    The Importance of Correcting Sheave Run-Out - Ludeca

    Uploaded by

    Hassan Khattab
    Radial and axial run-out in sheaves, if not corrected, can cause premature belt and bearing failure through a "rubber band effect". Run-out refers to non-uniform rotation around the axis. Typical tolerances are 5 mils for radial run-out on high-speed sheaves and 10 mils for slow sheaves, and 0.5 mils per inch of diameter for axial run-out on high-speed sheaves and 1 mil per inch for slow sheaves. Run-out should be checked and corrected before laser alignment by inspecting the shaft, sheave, and bushing seating.

    tension. Over time this repetition of the belt going slack then tightening will wear out the belt as well as the bearings and cause
    premature failure.

    Run-out for sheaves can occur in two forms, radial (rim) and axial (face), and both need to be set within tolerance before CALENDAR
    performing the final alignment. The typical tolerance for radial run-out should not exceed 5 mils total indicated reading (T.I.R.) for

    Start by checking for radial run-out. If excessive run-out is measured, check if any shaft run-out is present. If shaft run-out is
    detected, the shaft may be bent which would require replacing the shaft before measuring for radial run-out on the sheave RCM
    again. If no run-out was detected for the shaft, replace the sheave instead. Additionally, if the sheave is mounted on a tapered Reliability
    bushing, inspect and thoroughly clean both the inside and outside of the bushing to ensure the sheave is seated properly. Once

    the radial run-out is within tolerance, check for any axial run-out (or wobble) of the sheave. If axial run-out is measured, correct it
    by repositioning the sheave on the shaft. Once both types of run-out are within tolerance, install the new belts and perform the Ultrasound
