Differential Journal Inspection

1.  Measure the inner diameter of the journal (front side) shown in the figure.

Note

•  When measuring, measure near the center of the journal avoiding the oil groove, and then calculate the average value of the X and Y directions as shown in the figure.

•  Recommended measuring instrument: Cylinder gauge or caliper gauge

2.  Measure the inner diameter of the journal (rear side) shown in the figure.

Note

•  When measuring, measure near the center of the journal avoiding the oil groove, and then calculate the average value of the X and Y directions as shown in the figure.

•  Recommended measuring instrument: Cylinder gauge or caliper gauge
