For optimum performance and long life of bearings, couplings, mechanical seals and other mechanical components, a number of factors need to be considered. One key factor is equipment alignment.
Misalignment is the primary cause of premature failure of rotating machinery. When the equipment is not correctly aligned, it is often caused by misalignment of the shaft, which may result in unplanned maintenance outages or premature failure of bearings and seals. You can also prevent:
