Pump Shaft Alignment and Why is it Necessary?


Pump shaft alignment is a process of aligning two or more shafts between a motor and a pump within a tolerated margin.

Power transmission from a motor to a pump is generated by the connection of the motor and pump shafts. This connection can be formed by using a straight shaft or through a flexible coupling.

Types of Pump Shaft Alignment Procedure

  • Straight Edge Alignment
  • Rim-Face Dial Indicator Alignment
  • Reverse Dial Indicator Alignment
  • Laser Alignment

What Is A Centrifugal Pump? How Does A Centrifugal Pump Work?

Image
  A pump is a device that is used to transfer many different types of incompressible fluids. Pumps are utilised for various uses across different industries and centrifugal pumps are one such type of pump.   A centrifugal pump is a hydraulically operated mechanical device that is made to transport fluids. It does this by converting the rotational kinetic energy to hydrodynamic energy of the flow of a fluid. The primary function of a centrifugal pump is to move fluids by increasing pressure.   In this blog, we are breaking down what exactly centrifugal pumps are and how they work.   Centrifugal pumps are some of the most commonly used industrial pumps today. This is mostly because of the ability to make use of them for many different uses and in many different industries, their ease of operation, ease of maintenance as well as a wide range of capacity.   Furthermore, centrifugal pumps are industrial pumps, which is why their design is simple but h...

Uses of Centrifugal Pumps

Image
Now we all know the importance of centrifugal pumps in different industries. To transfer hot oil to hazardous chemicals centrifugal pumps can transfer any liquids efficiently. The Question is why centrifugal pumps are so efficient? Centrifugal Process Pump is the most preferred hydraulic pump for industrial and domestic uses. It is used to move or raise the pressure of a liquid. A high-quality impeller which is used in our centrifugal pump rotates the liquid and the centrifugal force which is generated in the pump push the liquid to move out. The impeller is the device that rotates and transfers energy to the fluid. Our top-notch engineering team & modern technology help us to develop highly efficient centrifugal pumps for different industrial applications.

Pump Shaft Alignment and Why is it Necessary?

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you experience pump shaft failure or damage? Most probably, need for a stronger pump shaft.  No doubt that stronger is better, but that doesn’t address the problem. A stronger pump shaft may help with fewer failures, but the problem of pump shaft failure mainly happens due to the shaft’s misalignment. Running a pump with even the slightest shaft misalignment can cause vibrations resulting in bearing failure and pump shaft breakdown. Whereas properly aligned shafts reduce these vibrations, which improve reliability, prevent seal leakage, extend the bearing’s life, and avoid unnecessary failures. So if you want to achieve efficiency gains and extend your pumps’ service life, then the first thing to look after is correct pump shaft alignment.  With these in mind, let’s look at what pump alignment is, its importance, and how you can detect shaft misalignment as well as prevent it. By the end, you will have a firm understanding of how...
