Misalignment was diagnosed as the source of elevated vibration levels of a critical plant machine. We took a baseline vibration measurement at each bearing, then performed an 18 hour Live Trend thermal growth study to determine the exact alignment targets. After correcting a significant soft foot, the alignment was set to compensate for thermal growth from cold to hot so the machines operate in perfect alignment. Post vibration data shows very low amplitudes proving the alignment was corrected properly. For more information contact us at www.shorelinealign.com or your local Pruftechnik Solutions Partner!
