The E950-A above is primarily designed for diesel engines (crank and camshaft bearing pocket alignment), but also for gearboxes and compressors. This system builds on the industry-leading D series instruments but now with wireless detectors and versatile brackets. See the unique "gokart" type brackets above. I have used it myself and these brackets make the movement in the bore of the detector very easy.
The E950-B is in the same family, but designed for propeller shaft installations on ships with stern tubes, support bearings, bearboxes and engines.
The E950-B differs from its E950-A family member with a self-centering detector bracket which gives a range of diameters to be handled between 100 and 500mm.
I like the addition of 2 additional calculation methods "best fit around zero" and "waviness" to be done on existing data. An additional application program, Ovality check, allows one to calculate wear rates. We also have a Shipping Applications Guide in PDF and it provides step-by-step examples in how to use the equipment in different shipping applications.
More detailed information on these 2 systems are available here.
These Bore Alignment systems can also be expanded for shaft alignment and they build on the very popular E710 platform. By choosing the correct shaft accessories, the complete machine train and foundations can be checked. The shaft programs are already loaded into the system, so no extra costs from us.
More information on the E710 can be seen here.
