ABSTRACT:
A device for aligning the shafts of adjacent driven and driver machinery units comprising a pair of congruent alignment plates connected to the coupling flange of each plate such that the axis of each shaft is normal to an identical point on each plate. A pair of centering bars positions each shaft with a coupling flange thereon in such position. Opposed keys on one plate are registered in corresponding keyways on the opposed plate by manipulation of the machinery. A gauge plate indicates any offset in the plates. Registration of the keys and superimposition of the congruent plates is achieved by machine manipulation to assure the user that an alignment in angularity and parallelism has been achieved. Bubble levels and dial indicator gauges are used in connection with the plates to enhance the alignment process.
