e report about the State of the Industry in our annual January issue to gain insight into market trends, obstacles, concerns and growth potential. As we highlight corporate capabilities this month (page 15), we decided to explore an industry update. Is the economy really improving? “The consensus is ‘Yes,’” according to Grundfos Pumps USA President Dennis Wierzbicki. “But it will be a slow climb. Inventories and cash management continue as they did in 2009. Manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers and contractors continue to manage inventories closely, which puts a premium on those who have inventories and can respond to market needs. “As usual, certain market sectors are showing signs of improvement. Even residential homes are beginning to move in certain states, as well as specific industrial markets. 2010 will continue to be a slow climb for the industry, but optimism for the long term also continues.” The Gulf of Mexico oil spill has significantly slowed offshore activities and suggests continued investments in onshore activities in North America, says Weir Oil & Gas Division VP of Business Development Bill Tipton. “Economic recovery in the U.S. will continue to support sustainability of current rebound oil & gas market trends (drilling, well completions, etc), and pricing will reflect higher energy

demands to support recovery,” he says. “Investment in technology innovations with a focus on more durable products is critical to support the horizontal/directional drilling with hydraulic fracturing markets. We expect pricing improvements to continue with service companies in the North American sector.” From the perspective of the end user, “Vendors and reps seem to have gone one of two ways,” explains Brian Cummings, E/M trainer for Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission. “Some have decided it is time to tighten their belts. Those who have not downsized are falling all over themselves and being as helpful as they can with anything they can. It is like night and day. “Also, things like automation, simpler and less time-consuming maintenance, reliability and longevity are more important now than ever. Unfortunately, for the short-sighted purchaser, the importance of keeping a low initial cost has increased. When it comes to developing training material you can only get two out of three of the following: good, fast or cheap.” Pumps & Systems will continue to keep an eye on the health of the pump industry. Let us know what you are experiencing in your business. Best Regards,

AC Power (Part Three): AC Circuit Loads Third of four parts AC Circuit Loads

Current & Voltage In Sync

L

ast month we discussed the relationship between voltage and frequency and tried to make that somewhat complex three phase sine wave a bit more understandable. his month we will quickly look at the load types that comprise a typical AC circuit. hree basic loads occur in AC circuits—resistive, inductive and capacitive (and various combinations of the three). As it sounds, a resistive load consists purely of a resistance. Electrical resistance is simply a measurement of the opposition to the passage of current (electrons). Resistance is directly proportional to the internal resistivity of the material and its length and is inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area. Resistive circuit examples include water heaters, irons, electric ranges and even incandescent lighting—almost anything that is designed to generate heat. Inductive loads, on the other hand, produce induced currents that oppose the low of primary current in the circuit. his opposition to current change is diferent than resistance and is called reactance. Inductive circuit examples include electric motors, generators, solenoids and transformers. Capacitive loads act exactly opposite of inductive loads and retard the low of voltage. Examples include true capacitors (condensers), piezoelectric devices and metal oxide semiconductors. hese three loads have a very diferent efect upon the low of voltage and current in an AC circuit.

Figure 2

Resistive Circuits In the case of a resistive load, AC loses much of its mystique and behaves much like DC. Although there is no such thing as a purely resistive AC circuit, many are close enough that they will follow Ohm’s law (I = E/R where I is current in amps, E is voltage and R is resistance in Ohms). Figure 1 shows a simple circuit with a 60 ohm resistance fed by 120 VAC. Using Ohm’s law, we can calculate the current in the circuit to be 2 amps. he power that the circuit dissipates (as heat) is simply the product of volts times amps, or 240 watts. If we did not know the voltage in the circuit, we could calculate it by measuring the current. If I is 2 amps, then E = IR or 120 V. he reason that these calculations are so simple can be explained by the relationship of the voltage, current and power curves seen in Figure 2. Figure 2 shows the low of voltage (blue), current (red) and power (green) in a simple resistive circuit such as the one shown in Figure 1. In a purely resistive circuit, voltage and current rise and fall together in a synchronous fashion. he reason this occurs is that a resistance continuously opposes the low of current in a circuit regardless of whether the voltage is DC or AC. Because of this continuous opposition, current lows in phase with voltage. At every point above

the x axis, both voltage and current are positive, and at every point below the x axis, both are negative. he green curve represents the power (in watts) dissipated as heat in the circuit and is the product of the voltage and current at any point on the x axis. Note that the power curve is always positive except at those points where voltage and current pass through zero. Even when both current and voltage are negative, power is still positive because the product of two negative quantities results in a positive quantity. herefore, power is consumed at all points except those where the waves pass through zero. Even though the wave forms are still a bit complex, their synchronous relationships make a resistive circuit relatively understandable.

