ABSTRACT:
The specification discloses apparatus for aligning stationary in-line machine shafts. In a preferred embodiment, the invention provides an alignment system having a sensed point rotatably positionable around a shaft for rotation through a plurality of angular positions around the shaft to provide a reference point against which misalignment is measured. The position of the sensed point is sensed by a sensor which is rotatably positionable around the shaft independently of the sensed point for rotation through a plurality of angular positions about the shaft.
