[PDF] Shaft Alignment Handbook Third Edition by John Piotrowski

Maintaining these machines operating requires an intensive understanding their design and working envelope, cautious consideration throughout their set up and overhauls, the school to forestall or predict imminent failures, and the experience to change and improve present {hardware} to increase its working lifespan. Previously 30 years, simply half of the rotating tools issues I’ve skilled had one thing to do with misaligned shafts. Moreover, working rotating tools underneath misalignment situations will be harmful.

I’ve seen a coupling burst aside on a 500 hp, 3600 rpm course of pump that actually sheared a 10 in. pipe in half and coupling items landed 400 yards away from its level of origin. Understand that rotor speeds above 100,000 rpm and drivers pushing 60,000þ hp at the moment are commonplace. With the entire rotating equipment in existence, you’ll assume that shaft misalignment is nicely understood and that everybody who’s concerned with putting in, sustaining, and working this tools is nicely versed in stopping this.

When in actual fact, simply the alternative is true. The knowledge contained on this e-book isn’t taught in any excessive colleges or junior faculties, isn’t a required course for mechanical engineers, isn’t mentioned in enterprise colleges, and is usually not taught in commerce colleges for mechanics, millwrights, pipe fitters, or electricians. Over the previous 100 years, lots of of technical books and articles have been revealed on rotor balancing, versatile coupling design, vibration evaluation, structural dynamics, and industrial productiveness.

The primary technical article on shaft alignment, however, was not revealed till after World Warfare II and never till the late 1960s did anybody start being attentive to this. I really feel very lucky to have been granted the chance to work in a wide selection of various industries and the lots of of various plant websites after research on the College of Pittsburgh in 1974 as a shiny eyed, keen, fledgling mechanical engineer. Again then, I had no concept what number of gifted, affected person individuals I’d have the pleasure working with over the following 32 years.
