Troubleshooting Alignment Data
This article, which appeared in the February 2008 issue of Pumps & Systems magazine,
addresses the issue of comparing rim and face dial indicator readings
to laser-based alignment readings. The goal is to answer questions
such as: What does the data mean? Why do I rotate both shafts when
measuring misalignment with lasers? Why are the numbers at the feet
higher than you would like? How do you KNOW the alignment is good?

Precision Shaft Alignment In A Time-Driven World
While most alignment programs are focused on large, process-critical
machines, a lot of unscheduled maintenance occurs on small equipment.
Downsizing of maintenance departments makes these unscheduled jobs
a challenge. This article, first published in the September-October
2007 issue of Reliable Plant magazine, presents a new approach
to alignment aimed at addressing this problem. ››GO
"Don't Look At Your Feet"
This article, published in Maintenance
Technology magazine, explores
the issue of tolerances set at the couplings rather than at the
feet of the moveable machine. You'll gain an understanding of
just why it makes sense to focus on coupling values when completing
a precision alignment. ››GO
