All types of machines having shafts as an integral part of their structure, experience problems related to shaft alignment. Ustun is Marine Shaft alignment service have experience is a laser alignment method or procedure by which shafts of machines such as motors and reduction gears shafts are connected to a alternator/generator or proper alignment.
Improper alignment leads to increase of stresses in the shafts and thus on the equipment, which might result in break down of the machine.
Alignment of the shaft is necessary when the motor or driven machinery is new or when it is dismantled due to improper running. Moreover, as the name suggests, the main purpose of shaft alignment is to make sure that the center line of the motor rotor shaft coincides with the center line of the driven machinery i.e., propeller shaft or a alternator/generator. This, alignment is necessary to prevent vibrations and also to facilitate smooth running of the shaft.
The ship's engine room is full of such rotating equipment such as pumps, generators and so forth. It is therefore necessary for a marine engineer to have thorough knowledge about shaft alignment methods, techniques and concepts.
Ustun is Marine offering the full service about shaft alternators, reduction gear, generators
