Shaft Alignment Handbook, Second Edition (Mechanical Engineering)

This work offers essential, step-by-step guidelines for solving complex alignment tasks quickly and accurately. A comprehensive analysis of coupled, rotating machinery systems is provided. This edition features: extensive coverage of coupling design, installation and maintenance; reveals modern tactics for finding and correcting soft foot problems; discusses novel dial-indicator measurement techniques; and more. Topics of discussion include foundations, baseplates, machine casings, and piping strain, flexible and rigid couplings, alignment and coupling tolerances, shaft alignment techniques and measuring tools, aligning V-belt drives, and aligning multiple element drive trains and right angle drives.

Praise for the First Edition. . . . . .finally someone has come up with a well-written reference book, which reflects the current state-of-the-art methods and technology of alignment of rotating shafts. . . .every person involved with alignment of machinery should have a copy of this book.
