ABSTRACT:
A coupling alignment system for use in aligning coupled, rotatable shaft members. The system includes coupling hubs mounted on the opposed shafts and modified to receive bracket members. A pivotally mounted beam extends from one bracket member to the opposite bracket member or coupling hub, and a measurement indicator, mounted on the bracket member, registers the degree of deflection of the beam relative to the bracket or hub on the opposite side. No shaft access is required, since the brackets are secured directly to the coupling hubs, and the measurement indicator mass is firmly supported by the bracket, minimizing indicator sag. The present system includes angular, radial, and axial bracket mounting embodiments, the system, thereby, greatly facilitating alignment procedures in the field.
