Machinery Diagnostics Courses - Alignment

Alignment Fundamentals

This course covers all aspects of basic shaft alignment. Machinery malfunctions can only be corrected after the causes of a problem have been correctly identified. Students learn the skills to identify alignment-related symptoms as well as to accurately conduct and document alignment using both rim and face reverse dial indication techniques. Rounding out the course are topics on couplings and laser alignment.
Course Objectives
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
  • Identify problems caused by misalignment.
  • Accomplish pre-alignment checks.
  • Demonstrate various coupling techniques and types.
  • Identify specific vibration characteristics associated with alignment related malfunctions.
  • Record and plot graphical solutions for reverse dial indicator readings using shaft alignment training kits.
  • Calculate and incorporate the thermal growth, then extract target dial indicator readings that will result in optimum hot alignment.
Course Length
  • 3 days
Materials Provided
