[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The tooling shown is for measuring the clearance of an AC motor rotor assembly, comprising:

[0024] Base 100; its top is provided with a mounting slot;
