Laser Shaft Alignment System from Monition Ltd - Fixturlaser UK

When a driver like an electric motor or a turbine is coupled to a pump, a generator, or any other piece of equipment, it is essential that the shafts of the two pieces are aligned. Any misalignment between the two increases the stress on the shafts and will almost certainly result in premature breakdown of the equipment. This can be very costly. When the equipment is down, production might be down. Also bearings or mechanical seals may be damaged and need to be replaced. A proper shaft alignment or the use of disc couplings can prevent this.

Machines "In Line" stay "On Line"

High vibration levels, premature bearing failures, hot couplings or leaking shaft seals can all be indications of misaligned machines. With Fixturlaser's laser based alignment systems, you can make a quick check, align your equipment and keep the machines online without the risk of suffering unplanned stops due to misalignment.

Why Precision Shaft Alignment is necessary

Misaligned machines result in vibrations and premature wear of bearings, seals and couplings. Machines with rotating shafts are designed to run under optimal conditions. Misalignment will lead to harmful forces, deteriorating the machines' performance.

Before such a shaft alignment can be done, it is also essential that the foundations for the driver and the driven piece are designed and installed correctly. If that is the case, than shaft alignment can be started.

Types of Shaft Misalignment

There are two types of shaft misalignment, parallel and angular misalignment. With parallel misalignment, the centre lines of both shafts are parallel but they are offset. With angular misalignment, the shafts are at an angle to each other.

Shaft Alignment - Aligned <<<>>> Shaft Alignment - Misaligned

The parallel misalignment can be further divided up in horizontal and vertical misalignment. Horizontal misalignment is misalignment of the shafts in the horizontal plane and vertical misalignment is misalignment of the shafts in the vertical plane. Similar, angular misalignment can be divided up in horizontal and vertical misalignment.

Parallel vertical Shaft Misalignment is where the motor shaft is moved vertically away from the pump shaft, but both shafts are still in the same vertical plane and parallel.

Angular horizontal Shaft Misalignment is where the motor shaft is under an angle with the pump shaft but both shafts are still in the same horizontal plane.

Errors of alignment can be caused by parallel misalignment, angular misalignment or a combination of the two.
