Shaft Alignment Trainer

Understanding the Misalignment Issues

Misalignment is probably the most common cause of machinery malfunction. A poorly aligned machine can cost a factory 20% to 30% in machine down time, replacement parts, inventory, and energy consumption. The payback from aligning machinery to extend the operating life and optimize process conditions is very large. At first glance it seems that aligning two mating shafts should be a simple process. In the real world, however, there are many complicating factors. For example, either one or both shafts may be locked or have limited rotation. One or both shafts may float axially. The machine may have a soft or sprung foot at one or more locations along with a soft and/or warped baseplate. The alignment positions may become bolt bound. Keeping in mind that acceptable final alignment is typically less than 2 mils, maintenance professionals often find it very challenging to attain proper alignments.

The Ultimate Tool for Teaching Shaft Alignment

SpectraQuest’s Shaft Alignment Trainer (SAT) is the most comprehensive device on the market for shaft alignment training. It is designed for studying a wide variety of problems that can arise when two shafts are misaligned. It is a hands-on trainer for maintenance professionals. It provides a unique mechanism for studying soft and sprung foot. It is a realistic simulator with a one inch diameter shaft that fits standard couplings. Its modular design facilitates simulation of multiple element drive trains. The SAT is available in a two train and in a three train configuration. Each SAT incorporates two fully adjustable modular units featuring horizontal jack bolts, calibrated and reference dials, and replaceable feet. The three train SAT adds a fixed module which simulates a non-adjustable machine, but, the shaft can be offset and axially floated.

Features
