METHOD OF CHECKING MISALIGNMENT OF SHAFTS Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC G01B5/25 

FIELD: mechanical engineering; transport engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used at inspection and repair of underground vehicles where misalignment of shafts of traction motor and wheelset output reduction gear is to be checked and adjusted. According to proposed method, spring-loaded T-shaped end piece is installed on one of shafts be means of rod, post and clamps, with possibility of contact with other shaft. Said T-shaped end piece is furnished with meter, foe instance, slide wire. Displacement of shaft is measured in horizontal plane which corresponds to horizontal misalignment, and turning of clamp on shaft, vertical and extreme misalignments are measured.

EFFECT: no influence of difference in shaft diameters (radii) on result of measurements.
