SHAFT ALIGNMENT

Training Shaft Alignment – Cost efficiency of plant machinery in today’s market place is increasingly important. Consequently, the need for machinery to perform consistently and without breakdown increases accordingly. One of the most important aspects of rotating machinery reliability is to ensure that the rotating shafts of two or more connected machines are as perfectly aligned as possible. If the shafts are misaligned then vibration, wear and subsequent failure of bearings, couplings and seals will rapidly follow. This course will provide practical training on the main alignment techniques including Reverse Alignment and Laser Alignment. Students will be given opportunity to practice these alignment techniques on our training rigs and will use a Pruftechnik Laser Alignment system as part of the training process.
