Experts at Laser Alignment in Dallas have a great deal to offer many businesses in the region. When machine shafts are not properly aligned, any number of possible problems can easily develop. Keeping up with alignment through the regular use of laser-based measurement tools will rule such issues out.
Properly Aligned Shafts Make Many Potential Problems a Lot Less Likely
Machine shafts always need to be matched up carefully when new pieces of equipment are installed. It will also normally be prudent to arrange regular inspections thereafter along with any indicated adjustments. Specialists at laser alignment in Dallas are able to provide such services in ways that make the most possible sense for their clients. Relying on their assistance regularly will make problems with important parts and areas like the following a lot less likely.
- Bearings.
- Most machines include dozens or hundreds of individual bearings, and the failure of any one of these can easily be devastating. When a bearing seizes or develops a flat spot, a great deal of additional damage can easily follow. Misaligned shafts stress bearings unnecessarily, making wear and outright failure a lot more likely. Shafts that are properly aligned with regard to both angular orientation and placement will never inflict unnecessary strain on bearings.
- Welds and fasteners.
- The welds, bolts, rivets, and other means of fastening that hold most machines together will suffer when shafts are misaligned. A slight misalignment between shafts could open a small gap in a weld or loosen a number of fasteners. Over time, the play and weakness that result can easily lead to other problems that could end up causing breakdowns or worse. Once again, keeping up with shaft alignment will make such issues much less likely to arise.
- Air gaps.
- Many machines also include parts where a precise separation between other surfaces and components must be maintained. The vibrations caused by misaligned shafts can easily disrupt these carefully established air gaps and cause related problems.
