Crankshaft flywheel flange runout.

The crankshaft flywheel flange must be perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the crank with no permissible runout. Place a dial gauge on the bell housing and position the tip against the flywheel flange, parallel to the crank axis. (Perpendicular to the flange surface). Zero the gauge. Rotate the crank slowly by hand and watch for any movement. Any runout must be eliminated (because it will be compounded by the radius of the flywheel.)

Flywheel friction face and rim face runout.

With the flywheel now mounted to the crank, Place a dial gauge (magnetic clamp or mechanical clamp) to the bell housing and point the dial gauge perpendicular to the clutch friction face on the flywheel. Slowly rotate the crank and check for variation (runout). Maximum permissible runout is 0.01mm per 10mm of flywheel radius. Thus for a typical 300mm dia flywheel, max runout is 0.15mm (0.006"). (Runout here could cause rapid wear of the clutch splines or the driven plate breaking away from the splined hub due to continual flexing.)

Reposition the dial gauge to point at a smooth piece of the flywheel near the starter gear teeth (rim), once again parallel to the direction of the crank. Slowly rotate the crank and note any runout or warp in the flywheel. The same maximum permissible runout applies here.

Bellhousing (gearbox) runout

Repeat the exercise with the dial gauge clamped to the flywheel/clutch assembly pointing out (radially) to the bell housing locating the dial gauge point on the machined face of the bell housing that locates the gearbox. (At right angles to crank direction). Check for radial run out. Maximum permissible runout is 0.20mm or 0.008".

How do you check hose excentric by dial gauge?

To check hose eccentricity using a dial gauge, first secure the hose in a stable position and ensure it is free from any bends or kinks. Place the dial gauge on a fixed point adjacent to the hose and slowly rotate the hose while observing the gauge's reading. The gauge will indicate variations in diameter, with deviations from a consistent reading signaling eccentricity. Record the maximum and minimum readings to assess the extent of the eccentricity.


How you calculate deflection of a dial gauge of least count 01mm?

To calculate the deflection of a dial gauge with a least count of 0.01mm, you read the measurement indicated by the needle on the dial gauge after it has been set to the initial position. The deflection is the difference between the initial reading and the final reading on the dial gauge. Deflection = Final reading - Initial reading.


How can you measure by a dial gauge?

first fix the dial gauge at a zero settling level than place the object to be measured below it then move it to touch the thing when it touches mark the reading whether its +vwe or -ve then length equal to =original length+dial gauge reading *least count

How do you line up pump shaft?

To line up a pump shaft, start by ensuring that both the pump and motor are securely mounted on a stable base. Use a dial indicator or laser alignment tool to measure the alignment between the pump shaft and the motor shaft at both the vertical and horizontal planes. Adjust the position of the motor by shimming or moving it until the shafts are properly aligned within the manufacturer's specified tolerances. Finally, recheck the alignment after securing all bolts to ensure that no movement has occurred during the tightening process.

What does bourdon gauge measure?

A bourdon gauge measures fluid pressure in a system by using a curved tube that straightens in response to increased pressure. This straightening movement is typically converted into a mechanical reading on a dial, indicating the pressure level in the system.
