Product Description
The ATK-25 is a unique shaft alignment solution, specially designed for small equipment. The ATK can be used to measure parallel and angular alignment, for correction of pitch, yaw, vertical, and horizontal positioning. It works in crowded or constrained locations where other tools will not fit.
Alignment is critical for rotating equipment. Poor alignment can cause:
- Excessive Vibration: Misaligned shafts lead to higher vibrations, which can result in mechanical failure or decreased performance
- Increased Wear and Tear: Bearings, seals, and couplings can experience premature wear due to the
additional forces exerted by misaligned shafts
- Equipment Failure: Continuous operation with misaligned shafts can lead to mechanical failure,
resulting in costly repairs and downtime
- Reduced Quality: In many industries, precision machinery is critical to maintaining product quality
Proper alignment tools and techniques provide major benefits, and are essential to achieving:
- Smooth operation, with the lowest noise and highest performance
- Long lifespan of component parts and minimum maintenance costs
- Reliable Operation, with the minimum downtime
- High production quality
Motor testing also requires good shaft alignment to produce the most accurate and consistent results. Unfortunately, the shaft alignment solutions widely available are not designed for use with smaller equipment.
Held on the V-block of one shaft, the ATK measures two tangent points on the target shaft. From those two measurements, angle can be determined from rise-over-run. Parallel position can be determined by measuring the target shaft on two sides, 180° opposite.
The ATK-25 includes attachments to accommodate a range of axial spacings between shaft ends. It includes a high-quality depth indicator, and is supplied in a durable, fitted case with all necessary tools.
Features
- Unique shaft alignment solution, specially designed for small equipment

- Measures parallel and angular alignment, for correction of pitch, yaw, vertical, and horizontal
positioning
- For shaft sizes: Ø5 … Ø25 mm (also suitable for Ø3/16 in … Ø1 in)
- User friendly design

[post_content] => Magtrol’s AMF Series Adjustable Motor Fixtures are used to secure small to medium-sized motors in place while running any test. These extremely versatile fixtures also enable easy motor centering for coupling to a Magtrol HD Series Hysteresis Dynamometer. (Couplings can be supplied upon request.) Various motor lengths are accommodated by either an attached T-slotted base plate or sliding base, depending on the model.
The AMF-1, -2 and -3 Fixtures feature one or two adjustable bridges, each fitted with a fluted knob clamp screw, to allow clamping anywhere along the axis of the motor. The adjustable bridge on the AMF-V Fixture incorporates a straight-line action clamp with a V-angle rubber padded clamp to maximize the mounting area.
To safeguard the motor, locking thumb screws provide protection against vibration and all motor-to-fixture contact surfaces are nylon padded for scratch-free clamping.

[post_content] => The Powder Brake Dynamometer (PB Series) contains, as its name suggests, a magnetic powder. The electrical current passing through the coil generates a magnetic field, which changes the property of the powder, thus producing a smooth braking torque through friction. They are ideal for applications operating in the low to middle speed range or when operating in the middle to high torque range. Like
Hysteresis Brakes, Powder Brakes provide full torque at zero speed. Like the
Eddy-Current Brake Dynamometers, the PB series are water-cooled, allowing for power ratings up to 48 kW. The PB Dynamometers have accuracy ratings of ± 0.3% to 0.5% full scale, depending on size and system configuration.
Features
- 9 Models with Maximum Torque from 5 N·m to 1 200 N·m (3.69 lb·ft to 885 lb·ft)
- Braking Power: 500 W to 48 kW
- Stable Braking Torque
- Low Moment of Inertia
- Operation in Either Rotational Direction
- Braking Torque Measurement Integrated
- Integrated Optical Speed Sensor
- Special designs available upon request
Operating Principles
The PB Series - Powder Dynamometers contain, as their name suggests, a magnetic powder. The electrical current passing through the coil generates a magnetic field, which changes the property of the powder, thus producing a smooth braking torque through friction between rotor and stator. The Powder Dynamometers (PB) produce their rated torque at zero speed. The element to be tested can be loaded at standstill to determine the starting torque.
Optical Speed Sensor
Each PB Series Dynamometer has a standard optical speed sensor. PB 43 has an optical speed sensor with a 30 PPR (Pulses Per Revolution); PB 65, PB 115 & PB 15 has an optical speed sensor with a 60 PPR. For higher speed resolution in low speed applications, Magtrol offers a 600 PPR or 6 000 PPR encoder as an option.

[post_content] => Magtrol Models 5500 and 5501 are manually-operated switch boxes that permit the connection of up to three Magtrol Dynamometers to a single
DSP7000 Dynamometer Controller. Use of the switch boxes facilitates quick and easy interfacing of multiple dynamometers without the necessity of disconnecting and reconnecting the brake and control cables. For Magtrol
WB Eddy-current or
PB Powder Brake Dynamometers, BOTH a 5500 AND a 5501 Switch Box are necessary. Magtrol
HD or ED Hysteresis Dynamometers only require the 5500.
