The Labmaster Universal bearing measuring instrument can measure a wide range of anti-friction bearings including tapered bearings, needle bearings, ball bearings, spherical bearings, and cylindrical bearings. A few of the most popular bearing characteristics that can be measured on the Pratt & Whitney Labmaster bearing measuring system include:
Radial Internal Clearance (Radial Internal Play)
Axial Internal Clearance (Axial Internal Play / End Play)
Internal Diameter of Bearing (Inner Ring)
External Diameter of Bearing (Outer Ring)
Inner Raceway of Bearing
Outer Raceway of Bearing
Shield Thickness
Ball Bearing Diameter
Easy to use and the most accurate bearing measuring instrument on the market today, the P&W Labmaster Universal measures bearings used for the aerospace, automotive, and medical industry. A popular add-on for the bearing remanufacture & repair industry is the axial internal clearance (axial play) and radial internal clearance (radial play) kits. These accessories can measure bearing wear and provide important failure analysis.
Features & Benefits of the LMU Radial Internal Clearance/Play Kit:
Differential Measurement
Eliminates errors due to deflections of machine elements and errors due to variations in mechanical connections.
Floating Ring Design
Flexure support allows 6 degrees of frictionless movement with zero looseness. The force application system is also frictionless. The absence of friction and looseness ensures repeatability. The floating ring design allows precise alignment of the bearing races, which reduces misalignment errors.
Horizontal Orientation
Minimizes errors due to the bearing deforming under its own weight. Eliminates the need for the force system to compensate for bearing weight.
Concentrated Force Application
Minimizes error due to ring deflection. Radial Play Kit includes force systems (load presets) to satisfy ABMA, ANSI, ISO, JIS, and DIN standards for ABEC ball bearings, RBEC roller bearings, etc.
Performance Highlights
Highest accuracy, repeatability, and resolution on the market.
