Shaft Alignment, Part 2
Whenever two pieces of rotating equipment, such as a pump and a motor, are coupled together, the shafts of the two components must be properly aligned. In other words, the shafts of the two components must form one continuous straight line. If shafts are misaligned, excessive vibration and equipment wear can occur. These conditions can lead to premature equipment failure and extra maintenance costs. This course will cover basic knowledge and skills necessary for proper shaft alignment.
