  What is misalignment? Misalignment means you have too much offset and angularity between two shaft center lines of rotation. What can cause machine misalignment? Improper installation, foundation issues, failing to account for thermal growth, pipe stress, load stresses, soft foot, or machine frame distortion. The effects of misalignment are high vibration, premature equipment failures, increased power consumption, and reduced production. There’s no excuse to let misalignment cost you money. Protect your machines and minimize costly downtime with precision laser shaft alignment. We look forward to serving your maintenance and reliability needs. Keep it running!
