No re-measurement is required
with this shaft-alignment tool
The EVO (photo) is an all-digital
shaft-alignment tool with an adaptive
user interface, which shows
how a misaligned machine must
be moved vertically or horizontally
by adding or removing shims at the
machine's feet. The EVO requires
no re-measurements in between
horizontal and vertical adjustments
during the alignment process. The
horizontal adjustment is carried
out with real values displayed during
the entire process. The units are
fitted with a 30-mm charge-coupleddevice
(CCD) detector that enables
accuracy and precision in measurements.
The EVO is compact - it can
be held in one hand - and simple
to operate, featuring a 5-in. color
touchscreen. - Elos Fixturlaser AB,

Route-based and onsite vibration
measurement and analysis
The CoCo-80 Vibration Data Collector
(photo) features a user interface
that is specially designed for use
in vibration-analysis and machinecondition-monitoring
applications.
Included along with standard vibration-data
functionalities, the
CoCo-80 includes route-setup capabilities,
robust measuring tools
and data management and backup
options. The collector also has both
route-based data collection and onsite
measurement functions. The
route-based mode includes overall
readings, as well as time waveform
and spectrum data. The onsite measurement
mode conducts a number
of tests in addition to data collection,
including bump, coast-down/run-up
and balancing tests. A combination
of Ethernet interface and remote
software allows for distributed measurements
with multiple units. Remote
monitoring of CoCo-80 units is
possible through wireless communication.

This automatic sliding motor
base maintains belt tension
The Browning Tenso-set Series
600 horizontal sliding motor base
(photo) automatically maintains
belt tension for extended periods of
time and also allows for very quick
belt changes. This device reduces
the frequency of re-tensioning services
and helps maintain efficiency
by preventing belt slippage. The
Series 600 operates like a standard
motor base, utilizing a jackscrew to
adjust and hold tension on the belt.
However, the new design includes a
coil spring inside the screw housing

that pushes against the carriage to
maintain tension as the belt wears
or seats itself further into the sheave
groove. Featuring heavy steel construction,
this motor base is sized to
fit National Electrical Manufactuers'
Association (NEMA) frame sizes
56 and 286, but custom sizes can be
produced for specific applications.
