Fast, easy alignment
17 April 2013
The correct alignment of coupled and uncoupled shafts is critical says Schaeffler to achieve high efficiency and reliability of rotating equipment, yet about 20% of rotating equipment is incorrectly aligned. A handheld laser optical alignment device from the company is said to enable faster, easier alignment of shafts in a wide range of equipment.
