Machinery Alignment
Machinery alignment is the process of adjusting the position of rotating equipment components, like motors and pumps, so they are perfectly aligned along the same axis. Proper alignment ensures energy is efficiently transferred, minimizes wear and tear, and prevents mechanical failures. It involves precise measurements and adjustments to correct any misalignment caused by installation imperfections, ground settling, or wear over time. Regular alignment checks enhance the equipment's performance, extend its lifespan, and reduce maintenance costs, making it a critical aspect of reliable plant operation.
