ABSTRACT:
A rotational alignment device centers a shaft-mounted transducer on a rotating shaft. The alignment device includes a moveable base that is configured to receive the shaft-mounted transducer through a coupling device; a mounting base that connects to the rotating shaft; and a radial alignment assembly which connects the moveable base to the mounting base in a manner whereby the alignment error between the transducer and the rotating shaft can be corrected. The alignment error is corrected by making polar-coordinate type adjustments (i.e., correcting angular error and radial offset error) rather than traditional X-Y coordinate type adjustments.
