Abstract
Apparatus for centering and axial and parallel alignment a pair of rotatable shafts. An alignment collar assembly is adapted to fit over and around the periphery of a flanged end of a shaft or an adapter on the shaft. The alignment collar has mating halves for easy assembly and disassembly and has roller means adapted to engage both the periphery and the underside of the flanged end to permit a 360.degree. rotation of the alignment collar assembly relative to the shaft. The alignment collar assembly is also adapted to support one or more gages for determining the axial and parallel position of the pair of rotatable shafts relative to each other.
