Explanation:
One method of aligning machine shafts is through the use of the Face & Rim Dial Indicator Method, whereby, by obtaining TIR readings in the Horiztonal & Vertical Planes, machine feet movements to reach the desired alignment tolerances is obtained either graphically or numerically.Simply enter the required Machine Dimensions, and Dial Guage Indicator Readings, then click the Generate Machine Movements and the Plot Shaft Centerlines Buttons to calculate the required machine movements, and generate the alignment movements graph, respectively.
Please be mindful of the measurements and dimensions units. Two options are presently available; either English Imperial Units: in Thou and inches, or SI Units in mm and cm. Go to the English Units (Mils/Inches) Calculator Here
