The objective of optimized shaft alignment is to increase the operating life span of rotating machinery. To achieve this goal, components that are the most likely to fail must be made to operate ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Couplings transfer power by connecting two shafts at the ends to transmit torque. While there are six degrees of ...

Proper shaft alignment of directly coupled machines has proven to be one of the greatest money savers for machinery-intensive industries over the last 25 years. When poorly done, usually for lack of ...

Couplings chosen with application requirements in mind last longer, improve precision, and protect other system components from premature failure. • Engineers should choose couplings that compensate ...

The alignment of turbine-generator sets poses unique challenges that only the best laser shaft alignment systems can overcome. Not the least of these is the difficulty of turning the shafts (either ...
