The objective of optimized shaft alignment is to increase the operating life span of rotating machinery. To achieve this goal, components that are the most likely to fail must be made to operate ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Couplings transfer power by connecting two shafts at the ends to transmit torque. While there are six degrees of ...

How does coupling selection affect productivity in today's automation environment? Bill • Rexnord: Selecting couplings for servo systems can be a daunting task. Some systems can detect errors as small ...

High vibration is a common problem for motors installed on top of vertical pumps. Its source can stem from a mechanical issue with the pump, motor, or coupling — or even hydraulic forces from the pump ...