lows counter clockwise. he counterclockwise low of the secondary current (often called back emf ) opposes the normal low of current and causes current to lag voltage in the circuit. his opposition to a change in primary current is known as reactance. Figure 5 shows the low of voltage (blue), current (red) and power Figure 3 (green) in a purely inductive circuit. he opposite low of the induced secondary current impedes the low of primary current and causes it to lag voltage by 90 deg or one quarter cycle. he power curve shows the overall efect of reactance. Note that it is positive during every other quarter cycle and negative during the quarter cycles in between. he RMS values of the positive and negative portions of Figure 4 the curve are also equal. During the positive quarter cycles, the circuit is storing power as the magnetic ield and during the negative cycles the ield dissipates and returns Inductive Circuits power to the source. herefore, a purely inductive circuit conInductive loads could not be more diferent.

Once a DC inductive circuit is Power energized, current lows steadily in a single direction and no secondary current is induced. Figure 4 (from Collaboration for NDT Education) provides a clearer picture of how this occurs. In this example, primary current (red) is shown lowing clockwise through the loops in the coil. Its low gives rise to a magnetic ield (blue) in the irst loop. he magnetic ield induces a secondary current (green) in the second loop that Figure 5

Pump Ed 101 plate acquires a negative charge while the other acquires a positive charge, but no current lows through it once the capacitor is fully charged. If that same capacitor is connected to an AC voltage, an alternating current will low continuously. Figure 6 is a simple, purely capacitive AC circuit. A charge cannot low between the two plates since they are insulated from each other, so it seems a bit unusual that a continuing AC current exists in the circuit. he reason current lows in a capacitive circuit when AC is applied is because those charged plates change their polarity each time the AC sine wave reverses direction. his causes the charge to low to and from the two plates. herefore, the two plates of the capacitor are continuously charging and discharging and current lows continuously. Figure 7 shows the low of voltage and current in a purely capacitive circuit. he low relationship is exactly opposite that of the inductive circuit and current is seen leading voltage by 90 deg. Although power is not shown, it would look like the power curve in the inductive example, and the circuit consumes no power. he degree to which charging impedes voltage is called capacitive reactance (XC), and it is measured in ohms like resistance and inductive reactance.

RLC Circuits and Impedance Although some circuits consist of a single load type, most are combinations and are referred to as RLC circuits. Because of the inluence of the inductive and capacitive loads, Ohms law (E = IR) does not apply. Instead resistance (R) is replaced with impedance (Z), and impedance takes into account both inductive and capacitive reactance. he equation takes the form of E = IZ and Z is equal to √R2+(XL-XC)2 (where R is resistance, XL is inductive reactance and XC is capacitive reactance). he square root sign encompasses the entire equation. As you can see, XC is subtracted from XL as its voltage lagging efect compensates for the current lagging efect of XL. If the two are equal, they cancel each other, and the circuit is purely resistive. In circuits where XC is greater than XL, the negative sum is squared and produces a positive number that is added to the square of R. he square root of that sum gives us the circuit’s actual impedance. Power factor describes how efectively the loads in a circuit can use the power available and is directly related to inductive and capacitive reactance. We will not discuss power factor here because I have covered this important AC topic in the past. Please see my June and July 2007 P&S articles on power factor for a detailed discussion.

Before any sophisticated troubleshooting methods are applied, most experienced mechanics simply feel the units to see if the motor (or pump) “feels hot,” “runs rough” or “does not feel right.” here is little science behind these phrases, but years of experience and intuition often get the job done well. In fact, relying on too much technology may play tricks on you, as I encountered recently. A main inluent wastewater system consisted of six pumps, with one or two typically operating on a normal (relatively dry) day (see Figure 1). he two-step starting sequence for these units involved getting the unit to 436 rpm, and then on to 511 rpm, after some stabilization delay time. At 4,160 volts, the motor trip was set at 89 amps. Normal, full-speed operation produced 54 mgd (million gallons per day) low, with 83 amps motor current. At these conditions, the pump developed 25 psi. Secondary motor windings were rated at 1,040 volts, 275 amps. A “good” pump (#6) operated ine at full speed, producing rated low and pressure, with the amps at three phases showing good current balance of 83/83/83 amps. he “bad” one could not get past the low speed region (436 rpm), showing 86/90/86 amps, which would delay the motor tripping. he low was reading 31 mgd at 25 psi diferential

