Crankshaft Deflection Indicator

Most engineers know the importance of regularly

checking the linear deflection of the crankshaft on 

large diesels. The usage of an indicator (dial gauge)

Is  time consuming, unpleasant, dirty and yielded

questionable measurement results. As a consequence,

these checks were made less and less frequently,

which increased the risk of an engine breakdown.

The introduction of the electronic deflection indicator

has made the task simpler and more effective and the

measurement results more accurate.


The deflection indicator DI-5 has been used by a large number

of engineers in more than 60 countries. Easy to use, extremely

reliable and accurate measurements have made the DI-5 very

popular. Many engine manufacturers use the DI-5 to keep their own production in check.


DI-5 is a complete unit with a battery driven digital instrument  and a transducer with extension bars. The product is kept in a sturdy wooden case. Thanks to its simplicity, the DI-5 is used whenever a need for measuring arises and it detects the errors that might otherwise have led to costly repairs.


Advantages and features are as follows:

Safe and simple to use

Easy to fit

Large measuring distance

Large measuring range

Invar alloy extension bars minimize expansion

Easy to zero balance

Backlight function

Auto switch-off after 45 minutes at rest

Battery symbol indicates the need for battery charge
