Abstract: A tool for determining concentricity between a sleeve and a rod to be arranged within the sleeve includes a body portion having a major axis and housing an array of elements constrained for linear motion therealong, a nose portion configured for insertion into the bore of the sleeve and including radially extendable probe pins for engaging the inner surface of the sleeve, the probe pins being movable into engagement with the sleeve inner surface by movement of the array of elements in the body portion in a first direction parallel with the major axis, locking screws carried by the housing body and engageble with one element of the array of elements for locking the array and hence the pins in an extended position, and a measuring mechanism for measuring the distance that the pins have been extended from a zero extension position.A method for measuring concentricity of one cylindrical member arranged in a second cylindrical member includes the steps of inserting a tool in the second cylindrical member, moving a first set of elements carried by the tool into engagement with the inner surface of the bore, establishing a “zero” position for the first set of elements, measuring for each element the distance of movement from the “zero” position of that element to the position where that element engages the inner surface of the bore. The method further entails adjusting the position of first cylindrical member relative to the second member within a tolerance range based on the distances measured from the “zero” positions.

Abstract: An attitude arm mounted to a support arm is rotatable about a pivot. The attitude arm holds a stylus gauge, which generates a signal representing deflection of the stylus in a measurement direction as the stylus follows a surface of a workpiece rotated on a turntable. An attitude switching mechanism allows switching between a first stylus attitude generally aligned with the turntable spindle axis and a second stylus attitude generally aligned perpendicular to the turntable spindle axis. To enable alignment of the measurement direction with the spindle axis, first and second adjusters enable the stylus tip to be moved perpendicular to the spindle axis and the measurement direction when in the first and second stylus attitudes, respectively. An orientation mechanism is provided to rotate the measurement direction of the stylus. A stylus tilt mechanism is provided to tilt the stylus about a tilt axis parallel with the measurement direction.

Abstract: A roundness calibration device includes a ring or plug gauge with a wall defining an arcuate surface traversable by a sensing probe. A protuberance, typically in the form of a piston, is displaceably mounted in a radial bore in the wall. A displacement device adjusts the amount of protrusion of said protuberance to locally, radially modify the arcuate surface. A calibrated measuring device accurately determines the amount of protrusion.

Abstract: An air bearing drive system has a base, a moving portion, an air bearing for forming an air film gap between the base and the moving portion, air nozzles and a suction inlet. The air nozzles and suction inlet are formed on the base. The air nozzles blow air toward the moving portion so as to exert a levitation force on the moving portion. The suction inlet applies suction to the air film gap so as to attract the moving portion toward the base and thereby exert an attraction force on the moving portion. An air supplying device supplies air to the air nozzles. A vacuum source applies suction to the suction inlets. Two adjusting devices are adapted to adjust the levitation force produced by the air issuing from the air nozzles and the attraction force of air drawn into the suction inlet so as to provide an accurate and low cost air bearing drive system.

Abstract: A device and method for measuring deviations in shape of a generally cylindrical workpiece is disclosed. The device enables measurement of a number of shape-defining parameters while the workpiece is positioned in a machine tool, so that the workpiece does not have to be removed from the machine tool in order for the measurements to be taken. A steadying rest, for use on machine tools to hold a workpiece, especially one having a longitudinal central axis that is rotationally unsymmetrical or unstable with respect to the machining tool, in position to enable measurement of the shape defining parameters and shape deviations while the workpiece is mounted on the machine tool, is also disclosed.

Abstract: During use, a wheel of a railway vehicle may become out of round, which will be detrimental to both the vehicle suspension and the railway track. The shape of such a wheel may be monitored to detect any such out of roundness, while the wheel is rolling, by measuring how far the flange of the wheel projects below the upper surface of the rail. This may be achieved by mounting a rigid bar (24) alongside the rail (10), the bar (24) being supported resiliently so as to be depressed by a flange of a wheel (40), and by measuring the vertical displacement of the bar. The bar (24) may be supported by a plurality of flat leaf springs (26), which are inclined to the horizontal at for example 30°. This ensures that the bar (24) remains substantially parallel to the top surface of the rail (10) when depressed by the flange of a wheel (40).
