    Ideal test indicator pushed. Prior to modern geared dial mechanisms, test indicators using a single lever or systems of levers were common. The range and precision of these devices were generally inferior to modern dial type units, with a range of 10/1000 inch to 30/1000 inch, and precision of 1/1000 inch being typical.

  7. Crankshaft position sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankshaft_position_sensor

    A bad crank position sensor can worsen the way the engine idles, or the acceleration behaviour. If the engine is revved up with a bad or faulty sensor, it may cause misfiring, motor vibration or backfires. Acceleration might be hesitant, and abnormal shaking during engine idle might occur. In the worst case, the car may not start.

    Depending on the application, the accuracy of the tilt sensor must be adapted to the sensitivity of the object it is intended to monitor. Indeed, they can indicate precisely the level of inclination with a digital dial ( as for the inclination sensors on some vehicles) or simply have an indicator that changes color when an inclination beyond ...
