Alignment & 3D Measuring
What is alignment & 3D measurement? Resolving alignment problems in rotating equipment requires specialist knowledge, understanding and equipment.
Most machines are built in the same configuration where a driving machine is coupled to a driven machine. Whether to the pump and compressor gearbox or generator all these machines are driven by another component such as an electric motor, diesel or turbine.
Alignment & 3D Measuring
|
All machines are built to operate under optimal conditions, which means even equipment using flexible couplings must be accurately aligned along the machine centreline. Correct alignment of two coupled machines prevents increased load, wear, and vibration, protecting both the asset and surrounding components. |
Why it matters
Accurate alignment reduces mechanical stress, minimises vibration, and helps extend bearing, seal, and coupling life.

Alignment & 3D Measuring
Even machines with flexible couplings must be accurately aligned on the centreline. Correct alignment prevents increased load, wear, and vibration.
Reduced mechanical stress, lower vibration, and longer component life.

Benefits of alignment
Correct alignment minimises mechanical stress on couplings, extending service life.
Lower misalignment forces help prevent premature seal degradation.
Efficient power transmission reduces losses and operating costs.
Proper alignment lowers excitation forces that drive vibration and noise.
Stable machinery operation supports consistent process performance.
Reduced loads translate directly into longer bearing service intervals.