pressure as maintained by the stronger #6 pump. My irst check was to see if the pump low and head corresponded to the lowered speed, as indeed is conirmed in Figure 2. At 436 rpm, the pump intersected the 25 psi system curve at about 31 mgd, which is what the pump lowmeter was registering. In other words, the pump was hydraulically ine. My next investigation was how the pump and/or motor felt. By hand, the vibrations felt ine, and the bearing housings did not feel hot. To make sure, I did a quick, full spectral vibration measurement on both pumps’ housings (see Figure 3). Expecting (hoping) to see signiicantly higher vibrations on pump #5, I was puzzled to see the overall (RMS) level of vibrations at 0.075 in./sec for the (“good”) #6 pump, but only 0.047 in./sec for the (“bad”) #5 pump. he “bad” pump had lower vibrations, yet it had higher amps tripping the motor. As a side note, Figure 1. 600 hp (1.15 SF) motor is connected by a set of the segmental U-jointed shafting to the pump in practice, anything at the bottom of the dry well.

below 0.1 in./sec (RMS, overall) would normally not trigger a concern (the diference between 0.075 and 0.047 in./sec values is essentially academic), so both pumps, according to the overall vibration levels, would be considered non-problematic. Yet, #5 was tripping the motor. My next observation was the unbalance of amps on unit #5 (86/90/86 amps), i.e., roughly 5 percent current unbalance. Although electricians did not feel the value of such unbalance was an issue, it was the only remaining issue I could see possibly causing the problem. My conclusion was to check the electric side irst— motor, contactors, relays, etc. Wrong! Electrical inspection showed no problems. he pump rotor was inally pulled. Surprise! he nut holding the impeller was loose. he impeller moved down and was rubbing the wear rings of the casing by the impeller shroud. Furthermore, the shaft was slightly bent, as veriied by the run-out inspection.

Conclusion For medium- to high-energy pumps operating at low speed, vibration detection alone may not always reveal the root cause of the problem. Low speed may also not reveal the problem via elevated temperature of the windings or bearing housings. Additional power (amps) could be coming from the grinding away of the contacting wear rings, despite the fact that all other parameters of both pump and motor may remain at the acceptable (low) level. his would be similar to the low vibration of a vertical milling machine slowly milling away a metal plate—at low RPM and low feed rate— Figure 3. Full vibration spectral analysis indicated low overall vibrations and running smooth, yet grinding metal away. spectral harmonics essentially within the “noise” level. In retrospect, after closer examination of the vibration signatures, some clues perhaps could be seen in the discrete multiples of the harmonics (1X, 2X, 3X, 4X, etc.), which often suggest the presence of internal component looseness. However, due to the overall values being so low and essentially within the noise level (noise is typically under ~0.02 in./sec), these peaks were disregarded as insigniicant. P&S

Skinner Engine Company: The Later Years

he origins of today’s Skinner Power Systems, LLC, date back to the years shortly after the U.S. Civil War. It was early in the era of steam power. Inventors and entrepreneurs of the time were tinkering with new ways to harness steam power to run machinery to mass produce goods and bring economic beneits to a growing nation.

Skinner Engine Company: The Early Years One of those enterprising individuals was inventor Le Grand Skinner who, in 1868, founded the Skinner Engine Company and began building steam engines in a plant at Herkimer, N.Y. In 1873 he opened a manufacturing plant in Erie, Pa., and moved the company’s headquarters there not long thereafter. From Erie, Skinner had ample access to railroads and waterways to ship products to an expanding customer base. Skinner’s product, the steam engine, converted the energy in steam to mechanical power by injecting steam into a cylinder to drive a piston back and forth. his mechanical power was then used to drive other machinery. Early on, the irm’s engines of various sizes and conigurations attracted a large clientele from a wide range of applications including manufacturers, food processors, lumber mills and paper mills. Not

one to rest on his laurels, in 1910 Le Grand studied unalow (also “unilow”) engines in Germany and returned to Erie to develop his own version in 1911. Skinner’s unalow engines were its most widely sold design, working well in landbased and marine applications. In fact, during World War II Skinner unalow engines were installed on more than 120 U.S. navy ships. Skinner set high standards for product quality and performance by establishing an unconditional guarantee for his irm’s products. If a steam engine failed to generate the promised power output when installed, the customer got to keep it without cost. It is reported that he never had to honor a guarantee for failing to meet the guaranteed performance. he company expanded under Skinner’s leadership for 54 years until his death in 1922. he traditions of quality products, solid customer service and innovation that were established at the company’s outset remained throughout these years and continued as the management of the company passed irst to Skinner’s son Allen, a shrewd marketing innovator, and then in 1949 to Allen’s son J. Le Grand.

