Today’s shaft alignment technology makes it quicker and easier to identify misalignment of all types and sizes of rotating machinery. For example, single-laser alignment systems have eliminated the need for pre-alignment, saving considerable time while increasing precision….
Laser shaft alignment systems are crucial to properly aligning your machinery to ensure peak performance and extended asset life. Their pinpoint accuracy makes them the right choice for numerous industrial settings. But all laser alignment systems are…
It’s easy to say you’re a leader. But much harder to become one — and stay one. It takes work. To date, the legacy of PRUFTECHNIK, a division of Fluke Reliability, covers nearly 50 years of industry-leading…
It’s an age-old problem: the technicians in the field performing shaft alignments are often physically separated from the managers and engineers who need the measurement data being gathered. That’s why PRUFTECHNIK alignment systems — such as ROTALIGN…
Among the most challenging machinery alignment tasks you might face is aligning a Cardan shaft—named after 16th-century Italian polymath Gerolamo Cardano, who invented it along with other machine mechanisms. Cardan shafts are essentially couplings. Their purpose is…
Machinery alignment scenarios are rarely the same. Using an easy shaft alignment tool that works for some simple jobs can introduce new errors on more complex projects. This unnecessarily complicates the alignment process, frustrating technicians, and driving…
