Shaft Alignment - Solved Examples

This document provides an example of using the three dial indicator method to align two machines. Key details include: - Dial indicator readings are recorded from the inner and outer boards of both the stationary and adjustable machines. - Calculations are done to account for indicator bar sag and zero readings. - Analysis finds the adjustable machine is lower by 0.05mm and face gap is 0.08mm wider at top and 0.04mm wider at left. - Vertical solution calculates values for X and Y and recommends removing 0.05mm of shims. Horizontal solution also calculates X and Y and recommends pushing the inner board 0.04mm left.
