Shaft misalignments as small 0.06 mm can cause failures of seals, couplings, and bearings as well as increase motor vibration and heat. Traditional alignment methods, like straightedges/feeler gauges, ...

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 ...

Fluke announced introduces the Fluke® 830 Laser Shaft Alignment Tool. Shaft misalignment in rotating machinery has the potential to cost companies thousands of dollars a year in replacement bearing ...

Motor and drive system technology continues to advance throughout the industry. Oftentimes, this increased complexity presents a challenge to the teams who are making sure the equipment runs at peak ...

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 ...

Linear motors are synchronous motors: Current is applied to the coil to form an electromagnet. The coil then synchronizes itself to the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets in the magnet ...
