Vertical flanged machines
A typical vertical machine arrangement comprises one machine mounted on top of the other
using a bolted flange.
Flange-mounted machines may have a vertical or horizontal orientation. In either case, align-
ment corrections are made directly at the flange.
Angularity is corrected by inserting or removing shims between the flanges. The rugged device
calculates the shimming thickness for each flange bolt.
Offset is corrected by positioning the flange laterally.
l (1) Sensor
l (2) Reflector (prism)
The sensor and reflector are mounted on either side of the coupling as for horizontal
machines. The sensor is mounted on the shaft of the bottom machine, and the reflector on the
shaft of the upper machine. As the electronic inclinometer cannot directly determine the rota-
tion angle of vertical shafts, the measurement mode for vertical machines is Static Clock.
Marking measurement positions
For Static Clock measurement mode, the eight 45° measurement positions used with these
procedures must be marked accordingly on the machine.
