Proper shaft alignment of directly coupled machines has proven to be one of the greatest money savers for machinery-intensive industries over the last 25 years. When poorly done, usually for lack of ...

Out-of-position anchor bolts occur when the measured deviation or variation from the specified location or alignment exceeds the specified construction tolerance. To avoid schedule delays and costs ...

Packaging is a critical factor which affects cost in optoelectronic systems. Currently, submicron tolerances on optical fiber and optical free space components are common, resulting in expensive ...

Jerry Thrift, manager of new product development at Ryder Systems in Miami, Fla., knows how much shortened tire life costs, and he's done something about it: Ryder developed its own internal alignment ...

The objective of optimized shaft alignment is to increase the operating life span of rotating machinery. To achieve this goal, components that are the most likely to fail must be made to operate ...

Design refinements boost performance of self-aligning ball bushing while maintaining their error-correcting nature.
