Accurate alignment saves energy and costs. Did you know that shaft misalignment accounts for nearly half of all expenses related to rotating machinery breakdowns? By accurately aligning the shafts of ...

Even with their roles now made clear, the sizing of bushings and sleeves still isn’t straightforward. Fits have to survive ...

More than 20 percent of all machinery claims, as well as catastrophic failure, off-hire and repair costs are caused by misalignment – the cause of almost all propulsion train damages Sweden’s ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Productivity is a shared goal in industrial applications involving designers, component makers, and end users. Everyone plays a role. In this report, Productivity is a shared goal in industrial ...

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 ...

Fabless chip maker CambridgeIC has improved the accuracy and speed of its non-contact position sensing technology. Implemented in the firm’s CAM502 chip, it uses resonant inductive sensors to deliver ...

Last month, mechanical seal and pumps supplier Mechanical Rotating Solutions (MRS) was asked to address the multiple failures experienced by a coal mine in Mpumalanga as a result of coupling ...
