TigerTek - Laser Alignment

Correct shaft alignment is required to avoid costly premature equipment breakdowns. TigerTek will send a fully equipped, laser alignment specialist to your plant. He will quickly setup, perform the necessary tests, take the necessary corrective measures (shimming, repositioning jack-bolts, etc) and then certify that the system is in full alignment.

Even small misalignments between rotating shafts will cause shafts to flex. This flexing or elastic bending as they rotate exerts abnormal forces on the bearings, couplings, and the shafts themselves. These forces lead to premature failures. Some typical problems would include: premature bearing, seal and coupling failure, excessive vibration, high bearing temperatures, excessive oil leakage at seals, loose foundation bolts, excessive coupling temperatures and wear, shafts breaking at the inboard bearings, etc.

In addition, in electric motors, this flexing alters the gap between the stator and rotor affecting their performance. TigerTek can take care of avoiding these problems for you.
