COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

This course will provide participants with the working knowledge to achieve alignment on two-shaft systems (e.g. motor and pump) and will emphasize what is involved in the overall alignment process. The aim of the course is to provide the participants with the knowledge to accurately align any type of machinery in a variety of ways. No single alignment method or system is promoted over another. There are advantages and disadvantages to each system. This course helps to insure that the participants are aware of the various techniques to measure and correct misalignment. In addition, it will help participants pick the best method of alignment to suit their individual needs and the needs of their company. Each participant will develop the confidence and ability to do the job correctly. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the detection and measurement of misalignment of rotating machinery; the tolerances in flexible and rigid couplings; the correct flexible coupling; the various alignment methods and techniques; the face and rim method, double radical method, shaft-to-coupling spool method, face-face method and electronic/electro-optical method; and the proper method in aligning V-belt drives, rotating shaft in stationary hollow cylinder, parallel rolls, vertical rolls and lateral rolls.
