Understanding the Need for Offset Shaft Alignment
There are two parts that must be understood, proper phasing and angularity of the input and output shafts.

Shaft alignment of rotating equipment is an essential part of machinery maintenance. This machine shaft alignment video presents the concepts of OFFSET and ANGULARITY.
While at facilities across the country I noticed a lack of understanding regarding the need for precision alignment of offset shaft driven rotating equipment. I myself have seen electricians and mechanics alike becoming frustrated trying to determine the cause of speed fluctuations and vibration in offset shaft driven equipment.
