When maintenance team members prepare to work on an asset, they may wonder how to tell whether they have the correct alignment data for a given machine. Aligning a machine based on the historical information from different…
Measuring for precise alignment when installing a coupling driven asset is a smart and cost-effective way to help assure a longer machine life — right from the beginning of its active use. Maintenance teams that measure alignment…
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…
It’s commonly known among maintenance teams that misalignment in rotating equipment is caused by excessive loading, vibration, worn couplings, soft foot, and more. But diagnosing and correcting misalignment in machinery often is considered specialized work—reserved for the…
By Eric Elder When it comes to high-speed machines such as turbines, thermal growth is something that companies almost always must monitor. A PRÜFTECHNIK services team helped a leading manufacturer of industrial gas turbines for the global…
