Shaft Alignment
Accurate shaft alignment requires the knowledge and skill of experienced engineers.
Shaft Alignment
Why is shaft alignment important?
Correct shaft alignment is essential for the optimal lifespan and efficiency of rotating equipment. At the point of power transfer from one shaft to another, the axes of rotation must be collinear under normal operating conditions.
Without this precision, machinery can experience excessive vibration, noise, damage, premature wear and increased energy consumption, all of which contribute to higher operating costs and reduced service life.
Poor alignment can lead to:

|
Higher vibration |
|
2
|
Premature component wear |
|
3
|
Greater operating cost |

Without this precision, machinery can experience excessive vibration, noise, damage, premature wear and increased energy consumption.
Poor alignment can lead to:
Higher vibration
Increased vibration, noise and mechanical stress.
Premature component wear
Reduced bearing, seal, coupling and shaft life.
Greater operating cost
Higher energy use, more downtime and increased maintenance spend.

Dynamic Measurement
Alignment under real operating conditions
Rotating equipment is influenced by external forces during normal operation. Dynamic measurement helps account for these forces, preventing hidden misalignment that can create stress, inefficiency and costly failures.
Why it mattersDynamic forces such as pipe strain, thermal expansion and nozzle load can shift shafts during operation. Detecting these movements helps prevent hidden alignment problems. |
Our approachUsing laser technology, we perform on-site dynamic measurements while equipment runs. Even small displacements can be captured on pumps, turbines, compressors and generators, with continuous monitoring available where required. |
