Abstract:
1. Carrier for a measurement head of an optoelectronic alignment device for use in the measurement of the relative alignment of two shafts, which is used to mount a measurement head on one of the two shafts, comprising: a body adapted for placement against a cylindrical surface of one of the shafts, a clamping device for attachment of the body on the shaft, a holding device for accommodating a measurement head so that the measurement head can be displaced in a direction along the length of the holding device, a rotation device which is permanently connected to the body, a rotary part of the rotation device having a pivot joint connected to the holding device and about which the holding device is pivotable, the pivot joint having an axis of rotation running coaxially or parallel to the shaft, wherein the direction in which the measurement head can be displaced along the length of the holding device is radial relative to the axis of rotation of the pivot joint.
