Step 4 Precision alignment with a Dial Indicator

This video is about My Movie

[rinnhart]

Hey, I just wanna say, these basic videos, and their commentary, are really valuable in a contemporary era where I fucking forgot half of that millwright class, but suddenly need to explain precision motor alignment to a suit in the morning. Thanks, gents!

When doing an alignment, you should install the coupling element and turn both shafts together. This factors out any runout or surface deformities in the coupling hub.

Thank you for this video. Really helpful. This helped me from hours of studying :)

I'm about to do my first alignment. Without any advice from someone who knows how to do it. And it's a 60hp motor. Lol your helping me show up my boss

[funnystories]

I just wasted 3 hours in class doing my first coupling alignment lol now I'm here thanks for the great video

[ahmadparviz]

Good information thank you. However the longer side of dial indicator is used to read zero or any other number.

There are many factors for alignment two shafts, firts, the Rod SAG compensated measurement, them both shafts must be coupling for eliminate any runout condition, don't forget it the soft foot, saludos desde Sinaloa, México.

Great video - You mention book - where can I get a copy?

[slimmmerman]

You had 50 at 12:00 not 0 but other than that you have me totally confused... thanks for the refresher!You do realize that the long pointy end of the finger is the indicator?

[trevorlebert]

why not use the long needle for your zeroing on the dial indicator

Remember kiddies. Jack bolts are your friend.

Never indicate on a painted surface... get your chain under control theres a reason why that wiggler has a "ball " end... laying it on the side of the coupling isnt getting you a true reading should honestly pull your couplings and work off the shaft in this situation.... as its the shaft you are aligning... the coupling isnt as important as the shaft in this circumstance as its a flex coupling

Can you pls share a link to purchase that pump? I have been looking for the pump head

[ingDemurtas]

how did you do the horizontal move, without fucking up the horizontal angular alignment?

[jameslauinger]

Both shafts need to turned as one unit (at the same time) and your reading the dial with the Wrong end of the needle!

Thank you for this video. Really helpful. Can you please, send the name and author of the book that you shown and used in the video?

Great video mate, but it would be helpful if you showed a bit more of the actual moving of the motor. I would have like to see how your dealt with moving the motor over toward you without ruining the angular adjustment while you were at it. I am talking about the 90 a d 270 degrees points here.

I always struggled with that, I would get the angular adjustment correct and go to adjust the side to side and ruin my angular adjustment while I was doing that. Very frustrating. G'day from South Australia by the way.

I haven’t worked with pumps much but what would be the benefit of choosing this set up vs a C face motor and a flanged gear box where you don’t need to do all this alignment?

[carlloggins]

The face of the mating surface of the 2 part hub would have been a much better surface for your angular reading!

Great job!. Anyone know the name of the book he used?
