Dial-Indicator Shaft Alignment Chain Clamp Kits
Find misalignment across adjacent shafts—these clamps position a dial indicator on each shaft to locate offset or angular misalignment in both the horizontal and vertical axes.
Continuous dials are numbered clockwise around the face for direct measurement. Balanced dials are more versatile than continuous dials because they help detect misalignment in both directions. They have a center zero with positive values on one side and negative values on the other.
Back plungers take up less space in your set up because their plunger sits flush against the shaft. They mount in multiple orientations to fit in a variety of set ups. Bottom plungers are oriented best to detect vertical misalignment. They’re also mountable and allow you to see the shaft and dial indicator at the same time, giving you accurate readings.

Proximity-Sensor Shaft Alignment Kits
Align rotary shafts with the help of a mobile app. These sensor kits are more accurate than straightedges and easier to use than dial indicators. Properly aligning shafts reduces vibration and protects couplings, bearings, and other parts from wear and damage.
Use the included chain clamps to mount these sensors above your coupling, where they detect the degree of misalignment between the shafts. The app shows live animations to give step-by-step instructions for repositioning your equipment. Once the shafts are aligned, the app saves a report documenting the process.
Good for extended use in industrial environments, these sensors last up to 18 hours between charges and are IP54 rated for protection from dust.
They cannot be sold to the listed areas due to energy efficiency regulations.
