Indikon Introduces New

Web Deflection Indicator —Literature Available

A new series of battery-oper- ated, digital web deflection indica- tors is now available from Indikon

Corporation of Cambridge, Mass.

The Indikon 4000 Series indica- tors feature bearing-mounted, live centers providing deflection read- ings over a plus or minus 20 mils range on diesel engines, pumps, and reciprocating compressors.

Easy to operate, the system uses a measuring head placed in the crankshaft opening, connected by cable to a digital indicator outside the machine housing. The digital readout provides an indication of web deflection and of crank angle as the crankshaft is rotated.

The Indikon system permits measurements to be taken while the machine is hot. Measuring spans from 3.75 to 24.5 inches are available; the crank angle meas- urement encompasses 300 degrees of rotation. Metric versions are also offered.