The late LeGrand Skinner, founder of Skinner Engine Company

In the 1950s, the company added industrial mixers to its product portfolio and was serving customers in Canada and South America in addition to the United States. But with the death of J. Le Grand Skinner in 1963, the Skinner Engine Company was sold to Patterson Industries, a Cleveland, Ohio, based company, which among other things manufactured a line of industrial pumps. Around this time, Patterson also acquired the Dean Hill Pump Company, a manufacturer of steam turbines and industrial pumps, based in Indianapolis, Ind. Dean Hill had a long history and favorable reputation, having been formed after World War I when the Hill Turbine Company merged with Dean Brothers Pump Company to become the Dean Hill Pump Company. Over the next four decades Dean Hill manufactured nearly 20,000 turbines and pumps. By the early 1960s, Dean Hill expanded to overseas markets and established an international presence by granting a manufacturing license to Manubat, a company located in France. In the mid-1960s, Patterson closed the Dean Hill plant in Indianapolis and transferred all pump and turbine manufacturing to the Skinner operation in Erie. Now Skinner had four product lines: steam engines, steam turbines, pumps and industrial mixers. With the exception that both steam engines and steam turbines use steam to create mechanical power, the two products are totally diferent from each other. Developed at the turn of the twentieth century, a steam turbine has no cylinder or piston. It converts the energy in the steam to mechanical power by injecting the steam into a case containing a bladed wheel mounted on a shaft. Steam is channeled and directed against the blades on the wheel causing the wheel to turn. PUMPS & SYSTEMS

his rotary motion is used to drive other machinery. In 1968, Banner Industries, another Ohio-based company, acquired Patterson Industries. In 1973 Banner reorganized its operations, moving all pump production from Skinner in Erie to a plant in Georgia. his left Skinner with the steam engine, steam turbine and industrial mixer product lines. By the mid1980s, Banner Industries was struggling. Although Skinner was proitable, Banner decided to sell the Skinner operations in Erie. In 1986, Gerald A. (Tony) Ryan, an Erie entrepreneur, and several other investors formed Ryco Holding, Inc., which acquired Skinner from Banner Industries. Ryan, the CEO and principal owner of Skinner Engine Company, guided Skinner into the global export business for turbines and turbine generator sets. Under Ryan’s leadership, Skinner’s total annual sales rose from about $10 million to $17 million by the late 1990s. In 1998, Ryco Holding, Inc., sold Skinner Engine Company to American Commercial Holdings, Inc., a Lexington, Ky.-based company. Unfortunately, a couple of years later a worldwide recession took its toll on Skinner’s sales, and in 2002 American Commercial Holdings decided to sell of the Skinner product lines.

Skinner Power Systems, LLC: Today In 2002, Klaus P. Fischer, a retired vice president of Elliott Company in Jeannette, Pa., was looking for a new business opportunity when he learned of Skinner Engine Company’s turbine capabilities and determined that there was a sales growth opportunity for Skinner turbines. With several associates, Fischer formed Skinner Power Systems, LLC. He wanted to continue the “Skinner” name because it represented a lengthy tradition of reliable products, innovation, fair price and support for customer operations.

hese were the values that Fischer would incorporate into the new organization. In November 2002, Skinner Power Systems, LLC, purchased the turbine product line from the old Skinner Engine Company. he transaction included all of the Skinner and Dean Hill turbomachinery technology and sales and service. he new irm set up its headquarters and manufacturing operations at its current Erie location in a modern 14,000 sq ft facility. Today, the current Skinner steam turbine line includes models that range from 0.5 to 3,000 hp (0.3 to 2238 kW) and all pressures and temperatures to 900 psig and 900 deg F (63 kg/cm2g and 482 deg C) inlet and 175 psig (12 kg/cm2g) backpressure. Existing users of Skinner or Dean Hill equipment have a few unique options. Virtually any part for older Skinner or Dean Hill turbines, no matter where it was originally manufactured, can be sourced through the Skinner Power Systems facility in Erie, Pa. Equipment that may be half a century old can be replaced basically with the same type of turbine, with modern upgrades as a factory standard. In many instances, the old Dean Hill turbines can be replaced with the Skinner SB series line, ofering the simplicity of ball bearing rotors, low initial cost and exceptionally high reliability, with absolute minimum maintenance downtime.

