This course is designed to familiarize participants with equipment and procedures for aligning shafts using the reverse dial method and using a laser system. After completing this course, participants should be able to prepare and set up equipment for a reverse dial alignment and for laser-based alignment. They should also be able to measure shaft misalignment and determine how the misalignment should be corrected. Finally, participants should be able to correct shaft misalignment so that the alignment is within specified tolerances.
Review the basic types of shaft misalignment.
Describe the arrangement of instruments used to perform a reverse alignment.
Describe the general types of preparations required for a shaft alignment using the reverse dial method.
Explain how to measure misalignment in the vertical plane using the reverse dial method.
Explain how to construct a graph representing misalignment in the vertical plane that is measured by the reverse dial method.
Describe how to correct misalignment in the vertical plane.
Explain how to measure misalignment in the horizontal plane using the reverse dial method.
Explain how to construct a graph representing misalignment in the horizontal plane that is measured by the reverse dial method.
Describe how to correct misalignment in the horizontal plane.
Explain how to determine if a shaft alignment is within tolerances.
Describe the basic parts and operation of a laser alignment system.
