FEATURES OF CRANKSHAFT WEB DEFLECTION GAUGE
Every gauge carries a calibration certificate giving actual values
Crankshaft Gauge measures the Web deflection of a crankshaft
The BAKER Crankshaft Gauge is developed to identify and avoid the problems mentioned above
The Gauge covers web-to-web distance of 60-600 mm
Supplied in a sleek wooden box
Gauge contacts are pointed & fit into dimples in the webs. A heavy spring pressure ensures that the Gauge is restrained but is free to turn in relation to the crankshaft. An adjustable balance weight restrains the Gauge against rotation of the crankshaft, so that the dial always faces the inspector
