The fourth connecting plate 608 can bring the measuring contact of the dial indicator 2 into contact with the surface of the crankshaft main journal or connecting rod journal. Then, the third motor 504 is started by 8. The third motor 504 can drive the rotating shaft 502 to rotate. Under the action of the first gear 501 and the second gear 503, the rotating shaft 502 can drive the connecting cylinder 402 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting cylinder 402 drives the crankshaft to rotate. Observe the swing of the pointer of the dial indicator 2. The difference between the maximum and minimum values ​​of the pointer swing is the radial runout error of the crankshaft, that is, the degree of crankshaft bending deformation.

[0042] The sixth motor 610 is started by motor 8. The sixth motor 610 can drive the fourth threaded rod 604 to rotate. The rotation of the fourth threaded rod 604 can drive the third connecting plate 605 to move. The movement of the third connecting plate 605 can drive the support column 606 to move.
