Shaft misalignments as small 0.06 mm can cause failures of seals, couplings, and bearings as well as increase motor vibration and heat. Traditional alignment methods, like straightedges/feeler gauges, ...

Pinpoint Laser Systems (www.pinlaser.com) has introduced a laser alignment tool for precision measuring, machinery alignment, calibration, and other industrial applications. The Microgage 2D Laser was ...

It combines a compact laser transmitter with a digital receiver and display. The display reads out motion to accuracies of 0.001 in. as the laser movers across the receiver vertically or horizontally.

The objective of optimized shaft alignment is to increase the operating life span of rotating machinery. To achieve this goal, components that are the most likely to fail must be made to operate ...

All rotating machinery is susceptible to misalignment and the conventional methods of measuring alignment, such as rulers and dial indicators, are outdated and inaccurate, says industrial equipment ...
