Electronic Crankshaft Deflection Indicators for Optimized Engine Performance

Crankshaft deflection measurement is crucial for maintaining engine performance and longevity. The crankshaft plays a vital role in converting engine power into rotational motion, and any deflection—such as bending or distortion—can misalign components like pistons, bearings, and connecting rods. This misalignment leads to uneven wear, reduced performance, and inefficient power delivery. Regular deflection checks help optimize engine performance, prevent failures, and extend its lifespan.

LEMAG DI-5: The Easy-to-Use Crankshaft Deflection Indicator

The LEMAG Electronic Crankshaft Deflection Indicator (DI-5) simplifies deflection checks, replacing the time-consuming and risky mechanical micrometer dial. Designed for regular use, it helps detect potential issues early, preventing costly engine repairs.

The DI-5 can easily be upgraded to the DI-5C (detailed below), eliminating the need to purchase a new device. The upgraded version includes a data interface for easy transfer to a computer. Additionally, the DI-5 can be paired with an ovality kit to measure cylinder liner ovality and monitor wear for diameters between 180 mm and 600 mm, with stroke lengths up to 870 mm.

Key Features:

  • Wide measuring range
  • Invar alloy extension bars to minimize heat expansion
  • Backlit display
  • Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries
  • Complete set with transducer, cable, extension bars, and case

LEMAG DI-5C: Advanced Crankshaft Deflection Indicator

The LEMAG DI-5C represents the latest advancement in crankshaft deflection measurement. With a built-in microprocessor, it allows users to print and download measurement results. The device features invar alloy extension bars for minimal heat expansion and a robust instrument case for easy storage.

Key Features:

  • Large measuring range
  • Stores up to 53 cylinder reports (up to 24 cylinders per engine)
  • Invar alloy extension bars for minimal heat expansion
  • Includes ovality kit to measure cylinder wear
  • Data printing and downloading capabilities to a PC

Scope of Supply:

  • LEMAG DI-5C deflection indicator with transducer and extension bars
  • Interface cable and software
  • Calibration certificate
  • Durable instrument case
  • Ready-to-use package with rechargeable batteries

Ovality Kit (Optional)

The ovality kit measures cylinder liner wear and ovality. The standard kit supports measurements for diameters from 180 mm to 600 mm and stroke lengths up to 870 mm. Larger ovality kits are available upon request.
