FAQs

  • PRODUCT

The CrankSense gauge is powered by two separate batteries. A Coin SR44 battery for the digital dial and a rechargeable Li-Po battery for the Bluetooth transmitter. Once fully charged, the Bluetooth transmitter provides up to 30 hours of continuous operation. The Bluetooth transmitter is easily recharged via the MicroUSB port located on the back of the gauge.

For any gauge including CrankSense, we recommend annual calibration of the device. The requirements can vary depending on your company’s internal quality control/ inspection policy.

For a new Cranksense kit, you need to add a calibration certificate to your order. The certificate can be added by visiting the following link and selecting ‘Manufacturer Calibration Wireless Crankshaft Deflection Gauge’ from the dropdown menu: Add Calibration Certificate

If you already have a CrankSense gauge and need calibration, contact us at info@motionics.com for more information.

Calibration of a CrankSense gauge will usually take 2-3 days after we receive the unit.

We are able to create custom web distance ranges for most industrial applications. Contact us for more information.
