SHAFT ALIGNMENT
VERTICAL MACHINES
INTRODUCTION
Shaft alignment: Determine and adjust
the relative position of two machines
that are connected, such as a motor and
a pump, so that the rotational centres of
the shafts are collinear, when the
machines are working at a normal
operating temperature. Correction of
vertical shaft alignment is done by
moving the flange of the machine until
the shafts are aligned within given
tolerances. A tolerance table is available
in the system.
The Fixturlaser system has two
measuring units that are placed on each
shaft by using the fixtures supplied with
the system. After rotating the shafts to
different measuring positions, the
system calculates the relative position
between the two shafts in two planes.
The distance between the two
measuring planes, distance to the
coupling, number of bolts and pitch
circle diameter are entered into the
system. The display box then shows the
actual alignment condition together with
the position of the feet. Adjustment of
the machine can be made according to
the values displayed. The angular
misalignment is corrected by placing
shims under the bolts and offset is
corrected by moving the machine
laterally.
The alignment results can be saved in
the memory manager. The
measurements in the memory manager
can easily be transferred to a PC for
further documentation purposes.
