Wave alignment with the laser
Shaft alignment is essential to ensure that the drivetrain functions optimally. Perfect shaft alignment is essential to avoid expensive repairs or even breakdowns. In this article, we at PMP explain the advantages of shaft alignment with a laser and present our services in the field of alignment control.
What is laser wave alignment?
In almost every industrial application, shaft-hub connections play an important role in mechanical engineering and must ensure efficient and safe torque and power transmission.
There are a large number of variants, which are divided into three groups: form-fit, material-fit and friction-fit connections. The Fastex series from Flender expands the product range with backlash-free and compact clamping elements for frictional connections and thus offers a further option for connecting shafts and hubs in addition to the classic keyway connection.
The new clamping elements from Flender are characterized by a higher power density and ensure reliable transmission of torques, axial forces and bending moments compared to keyway connections. The more compact dimensioning of the components, material savings and machining options through the use of unused shafts and low surface pressures on the contact surfaces ensure a connection that is gentle on components and increases the cost-effectiveness, efficiency and safety of industrial applications.
Clamping elements for torque transmission - selection and technical framework conditions
The selection of the correct clamping elements for torque transmission depends on various technical conditions. The positioning of the clamping elements in the hub and the width of the hub itself have a direct influence on the transmission performance.
When selecting clamping elements, the installation situation and the required nominal torque must also be taken into account. It may be the case that the transmission capacity is reduced due to the installation situation, meaning that a different clamping element must be used that has a higher power density or allows a different positioning.
Nevertheless, there are applications in which the same clamping elements can often be used. However, the technical framework conditions should always be taken into account in order to ensure optimum torque transmission.

Advantages of laser-assisted shaft alignment
PMP offers laser-assisted shaft alignment solutions for various application areas such as the marine sector, the energy sector and industry in general. We offer you comprehensive know-how and modern equipment to ensure optimal measurement results and support our customers in process optimization, performance improvement and cost reduction.
Precise shaft alignment is vital to ensure the optimal functioning of machinery and equipment. Inaccurate alignment can cause a number of problems, including increased component wear, poor performance and unwanted vibration and noise. This is where laser-assisted shaft alignment can offer significant benefits.
Reduction in operating and repair costs: Accurate shaft alignment can lead to a reduction in operating and repair costs. Precise alignment ensures that the machine works efficiently and fuel consumption is reduced. Repair costs can also be avoided, as the components are not subjected to unnecessary stress.
Reduction of vibrations and noise: Laser-assisted shaft alignment can also help to reduce unwanted vibration and noise, increasing comfort and safety in the workplace. This is particularly important in situations where employees have to work close to the machine for long periods of time.
Avoidance of downtimes: Precise shaft alignment can prevent downtime and increase equipment reliability. When the components in the machine are correctly aligned, the machine works more efficiently and is less prone to breakdowns.
Increased service life: Accurate alignment of the shafts can also increase the service life of the components. When the components are correctly aligned, they work evenly and there is no uneven wear. This extends the service life of the components and reduces repair and replacement costs.
Avoidance of damage: Inaccurate alignment can lead to damage to the machine and the components involved, which can result in high repair costs. Laser-assisted alignment helps to prevent such damage and thus ensure the safety and efficiency of the system.
Overall, laser-assisted shaft alignment offers numerous advantages and is an indispensable tool for increasing the efficiency and service life of machines and systems, reducing operating and repair costs and improving safety in the workplace.
Shaft alignment with the laser - laser-assisted alignment control by PMP
Thanks to hundreds of installation assignments worldwide, we at PMP know that coupling damage can also originate in other places. A laser-assisted alignment check of your system is no problem for PMP in addition to an inspection and/or assembly. As part of our PMP+ service, we examine your Coupling and can tell you immediately whether an alignment check is necessary or whether any damage has its origin elsewhere.
Regular alignment checks can prevent damage and extend the service life of the system. Our PMP service technicians have the necessary experience, please contact us.
Contact us now for a no-obligation consultation
We recommend that you carry out alignment checks at regular intervals to prevent damage to the drive train and ensure a long service life for your system. If you do not know when your engine and/or other machines were last aligned, it is high time to make an appointment.
We will be happy to provide you with further information on the subject of alignment. Simply contact us without obligation.
