A post-installation alignment check is the step that most commissioning procedures include but most maintenance teams skip. After completing the initial shaft alignment, fitting the coupling, torquing the bolts, and starting the machine for the first time, the natural...

Gearbox connections present coupling selection challenges from both sides: the input coupling must accommodate the motor speed and protect the gearbox input bearings from motor vibration; the output coupling must handle the much higher output torque and protect the...

Measuring a shaft coupling correctly for replacement is a skill that saves significant time and cost. The wrong measurement approach leads to ordering the wrong coupling ¡ª then waiting for a reorder while the machine sits idle. The right approach ¡ª knowing which...
