The perfect alignment of machinery shafts is crucial to increasing the operating life span of rotating machinery. It further reduces the risk of exceeding bearing load, over-heating and excessive energy consumption leading to bearing failure, shaft failure, seal failures and vibrations.
The use of precision laser alignment equipment is crucial to ensure the smooth, efficient transmission of power from the motor to the driven equipment.
Incorrect alignment occurs when the centerlines of the motor and the driven equipment shafts are not in line with each other. Misalignment produces excessive vibration, noise, coupling and bearing temperature increases, which results in premature bearing, shaft or transmission failure.
The shaft alignment should be checked when any motor, transmission or coupling component is replaced, or periodically as part of a preventative maintenance or energy saving inspection program. Fletcher Moorland can do this for you.

At Fletcher Moorland we use the very latest laser alignment technology available from SKF. This uses two measuring units fitted with laser diodes and positioning detectors. As the shafts to be coupled are rotated through 180 degrees any parallel misalignment or angular misalignment causes the two laser lines to deflect from their correct position.
The two measuring units are connected to the handheld display unit. As the shafts are rotated through 180 degrees any relative movement of the laser lines during this rotation indicates some degree of misalignment on the display.
The measurements from the two positioning detectors are automatically transferred to the handheld display unit which calculates the misalignment of the shafts and advises on corrective action required to correctly align them.
The required corrections are made and the alignment is rechecked to ensure that the alignment is now absolutely perfect. This now ensures there is minimal loading on the shaft, bearings and transmission components, reducing downtime, reducing repair costs and improving energy efficiency. |
