ERAG ELECTRONIC RADIAL ALIGNMENT GAUGE

Electronic Radial Alignment Gauge (ERAG) or Concentricity Alignment Tool (CAT) negates the need for tight wire and/or laser alignment. This tool can directly measure the amount of diaphragm misalignment with the rotor in place. This tool have a proven alignment method through thousands of hours of use.

ERAG/CAT Concentricity Alignment Tool features:

• Directly measures the amount of diaphragm misalignment with the rotor in place.
• Alignment method proven through thousands of hours of use.
• Easy to use – direct readout.
• Accommodates a wide range of turbine sizes.
• Very accurate (resolution to .0001 inch – accuracy plus or minus.0005 inch maximum).

MICRO ERAG FEATURE

µERAG (micro CAT) was born from the need to measure diaphragm misalignment on new turbine models with a very small radial clearances. The new head fits on a width slot 0.500″ (same as SCAT) and allows you to measure radial clearances from 0.200″ to 0.250″. Please contact us for additional information on the µERAG (micro CAT) at info@acquip.com or call us at +1 305 538 7101.

How to Use the ERAG/CAT for my Project?

  1. Inserted into the empty packing groove, the Concentricity Alignment Tool (CAT) allows annular space variations to be displayed on a LCD display as it is pulled through the packing groove as shown.
  2. The head “rub bars” ride on the turbine shaft and the head lever arm rides on the ID of the diaphragm. As the head is pulled through the packing groove, the lever arm follows the contour of the diaphragm ID and the dimensional variation is displayed.
  3. ERAG have a main body to which there is pivotally coupled a U frame whose arms extend at an angle from its base, so that as the former is pivoted in one direction, the latter will correspondingly pivot in an opposite direction.
  4. Contact points are provided to the arms and the bottom surface of the body, and the base of the U frame is biased by a spring-loaded slidable element within the body, which in turn is connected to a transducer.
  5. An ideal way to accomplish alignment is with the rotor in place so the dimension from rotor to seal carrier can be measured directly. One of the best methods of measuring between the rotor and the carrier includes an ERAG.
