Alignment Training Course

Next Course Date TBC
Duration 2 Day
Location
Recommended for This course is recommended for anyone who is involved with maintaining rotating equipment, including supervisors and managers who wish to understand the effects that misalignment can have on their equipment.

 

Topics include:

  • The principles of rotating objects; loads, forces and resulting vibration; parallel, angular and
    combination alignment.
  • Different methods of measurement including using clock gauges (rim & face; reverse
    double dial) and laser alignment systems.
  • Necessary pre alignment checks: rough alignment, identify and eliminate soft-foot conditions; identify and eliminate piping strain.
  • How to move the machine using shims; different mechanical methods; the tools available and effects of grouting and fixings.
  • Problems with repeatability and what causes them, how to troubleshoot and eliminate.
  • Simple applications including direct coupled and belt driven machines.
  • Thermal expansion and its effects, how to measure, analyse and compensate.
  • Alignment problems such as base and bolt-bound conditions

 

Alignment Training Course Overview

The machine alignment training course will introduce the concepts of shaft alignment and how it affects equipment operation. The proper alignment of rotating equipment and maintaining the optimum operating conditions is essential when looking to obtain improved machine reliability and reduced energy consumption.

Training Course Objectives

This course aims to provide attendees with an understanding of how they can apply shaft alignment techniques using different methods & equipment. The course will address the problems that can occur when carrying out machine alignment and help to develop a systematic approach to solving these problems. The effects that misalignment has on machines will be demonstrated using condition monitoring
techniques.
