2-52 Setting Up and Using Laser Alignment Fixtures
Using Alternative Mounting Brackets
Attaching the A800052 Soft-Mount (Non-Rotational) Mounting Base
The A800052 soft mount bracket was developed for machines with shafts or rotors
that are too large and heavy or difficult to turn like cement kilns, rock crushers,
gearboxes and hammer mills. This bracket is typically used for uncoupled align-
ments where either the Manual Sweep or Dual Pass methods are being used. It has
eight shielded ball bearings mounted at the base of the bracket so that the bracket
actually rolls around the shaft.
Nylon nuts that come in the package can be added to the chain to allow it to easily
slide over the shaft while providing a stable mounting configuration. If necessary,
install the nylon nuts through slots in the chain using the 6-32 x 1/2 inch panhead
screw (provided) so that they are evenly spaced.
