PAMS \ Balancing & Alignment


Increase Equipment Reliability, Extend Bearing Life and Reduce Power Consumption

Using the latest Laser Alignment technology, our technicians at Matlock Electric can help you avoid inconvenient and costly problems created by misalignment of the shafts connecting two machines (such as a motor and a pump). When the centerlines of two connecting shafts do not form a straight line under normal operating conditions, the angular misalignment can cause serious mechanical problems such as:

• Loose or worn bearings
• Equipment that runs too hot
• Equipment that doesn't rotate properly
• Excessive power consumption
• A wide variety of production problems and potential defects

Laser Alignment is one of many Matlock Electric’s Preventive Maintenance services designed to help our customers save time and money.  Our highly accurate Laser Alignments are performed through the use of laser transmitters and detectors that are mounted on each connecting shaft. If misalignment is detected, the front or back feet of one machine can be repositioned until the shafts are aligned within recommended tolerances.

Benefits

Too frequently, alignments are performed only after problems surface. However, alignments should be conducted routinely after any replacement of motors, pumps or couplings if you wish to:

• Increase equipment reliability
• Extend bearing life
• Reduce power consumption

Other benefits of regular and accurate Laser Alignment include:

• Reduction of production losses and unplanned downtime due to problems not identified early enough
• Reduced maintenance and repair costs
• Increased equipment life
• Increased mean-time Between Failures
• Professional, comprehensive custom reports
• Increased productivity and profitability
