Angular misalignment
Alignment Tolerances
Alignment Method
With all alignment methods -
measurements are taken at the
shaft ends or coupling.
Alignment Method
Misalignment is corrected at the feet.
Alignment Method
How far & where the feet move is calculated from
measurements taken at the coupling or shaft ends
Ways of Shaft
Alignment
Different Ways of Aligning
Shafts
Mechanical Methods
Straight edge / feeler gauge
Radial misalignment
Angular misalignment
Rough-alignment
Ensure the shafts are aligned “in-the-ballpark”
Precision alignment
Use laser system
Check for ‘Soft foot’
Elastomeric Coupling
Grid Coupling
Reduced Mechanical Wear
Bearings - shaft misalignment increases load on bearings
Increase leakage
Alignment
Alignment
Both equipment have the same shaft centerline.
The closer you get the hot running
alignment, the better the connected
equipment will run, giving longer
bearing and seal life.
Fill
any gaps between the machine feet
and the base and tighten bolts.
Fundamentals
Parallel misalignment.
Thanks.