Another major facet of its new equipment business today is packaging its turbines with other machinery, such as electric generators, pumps, fans and compressors. In particular, Skinner builds turbine generator packages up to 2 MW in size. Company specialists can recommend ideal system equipment conigurations and speciications to satisfy customer operating objectives. Additional services available from Skinner include repairing and rebuilding older units. All internal components can be replaced with new parts built to original speciications. Upon completion of the re-building, the units are tested with live steam, the same as for new turbine systems. Customers are supported by skilled technical support and service personnel that are dedicated to maintaining customer equipment reliability. Vital replacement parts can be supplied from its parts department on short notice. hrough its years as a supplier of quality turbines, the irm has supplied thousands of turbines to operate customer compressors, electric generators, pumps, mills, fans, blowers and other equipment. he company’s customers include reineries, petrochemical plants, pulp and paper mills, food processing plants, steel mills, sugar mills, palm oil mills, and medical and educational facilities. Time has not dimmed the commitment of today’s Skinner Power Systems to extend and further enhance those traditions and values that were established by Le Grand Skinner more than a century ago.

S

ynchrony, Inc., is a technology leader in the development and delivery of magnetic bearings and high-speed motors and power conversion systems. he company brings a spirit of engineering excellence, bold innovation and creativity to improving rotating machinery.

Clean. Efficient. Reliable. hese attributes are often used to describe magnetic bearings. With no need for lubricants, with no mechanical wear or friction and with the capability to tailor bearing characteristics to optimize performance, it is no wonder that there is growing excitement about using magnetic bearings in high-performance machinery. his is especially true today, where there is much focus on improving the utilization of energy using ecofriendly technolog oggie ies es. s. technologies.

he truth is that the h advantages of magnetic bearings have been known for a long time. he principle of using electromagnets, sensors and active electronics to suspend objects without mechanical contact was demonstrated by Jesse Beams at the University of Virginia in the 1950s. Despite the long history of magnetic bearings, today only a small fraction of rotating machinery is supplied with magnetic bearings.

What Is the Reluctance Toward the Widespread Use of this Technology? We believe that in the past, the acceptance of magnetic bearings was impeded because the bearings did not meet basic 40 AUGUST 2010

engineering criteria related to performance, simplicity, size and cost. Performance Magnetic bearings must be unconditionally stable for just about any operating condition of the host machine. his includes conditions of high dynamic loading caused by surge, stall, ingestion of liquid slugs, cavitation, motor electrical faults and other transient conditions. Simplicity Magnetic bearings must be easily integrated into new and existing designs of rotating machinery. To facilitate this integration, the bearings should be ofered in

controllers should be miniaturized so that they can be mounted on or near the machine to reduce the length of cables, reduce EMI, reduce the time to calibrate the bearings and reduce the footprint of the magnetic bearing system. Cost he decision to use magnetic bearings instead of oil-lubricated bearings should be economically justiied based on a return on investment (ROI) analysis of acquisition and operating costs. he value of the magnetic bearing system is the elimination of the oil lubrication system, the reduction in process downtime, longer machine life, improved machine eiciency and the reduction in maintenance costs.

At Synchrony, Our Passion Is to Massively Increase the Use of Magnetic Bearings for Existing and New Applications.

standard sizes sizes, be easy to mechanically and electrically integrate into the machine and be accurately modeled using standard techniques. Additionally, the bearings should be simple to optimize and operate and interface with other plant systems for process control, health monitoring and trending. he size, quantity and length of cables between the controller and the magnetic bearings should be kept to a minimum. he overall complexity of the magnetic bearing should be hidden from the machine designer or end user. Size he magnetic bearings should be as small as possible to facilitate integration into the rotating machine. he magnetic bearing www.pump-zone.com

hrough a series of design innovations that began when Synchrony was created in 1993, we have systematically improved the performance, simplicity, size and value of magnetic bearings to the point that our systems are now used in many new applications that were not possible just a couple years ago. We are seeing rapid acceptance of our products as more customers experience the attributes of magnetic bearings—clean, eicient and reliable.

J

ust about all industrial machines or processes are driven by an electric motor. If you monitor the load on the motor, it will give you valuable information about what is happening inside the machine or process.

Mixers or Agitators When viscosity changes, the load on the mixer motor also changes. A “load proile” of a good batch provides a template that future batches should take.

