Shaft Alignment Tool for In-Line Drive Systems

link to math



Keeping your rotating equipment in line - can add years to your equipment's life span. When misaligned machinery is allowed to operate uncorrected, the resulting vibration will eventually cause bearing, shaft, seal and coupling failures. Your company loses two ways: first in the outlay of funds to repair or replace the machinery, and, more importantly, you lose productivity and income every hour the machine is down.



Peterson Alignment tools utilize the Rim and Face Method of Shaft Alignment, far and away the most common method - more accurate than straight edge or magnetic base systems and much less expensive than laser alignment tools.

What you get is an alignment system that can handle virtually any alignment job you can throw at it.
