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 centers 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 EVO system has two measuring units
that are placed on each shaft by using the
fixtures supplied with the system.
