1.

Normal for all crank throws.

2.

Permissible for the foremost crank throw, when the crankshaft fore end is provided
with a torsional vibration damper, tuning wheel or directly coupled to a generator rotor.
Permissible for the aftmost crank throw, when the crankshaft aft end is provided with a
flexible coupling.

When judging the alignment on the above limiting-value' basis, make sure that the
crankshaft is actually supported in the adjacent bearings. (See Alignment of Main
Bearings point 2.3 floating journals).