Pumps he more liquid that you pump, the more power it takes. However, if the pump runs dry, the power drops right of. Many pumps don’t do well when they run dry. A load control can stop the pump before expensive damage is done.

he best way to know the load is to measure the motor power. (Power is measured in horsepower or watts.) It gives you a straight line, so it works well even when the motor is lightly loaded. he power sensors that we make measure the motor load (Horsepower or Watts) and send a signal to meters or computers. A load control also measures motor power, but it has built-in relays and set points. You can adjust the set point so that when the load on the motor reaches the set point, a relay will trip. Load Controls, Inc., supplies the controllers and monitors you need to measure and monitor motor power. For example for pump protection, our PMP-25 Pump Load Control guards against dry running, cavitation and

overload. It monitors true pump power for maximum sensitivity and the power, trip points and delays are all displayed. he enclosure is small enough to it on size one starters and can be door, panel or wall mounted.

Sims Pump Valve Company, Inc.

T

he year was 1919. he place was the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, N.Y. Admiral Sims and his brother launched the Sims Pump Valve Company by inventing a valve for

use in reciprocating pumps. From the outset, the company ofered a unique guarantee of customer satisfaction that continues to this day. In 1945, the inherent clattering of

the reciprocating pump valve caused by the pump rotator pounding against the disk led the company to invent the Simsite® disk. Made from the company’s own patented structural composite material, it was one of the irst composites on the market. In 1955, recognizing that conventional metal impellers were subject to electrolysis, corrosion, erosion, and unbalance problems when used in services such as salt or brackish water, Sims introduced Simsite casing rings and impellers. Outlasting traditional bronze and stainless components by years, they extended the entire pump life.

Major Products/Services Sims has been producing Simsite advanced composite pumps, impellers and wear rings since 1961.hese pumps and parts have many advantages over metallic ones, including increased performance, lighter weight (1/6th metal), corrosion, erosion and cavitation resistance, self-lubricating characteristics and the Simsite advantage—the ability to adjust performance, increase or decrease low rate, head or NPSHR. he company’s products include a complete range of precision-machined pumps, wet ends and replacement parts for the ANSI, vertical-sump and vertical-turbine markets. Sims also upgrades impellers. At Sims, two traditions still go handin-hand: he guarantee behind each of the company’s products and the more than 80 years of service and experience that back it up.

ibrAlign sells, rents and services a full range of laser alignment and measurement tools. In addition, VibrAlign fields a team of highly experienced service providers who are respected as experts in vibration analysis, balancing and machinery alignment. VibrAlign, Inc., is the U.S. distributor of the Fixturlaser line of laser measurement and alignment systems. Fixturlaser AB has been in the alignment business since 1980. Twenty-six years ago Fixturlaser developed its first laser alignment system. The proof of Fixturlaser’s success is that, today, Fixturlaser systems are used in more than 70 countries around the globe. Our flagship laser alignment system is the Fixturlaser XA. The XA is designed to get alignments done fast. . . really fast. The system incorporates on-screen

Flash® animations that actually walk the user through the alignment process! Our newest system is the midrange Fixturlaser GO. The GO reflects Fixturlaser’s “Express Alignment” philosophy in its design and technology. Express Alignment recognizes that alignment tools like the GO and the XA are not used every day by maintenance and service professionals. Therefore, the GO and XA are designed with interfaces and functions that once learned are easy to remember. The user doesn’t have to relearn how to perform an alignment every time he picks up the instrument. The value end of the range is represented by the Shaft Hog. The Shaft Hog’s live display means that you get instant feedback when shimming or moving the machines. Great accuracy and ease of use at an affordable price.

Shaft Alignment

Innovative technology in the Fixturlaser XA and GO means there’s no faster way to complete alignment! Innovations like over-sized digital detectors, line lasers, and True Position Sensing (TPS). TPS allows the XA and the GO to compensate for both intended AND unintended movements of the moveable

machine made during the alignment process. The result? Alignments usually can be completed in just one set of horizontal and vertical moves without re-measurement in between. Now that’s fast.

Contact VibrAlign today to see how fast alignment can be. www.vibralign.com 800-379-2250

In addition to laser shaft alignment, we offer the Belt Hog sheave alignment tool. The Belt Hog’s dual lasers sit right in the pulley grooves where power is transmitted, which means that the Belt Hog delivers the best alignment possible. And the Belt Hog can be used without removing the belts or the belt guard. We have personnel located in key cities throughout the U.S. and experienced service providers ready to travel whenever and wherever customers call.
