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
- Works in crowded or constrained locations where other tools will not fit
- 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] => Hysteresis Brake Dynamometers (HD Series) are versatile and ideal for testing in the low to medium power range (maximum 14 kW intermittent duty). With a Hysteresis Braking system, the Dynamometers do not require speed to create torque, and therefore can provide a full motor ramp from free-run to locked rotor. Brake cooling is provided by convection (no external source), by compressed air or by dedicated blower, depending on the model. All Magtrol Hysteresis Dynamometers have accuracy ratings of ± 0.25% full scale — depending on size and system configuration.
Features
- 16 Standard Models with Maximum Torque from 2.5 oz·in to 500 lb·in (18 mN·m to 56.5 N·m)
- Hysteresis Braking System: Provides precise torque loading independent of shaft speed
- Motor Testing from No Load to Locked Rotor
- Accuracy: ±0.25% (Full Scale)
- Air Flow Sensor: For protection against overheating and operator error
- Standard Torque Units: English, Metric and SI
- Custom Dynamometers: for special torque and speed requirements
- Easy Calibration
The Hysteresis Braking System
All Magtrol Hysteresis Dynamometers absorb power with a unique Hysteresis Braking System which provides frictionless torque loading independent of shaft speed. The Hysteresis Brake provides torque by the use of two basic components - a reticulated pole structure and a specialty steel rotor/shaft assembly - fitted together but not in physical contact. Until the pole structure is energized, the drag cup can spin freely on its shaft bearings. When a magnetizing force from the field coil is applied to the pole structure, the air gap becomes a flux field and the rotor is magnetically restrained, providing a braking action between the pole structure and rotor.

[post_content] => The Model 5241 is a voltage-controlled power amplifier designed exclusively for Magtrol's Model HD-825 Hysteresis Dynamometer. Because of its double braking system, the HD-825 requires more than 4 amps of power in order to reach full torque. The 5241 (which can provide up to 5 amps of output current) is necessary in order to amplify the power between a
6200 or
DSP7000 Controller (which both have a maximum current output of 1 amp) and the HD-825 Dynamometer.

PT Series T-slot Base Plates are used for creating a basic test rig by mounting a Magtrol Dynamometer,
Brake or
Torque Transducer in line with the unit to be tested. Depending on the system configuration, a riser may be required to lift the transducer from the baseplate to the shaft height of the brake and/or the motor being tested. Magtrol RTM Riser Kits come complete with attachment hardware for the transducer and T‑nuts and bolts for attachment to the PT Base Plate.
