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 ...

Productivity is a shared goal in industrial applications involving designers, component makers, and end users. Everyone plays a role. In this report, Motion System Design editors polled coupling and ...

All rotating equipment power trains found in a power plant have some amount of vibration, usually caused by mechanical unbalance of the rotating system, shaft misalignment, or weakness in the bearing ...

Stafford Manufacturing Corp. has introduced a broad line of mechanical components for use as stops, spacers, shaft connectors, and versatile mounting devices in warehouse automation systems.

Maintaining alignment requires regular monitoring, and SKF’s TKSA laser-guided shaft alignment systems are designed for novices as well as experienced users, with built-in procedures that cover ...

Why a flexible coupling? A flexible coupling exists to transmit power (torque) from one shaft to another; to compensate for minor amounts of misalignment; and, in certain cases, to provide protective ...

Learn how root cause analysis and integrated data prevent hydropower bearing failures, reduce costly downtime, and improve ...

The SKF Shaft Alignment systems also display values and guidance in real time for accurate horizontal and vertical misalignment corrections. SKF is introducing two new shaft-alignment systems — the ...

The difference between flexible shaft couplings and rigid shaft couplings is not just in the terminology but in adsorption of torque. Shaft alignment is key to preventing unnecessary wear and damage ...
