A device for centering a sensor assembly in a bore comprises a first support member and a second support member axially spaced apart along a longitudinal axis of the device, and a plurality of arm assemblies connected between the first and second support members. Each arm assembly comprises a first arm pivotally connected to the first support member by a first pivot joint having a first pivot axis, a second arm pivotally connected to the second support member by a second pivot joint having a second pivot axis, a third arm connected between the first and second arms, the third arm pivotally connected to the first arm by a third pivot joint having a third pivot axis, and the third arm pivotally connected to the second arm by a fourth pivot joint having a fourth pivot axis. A third support member is positioned axially between the first and second support members, and the third arm is pivotally connected to the third support member by a fifth pivot joint having a fifth pivot axis coincident with and orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. The third arm extends across the longitudinal axis between the third pivot axis and the fourth pivot axis, so that in use each arm assembly contacts opposite sides of the bore to centralise the sensor assembly in the bore.
