Special alignment options
125
All alignment corrections are achieved solely by inserting and removing the proper
combination of shims; corrections are indicated for each individual machine foot to
yield the required horizontal and vertical displacement for the machine upon angled
supports. These corrections correspond to the values in the results screen as shown
below.
5.4.3 Coupling type
The following coupling types are available for selection:
Short flex – These couplings feature fitted transmission elements with play
(such as teeth, claws or bolts) or elastic connecting elements like rubber ‘tires’ or
springs.
Single plane – The coupling halves are bolted directly together. Loosen the
bolts before taking measurements, since they would otherwise distort the true
alignment condition.
Spacer shaft: When the coupling halves are joined by a spacer element, its
length must be entered.
Cardan shaft: Just as with regular spacer shafts, the shaft axial distance
(between coupling planes) must be entered.
5.4.4 Coupling results format
This parameter allows the desired display format to be selected for depicting the
coupling alignment condition. This allows direct comparison with the manufacturer’s
alignment tolerances. The proper format setting depends upon the coupling type
used.
-0.12 -0.39
0.11 0.59

The vertical corrective
values for each foot are
