Industry Standard for Alignment Accuracy
- Coupling remains assembled (no disassembly required)
- For shaft sizes 1 1/8" to 5" diameter (larger with the accessory chain clamps)
- Rugged three-drawer Kennedy toolbox
- Not affected by shaft end play
- Most cost-effective way to align shafts
- Precision measurement and precision moves (no hunting)
- Rigid clamping with swivel joints guarantees high degree of accuracy
- Tube to store extension rods and to measure bar sag
- Bar sag chart included
Comes with a McGraw-Hill textbook, by Victor Wowk, P.E., and 48 min. training DVD
The textbook describes the state-of-the-art alignment methods and is written by a pioneering engineer and author in the field
This easy-to-follow, step-by-step resource shows you how to:
- Diagnose Misalignment - using vibration instruments, dial indicators, hand feel, and visual observations.
- Perform Precision Alignments - using dial indicators, lasers, optical and electronic measuring instruments. Graphical plotting techniques are illustrated with examples of the reverse-indicator method, face-and-rim, and many variations.
- Move Machines - from small ones to the largest ones with orchestrated positioning techniques.
- Judge Acceptability - with alignment tolerances based on speed and stresses at the joints.
- Deal with Complicating Factors - such as faulty foundations, bent shafts, soft foot, bar sag, piping strain, and thermal growth.
- Align Specific Machines - from normal two-machine one-coupling horizontal systems, to long drive shafts, large and heavy machines, multiple machine trains, vertical shafts, single-bearing generators, and reciprocating machines.
- This authoritative guide also covers bearing alignments, gear alignment, and pulley alignments. It also includes specific chapters on couplings, optical tooling, and laser systems. |
