Course Description

This course discusses the importance of alignment. Participants will be able to identify the area of error and correct it accordingly. They will learn how to correct soft foot, check runout, align two pieces of rotating machinery using dial indicators and review all the currently used alignment equipment and techniques (e.g. lasers and electromechanical systems).  Moreover, different types of shaft misalignment will be thoroughly focused on.  Lastly, participants will be able to determine the amount of tolerance through various methods.

 

Course Objectives

  • Being able to identify machine components that have failed due to misalignment
  • Understanding the common types of shaft misalignment
  • Learning the steps to prepare for a shaft re-alignment
  • Being able to detect and correct soft foot conditions
  • Learning how to use basic tools to achieve rough alignment

Who Should Attend?

  • Anyone who is in charge with designing, installing, troubleshooting or repairing any rotating machinery.
  • Those who are responsible for the health and reliability of rotating equipment
  • Maintenance personnel 
  • Technicians
