What is shaft alignment?

Shaft alignment is the positioning of the

rotational centers of two or more shafts such
that they are co-linear when the machines are
under normal operating conditions.
 components of misalignment
There are two components of misalignment
angular and offset.
 What is Pump Alignment?

The alignment of pump shaft couplings and

motor drive shafts is critical to ensure efficient
running and to reduce the risk of breakdown
 Benefits of Pump Alignment
1. Reduced vibration levels
2. Increased meantime between failures
3. Reduced maintenance costs
4. Reduced energy consumption
5. Increased production quantity
6. Improved plant safety
 Belt alignment method
Belt alignment can be carried out by one of two
methods, namely the traditional methods usually
employing strings and /or straight edges. Laser
method utilise a laser beam, which allows for a
far higher degree of accuracy.
