M/T Mainshaft Inspection

  1. Inspect the runout by supporting both ends of the mainshaft. Then rotate the mainshaft two complete turns while measuring with a dial gauge. If the runout is more than the service limit, replace the mainshaft.
    Standard:
    0.02 mm (0.001 in.) max.
    Service Limit:
    0.05 mm (0.002 in.)
