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 ...

A common misconception is that vibration analysis will always tell you when there’s an alignment problem with a motor installation. Although vibration analysis is essential to a good motor maintenance ...

Proper shaft alignment of directly coupled machines has proven to be one of the greatest money savers for machinery-intensive industries over the last 25 years. When poorly done, usually for lack of ...

High vibration is a common problem for motors installed on top of vertical pumps. Its source can stem from a mechanical issue with the pump, motor, or coupling — or even hydraulic forces from the pump ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. With so many types of flexible couplings on the market, designers need to understand the differences between them to ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Couplings transfer power by connecting two shafts at the ends to transmit torque. While there are six degrees of ...
