A small transducer
located within the body of the adjustable measuring
head detects and measures any minute deflections occurring
within the webs of the crankshaft. Magnets on the live
centers of the adjustable measuring head ensure that
it rotates along with the points in which it sits. Therefore,
any errors due to shift in any center position are eliminated.
When either one of
the light-emitting diodes (LED) on the measuring head
is ON, it means the adjustable measuring head is not
properly adjusted between the 'throws' or 'webs' of
the crankshaft, and they will only extinguish when the
head is properly adjusted. The Angle Encoder is designed
to be attached to the crankshaft or the flywheel so
that it rotates with the crankshaft in order to provide
an angle of reference for each of the measurements.
The Web Deflection system provides a steady stream of
of data through its 9-pin connector output, which is
captured, stored and analyzed by the WebMap2® software
once the proper number of measurements are performed.
ADVANTAGES:
§ Portable, sturdy and easily
assembled
§ Easy and accurate measurements
of web deflection with no guesswork
§ Quick analysis of measurements to define corrections
