The alignment accuracy required depends essentially on the configuration of the overall

machine train. Observe the required alignment accuracy of the coupling manufacturer in all
cases when aligning the machine.

750 0.09 0.09

1500 0.06 0.05
3000 0.03 0.025

The rotor is dynamically balanced. For shaft extensions with feather keys, the balancing type
for machines with a frame size < 100 is stamped on the rating plate. For machines with a frame
size >= 100, the balancing type is specified using the following marking on the face of the drive
end of the shaft:
● "H" means balancing with a half feather key
● "F" means balancing with a whole feather key.
