Parker Maritime has for many years been involved in alignment of machinery, pumps, fans, shafts etc. For this purpose the company has invested in the laser system, Fixturlaser XA, which is specially designed for such measurements. Modern high speed machinery demands an accurate alignment to achieve optimal economy. Poor alignment leads to faults in couplings, seals and bearings. This is the reason for approx. 50% of all breakdowns. Poor alignment can cause power consumption to be as much as 15% above normal. Printable version Shaft alignment, planes etc. |
