital Display: Available with a high-resolution dial or digital indicator for easy and accurate readings.

• Robust Construction: Made from hardened steel or alloy materials for durability in workshop and marine engine environments.

• Flexible Arms & Joints: Adjustable arms and swivel joints allow precise positioning across various crankshaft configurations.

• Easy to Use: Simple setup and operation, suitable for both in-situ and bench applications.

• Magnetic Base Option: Often equipped with a magnetic base or clamp for stable mounting during measurement.

• Versatile Range: Compatible with a wide range of engine sizes and crankshaft designs.

• Corrosion-Resistant Finish: Protected against rust and wear for long-term use in harsh conditions.

• Compact & Portable: Lightweight design for easy transport and field service use.

• Repeatable Results: Designed for consistent, repeatable readings, essential for maintenance and diagnostics.

Application of uses : 

• Marine Engine Maintenance: Used to measure crankshaft deflection in large marine diesel engines to ensure proper alignment and prevent wear or failure.

• Power Plant Engines: Applied in power generation facilities to monitor crankshaft straightness and detect misalignment.

• Locomotive & Industrial Engines: Essential for checking deflection in heavy-duty locomotive and stationary engines during maintenance and overhauls.

• Engine Rebuilding: Helps in precision alignment checks during engine assembly and rebuilding processes.

• Preventive Maintenance: Allows technicians to detect early signs of crankshaft bending or bearing wear, avoiding major breakdowns.

• In-Situ Measurement: Enables on-site deflection measurement without dismantling the crankshaft, saving time and labor.

• Diagnostic Tool: Used as a diagnostic instrument in workshops and service stations to investigate vibration or noise issues related to crankshaft misalignment.

• Quality Control: Deployed in manufacturing units to ensure crankshafts meet alignment standards before dispatch.
