2 Days Is the correct alignment of rotating equipment a critical reliability factor in your plant? Would improved or refreshed skills in rim and face shaft alignment methods help with maintenance team confidence and performance?
Plant mechanics, millwrights and maintenance engineers are responsible for the health and reliability of rotating equipment. In this course, participants will learn how to accurately align direct coupled machine shafts. This 2-day course begins with the fundamental principles behind shaft to shaft alignment and concludes with students conducting a series of alignment exercises using conventional alignment tools. Two methods will be covered: straight edge alignment, and rim and face alignment. The course is taught hands-on with standard alignment tools, demonstration models, and simulation software. Learn How To: Explain the costly effects of misalignment Identify the symptoms of misaligned rotating equipment Diagnose and solve soft foot and eccentric runout problems Set up dial indicators for rim and face alignment work Take accurate alignment readings and measurements Use simple graphing and formulas to analyze the readings taken Make changed to vertical shims taking thermal growth offsets into account Complete successful horizontal moves and confirm final alignment
Why Align?
Objective: List consequences from failure to align Activity: Identify machine components that have failed due to misalignment Make a notable contribution to coupling, bearing and seal life! Minimize vibration and energy consumption!
Alignment Theory
Objective: Describe the common types of shaft misalignment Activity: Identify parallel offset and angularity
Use simple alignment math and graphs! Take thermal offset into account!
Review recent maintenance records for valuable clues and begin safe lockout procedures
Detecting Runout
Objective: Detect shaft and coupling runout conditions Activity: Use magnetic base with dial indicator
Put feeler gauges, vernier callipers and straight edges to good use to achieve initial roughed-in shimming and horizontal alignment
Take and record accurate measurements and make vertical and horizontal moves
Do you shim for vertical moves first, or make horizontal moves first?
