TECHNICAL INFORMATION
To ensure stable mounting of the chain-type bracket, it must be possible to securely brace the chain around the cir-
cumference of the shaft/coupling. Here, the length of the chain and - for large diameters - the body are essential.

The LBB 3-point carrier replaces the standard rotation frame carrier (ALI 3.299) in the Tops-on configuration, when
the third telescopic arm must be mounted to the upper bearing shell.
This adapter replaces the standard rotation frame in the LBB when measuring smaller bores (> 120 mm).

This sensor rotation frame has a longer axis of rotation than the standard frame and thus offers a larger adjustment
range in the axial direction.
The CENTRALIGN mounting bridge is used as holder for the laser and control sensor during turbine measurements.
It can be easily adjusted to the diameters and mounting bores on the turbine shell.
