Sustainability has become a defining priority across industrial and maritime operations. While much of the discussion centers ...

A Swedish and Dutch invention aims to eliminate misalignment, modernizing today’s shaft alignment practice. The Dynaligner is said to offer trouble free operation of marine propulsion trains, ...

Accurate alignment saves energy and costs. Did you know that shaft misalignment accounts for nearly half of all expenses related to rotating machinery breakdowns? By accurately aligning the shafts of ...

Data from PdM programs across mining and aggregates facilities reveals a clear pattern. The following five fault types are ...

Productivity is a shared goal in industrial applications involving designers, component makers, and end users. Everyone plays a role. In this report, Motion System Design editors polled coupling and ...

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 ...

All rotating equipment power trains found in a power plant have some amount of vibration, usually caused by mechanical unbalance of the rotating system, shaft misalignment, or weakness in the bearing ...

Motor and drive system technology continues to advance throughout the industry. Oftentimes, this increased complexity presents a challenge to the teams who are making sure the equipment runs at peak ...

Excessive heat — especially when it relates to motors — is a killer, but infrared thermography can identify this deadly condition. All motors get hot when they operate, but sometimes it's difficult to ...

The difference between flexible shaft couplings and rigid shaft couplings is not just in the terminology but in adsorption of torque. Shaft alignment is key to preventing unnecessary wear and damage ...

Maintaining alignment requires regular monitoring, and SKF’s TKSA laser-guided shaft alignment systems are designed for novices as well as experienced users, with built-in procedures that cover ...
