About the Air Gap Tool

The Wireless Air Gap Tool is designed for static alignment in large-scale hydro generators. It can be used at the time of initial installation and during re-assembly after maintenance procedures. The Air Gap Tool is easily positioned at predetermined locations between the stator core and rotor poles. Air gap distance is accurately measured and transmitted wirelessly to a handheld Android device or iPhone via the includedR App, and stored on command.

Measure and record rotor/stator air gaps in the field faster than ever. Simple, accurate measuring and data storage for hydroelectric turbines and more. No power cords, no pens, no paper. Measure and store data with the tap of a finger. Set limits for intuitive visual feedback while working.
