Coupling Tolerances vs. Shaft Alignment Tolerances, revisited
We have several times discussed the differences between coupling alignment tolerances and precision shaft alignment tolerances. As stated in those text the coupling manufacture’s tolerances are for the coupling. As maintenance professionals we are concerned with the coupling, however we are more concerned with the bearings in the machines.
