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 ...

Shaft misalignments as small 0.06 mm can cause failures of seals, couplings, and bearings as well as increase motor vibration and heat. Traditional alignment methods, like straightedges/feeler gauges, ...

Motor and drive system technology continues to advance throughout the industry. Oftentimes, this increased complexity presents a challenge to the teams who are making sure the equipment runs at peak ...

• The major issue with all parallel-drive systems is orthogonal alignment. • The dynamic motion generated by any two identical linear-shaft motors is the same ...

Sustainability has become a defining priority across industrial and maritime operations. While much of the discussion centers ...

Fluke announced introduces the Fluke® 830 Laser Shaft Alignment Tool. Shaft misalignment in rotating machinery has the potential to cost companies thousands of dollars a year in replacement bearing ...

Proper shaft alignment of directly coupled machines has proven to be one of the greatest money savers for machinery-intensive industries over the last 25 years. When poorly done, usually for lack of ...

Although electric motors consume more electricity than any other technology in industrial and commercial applications, today's energy-efficient and premium-efficiency motors can significantly reduce ...

Designed for high-speed packaging applications where space is at a premium, the 1FT7 series of synchronous servo motors are billed as the first servo motors with encoders that can be replaced in the ...
