Shaft alignment for increased machine availability

Premature bearing failures of gear units are often caused by shaft misalignments.

Flexible couplings compensate misalignments (parallel and angular misalignments); however the alignment tolerance, which is based on RPM and other variables, has to be taken into consideration.

Possible alignment methods and practices range from inexpensive straight edge or dial indicators to high-precision laser optic alignments systems.

Our experienced technicians are specialists for shaft alignment with modern measuring equipment. We would be pleased to advise you regarding alignment system or method.
