Predictive maintenance with PRUFTECHNIK Alignment Systems

The inventors of shaft alignment provide a wide range of professional products and services in alignment.

Are your machines accurately aligned?

The effect of increased coupling loading due to misalignment can readily be shown using infrared thermography. Not only does the flexible element coupling heat up, but the machines also develop elevated temperatures, particularly around the bearing housings.

: Within alignment tolerance

Only 7% of measured machines within acceptable tolerances

A survey conducted by one of the world's leading rotating equipment service organizations shows that less than 10% of the 160 machines randomly chosen for measurement were found to be aligned within acceptable limits. Under which category do your machines fall?

The biggest contribution for improving operating costs of rotating machinery is to align them correctly in the first place

Poorly aligned shafts are responsible for many machine problems: Tests have shown that incorrect alignment is the cause for around 50% of machine breakdowns.

Poor alignment or misalignment is the name given if the centrelines of two shafts don’t run in the same axis.
