Air gap measuring apparatus

Disclosed is an air gap measuring apparatus, for measuring width of an air gap formed between a rotator and a stator. An insertion section has a first flat plate section and a second flat plate section. Gap adjusting means drives the second flat plate section such that the second flat plate section moves away from the first flat plate section, until the first flat plate section and the second flat plate section abuts on the rotator and the stator. An operating section extends to outside of the insertion section, and operates the gap adjusting means. An elastic body has an end that follows the first flat plate section, and other end that follows the second flat plate section. A strain gage outputs electrical signals corresponding to the strain of the elastic body, the strain being formed due to the movement of the second flat plate section.

POWER LINE TOWER ALIGNMENT METHOD

An alignment jig uses steel alignment cross members and chords to align multiple load bearing member footing legs simultaneously with great accuracy, thereby greatly speeding construction footing installation times. Using preset adjustment stops, multiple footing patterns may be readily accommodated. The entire alignment jig may be readily assembled or prepared for transport by skilled workers in an hour or less. By using the alignment jig, the speed of footing construction may be greatly increased. In some cases, footings that would have previously required four days to a week to build were reduced to a single day, with consequent cost and time savings. Although one initial use of the alignment jig is for high voltage power line tower footings with four legs, it may be used with as few as two legs, and may be used with more than four legs, and in a variety of applications. 115-.

The headlamp light and spacing measurements are used to provide headlamp center points on the screen and to determine the horizontal and vertical offset of the low beam light from each headlamp. The offset is used to adjust the headlamps so that they are properly aimed.

METHOD FOR CENTERING GRINDING WHEEL IN THREAD GRINDER AND MEASUREMENT DEVICE FOR CENTERING

In a thread grinder which grinds a thread grove on an inner surface of a workpiece while a rotation axis of a grinding wheel shaft is inclined with respect to an axis of a main shaft, a centering master which has a cylindrical outer surface is mounted to the main shaft. A measuring unit including two measuring instruments such that probes can contact two edges of a grinding wheel is mounted to the centering master. The origins of the measuring instruments are set by the probes contacting the cylindrical outer surface of the centering master. The measuring unit is moved in the axial direction of the centering master to bring the probes of the two measuring instruments into contact with the edges of the grinding wheel, respectively. The position of the grinding wheel shaft is adjusted such that measured values obtained by measuring instruments become same. 2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:adjusting positions of the first and second measuring instruments such that the first probe contacts one edge part of the grinding wheel in a direction orthogonal to an inclined direction of the grinding wheel and the second probe contacts another edge part of the grinding wheel opposite to the one edge part in the direction orthogonal to the inclined direction of the grinding wheel, at a state where the measuring unit is rotated by 90° about the centering master from a state where the centering of the grinding wheel is performed;moving the first and second measuring instruments of which the origins are set using the centering master, in the axis direction of the centering master, to thereby bring the first and second probes into contact with the two edge parts of the grinding wheel in the direction orthogonal to the inclined direction of the grinding wheel; andcentering the center of the grinding wheel with respect to the axis of the main shaft by adjusting the position of the grinding wheel shaft such that a measured value obtained based on the origin of the ...
