To measure angularity using dial indicators, a fixture bracket is attached to one shaft and the dial is set-up to contact the face of the other coupling hub. The dial is set to zero at position #1, for example, 12:00.

To correct horizontal misalignment by monitoring using dial indicators mounted at the coupling, perform the following steps: Rotate the dial indicators to 9:00 and zero them. Rotate shafts to 3:00. Adjust the dial indicators to one-half their values. Move the front feet of the movable machine as you watch the rim dial indicator move to zero.

There are two commonly use methods to align rotating machine shafts using a dial indicator. When using a rim-face method, one measurement is taken on the rim of the coupling to determine shaft offset. Another measurement is taken on the face of the coupling to …

2022年3月16日 · To measure angularity using dial indicators, a fixture bracket is attached to one shaft and the dial is set-up to contact the face of the other coupling hub. The dial is set to zero at position #1, for example, 12:00.

Dial indicator is mounted on one hub/ shaft and measures on Rim of other hub/ shaft. Dial indicator is then reversed to other shaft and steps are repeated.

ince shaft alignment needs to be measured and subsequently corrected, a method of quantifying and describing alignment condition is necessary. Traditionally alignment has been described in terms of dial indicator readings at the coupling face or position values at the machine feet. The

There are several steps which need to be taken for a successful alignment job. Familiarize with terms, techniques and procedure. Learn about the machine you are aligning. Check for coupling & shaft run out. Know the characteristics of your tool. Perform a Sag Check.

2023年11月29日 · By using the reverse dial indicator alignment technique, we can accurately measure the misalignment between the two shafts. This method involves measuring the movement of one shaft in relation to the other while the machinery is still in operation.

accurate coupling alignment using a dial indicator. The pictures throughout show Falk gear coupling components but all procedures can be used equally as well with Falk Steelflex®, Disc and Torus® couplings. Also refer to the specific Installation and Maintenance literature furnished with each coupling. CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS

reverse dial indicator method covered in this application note. Additionally, reverse dial alignment does not require removal of the coupling to collect data. Working With Dial Indicators Dial indicators are available in many physical sizes and ranges. For …
