CRANKSHAFT DISTORTION DIAL/STRAIN GAGE 2.3/8" - 18" L.696, 696M 61 - 458mm ● STAND & INDICATOR SETS ● INDIVIDUAL STANDS Ideal gage for checking bearing alignment or shaft deflection without dismantling the engine. Also useful as a strain gage on engine frames. This inside measuring gage checks the distortion of crankshaft webs and bears a direct relation to existing misalignment or excessive bearing wear. Used on all diesel engine shafts and center crankshafts on any type of engine or compressor, the gage can also be applied as a strain gage on engine frames while the engine is operating. A comparison of readings taken at top and bottom positions indicates any misalignment of cylinder and frame which results in local over-stress and eventual cracking of the frame neck. With a special spring tension in the dial indicator, the gage is self-sustaining in any position without sacrificing necessary rigidity, leaving the operator's hands free. Hardened and ground to a sharp point, conical contact points have an approximate 60º included angle, and will stay in place on 45º surfaces. These versatile stands allow the indicator to be positioned at any height within the capacity of the upright base post 360º both horizontally and vertically. A special feature of this tool is the sensitive, fine-adjustment at the end of the gage rod. The fine-adjustment range is approximately 1/4". Available with special non-shock mechanism or without indicator. Any Starrett AGD Dial or Electronic Indicator can be interchanged with indicators listed. Please specify when ordering. Both gages have a maximum vertical capacity of 9.1/4" (235mm) and a throat depth of 5" (125mm) and a vertical indicator fine adjustment of up to 1/2" (12.7mm). Post diameter is 1.1/2". The dial indicator can be adjusted vertically and locked in any position. A sliding ring with locking screw below the beam permits swinging the indicator to either side. The ring also acts as a safety device, preventing the beam from accidentally dropping. There is a fine adjustment on the beam for final indicator setting. The hand lifting lever on the indicator raises the spindle and releases it to contact the work. Left hand lever furnished unless otherwise specified. 653 Dial Comparator has a precision ground cast iron base measuring approximately 8" x 9" (200 x 225mm). 653G Dial Comparator has a Starrett Grade A, Crystal Pink® Granite base, measuring 8" x 12" x 2" (200 x 300 x 50mm). Base is finished to an overall tolerance of .0001" (0.0025mm). No. 675G set has a grade A, Crystal Pink Granite base, 8" x 12" x 2", finished to an overall tolerance of .0001" (0.0025mm). Its 3/4" x 9.7/8" upright base post provides maximum ridigity for the entire indicator assembly. Gage furnished with 10 rods, sharp points and balancing attachment in attractive, protective case. SHAFT ALIGNMENT CLAMP SETS The Starrett Shaft Alignment Clamp is designed for fast, precise alignment of motors, pumps, compressors, etc. This system is capable of addressing radial and angular misalignment problems and can be set up within minutes. Features ● Lightweight clamp design made of black anodized aluminum ● Rigid 3/8” diameter stainless steel indicator posts provided in three lengths (5”, 7.7/16”, and 9”) ● Extension plate allows for added radial clearance ● Heavy-duty roller chain can accommodate up to a 7.1/2” diameter shaft ● Sets are available with either two Starrett Nos. 196B5 or 81-141J Indicators ● Excess roller chain can be secured to the side of the chain clamp ● A second shaft alignment clamp can be mounted across from the first clamp to act as a vertical “target” for face alignment Shown above: No. S668DZ No. S668CZ mounted on coupling 696 and 696M Crankshaft Distortion Dial/Strain Gages CAT.
