Industrial Alignment

What is Industrial Alignment?

The alignment of industrial machinery is of paramount importance to ensure machines can operate in an efficient manner, free from breakdowns.

Rotating machines are found across many applications in the world. Every single machine installation that includes a motor driving a pump, motor, mixer, fan etc. The power transmission can be a belt, a jack shaft, a coupling, and multiple machines including gearbox, generator or something else.

When it comes to problems like breakdowns or symptoms like vibrations or excessive wear of bearings, couplings or belts, the reason is very often misalignment.

Monition is the UK distributor for the Fixturlaser range of Industrial Alignment, Measurement & Laser Shaft Alignment Systems that have been developed specifically for industrial alignment applications. Monition also provides onsite industrial alignment services, through our team of highly experienced condition monitoring and industrial alignment engineers.

Why Precision Industrial Alignment of Machinery is Necessary

Misaligned machines result in vibrations and premature wear of bearings, seals and couplings. Machines with rotating shafts are designed to run under optimal conditions. Misalignment will lead to harmful forces, deteriorating the machines' performance.

Misaligned machines contribute to huge costs in repair and production loss every year. By introducing preventive maintenance, including regular alignment control, you minimise the number of unplanned stops due to machine breakdowns.

Measurements

• Shaft alignment of pumps, motors and reducers
• Cardan shaft alignment
• Machine train alignment
• Dynamic measurements / thermal growth measurements
• Measurement of base flatness

Industrial Alignment Products
High vibration levels, premature bearing failures, hot couplings or leaking shaft seals can all be indications of misaligned machines.

With Fixturlaser's laser-based alignment systems, you can make a quick check, align your equipment and keep the machines online without the risk of suffering unplanned stops due to misalignment.
