Belt Alignment Cost Savings
A common misunderstanding is that sheave/pulleys are not affected dramatically by misalignments. If you have ever seen those black piles of rubber building up under a pulley, you know this is not true. Sheave/pulley alignment in all size motors can extend the life of belts and chains, eliminating costly repairs and downtime.
Simple Steps to Start a Successful Machine Alignment
It doesn’t matter if you are using laser tools or dial indicators, if you performing precision alignment on shaft or belt driven machines, there are some simple steps you can take for pre-alignment to make the job easier and the outcome better.
