Thermal compensation
During normal operation, machinery is influenced of different factors and forces. The
most common of these changes is the change in the temperature of the machine. This
will cause the height of the shaft to increase. This is called thermal growth. To com-
pensate for thermal growth, you enter values for cold condition compensation.
Select
and
from the result and
distance view. The Thermal compensation view
is displayed.
Example
It can be necessary to place the cold machine a
bit lower to allow thermal growth. In this exam-
ple we set -5mm as vertical compensation, both
offset and angle.
1. Before thermal compensation.
2. Set thermal compensation.
3. Thermal compensation set. When you have
set thermal compensation and return to the
result view, the values have changed. When
the machine becomes warm, the thermal
growth will make it perfectly aligned.
