• Size 400 x 240 mm for shaft alignment
• Lightweight at 1.2 kg for easy handling

Consistent centre marks with minimal setup

The square’s stable geometry and tool steel construction deliver consistent results when transferring centrelines or setting up components. The matt-chrome finish on the scale reduces glare and improves contrast, making graduations easier to read under workshop lighting. For machinists and layout technicians this translates into fewer re-measures and more predictable setup times, which supports efficient workflow and reduced rework in batch or single-part production.

Built to withstand workshop conditions

Corrosion-resistant treatment and a durable steel body mean the device retains its mechanical integrity even in demanding environments. The combination of rust protection and a matt-plated reading face reduces wear on the graduations, preserving legibility over time. As a result, layout and scribing tasks remain accurate across many cycles of use, supporting steady inspection intervals and lower lifecycle costs for the tooling equipment.

Practical size and handling for shaft alignment

With a measurement area of 400 x 240 mm and a mass of 1.2 kg, the instrument balances reach with manoeuvrability for jobs such as aligning or marking shafts up to Ø400 mm and medium-sized housings. The format is compact enough for bench work yet offers the surface contact area required for reliable alignment on cylindrical parts. This makes it well suited for workshop marking, preparatory layout for machining and general assembly checks.
