Crankshaft Deflection Indicator

Most engineers know the importance of regularly checking the rectilinear of the crankshaft on marine diesels. The usage of an indicator clock (dial gauge) was time consuming, unpleasant, dirty and yielded dubious 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 producers 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 strong 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

We offer training and rental services for this equipment.
