When performing shaft alignment, the most important goal is to align the machine to within proper tolerances. One criterion that has an impact on the tolerances that should be used is identifying
We often start a balance job by haphazardly placing our tach and tape. Because both the tach and tape are well engineered, we may go on without a problem. But just a little attention to some of
The following are simple but often ignored pre-alignment checks which will allow you to check for soft foot and start making moves immediately after taking alignment readings:
Emerson Process Management introduces the Fisher® 8590 high-performance butterfly valve that brings a selection of disk seals, actuator designs and material combinations to meeting plant-wide throttling and on-off requirements.
This article examines the invariant character of the vector factors in the direct static/couple solution for the two-plane field balancing with the orientation of the overhung rigid rotor. The aim of the article is to establish the correct application of the formulas involved to a practical case, which also has been particularized for the fixed scale convention.
Proper location is very important when collecting vibration measurements on a belt system. If possible, one reading should be taken in line with the sheaves and one reading perpendicular to them
Jacking bolts provide an easy and accurate way to horizontally position a motor during a shaft alignment. However, it they are left tight against the feet, some unexpected problems may occur.
We often get asked, What tools and equipment does a millwright team need to do shaft alignment? Beyond the obvious safety equipment, such as hearing protection, steel-toe shoes, work gloves, hard
