SHAFT ALIGNMENT
HORIZONTAL MACHINES
INTRODUCTION
Shaft alignment: Determine and adjust the

relative position of two machines that are
connected, such as a motor and a pump, so
that the rotational centers of the shafts are
collinear, when the machines are working in
a normal operating condition. Correction of
horizontal shaft alignment is done by moving

the system.
6.1
Adjustment of the machine can be made
directly, according to the displayed values.
The alignment results can be saved in the

memory manager. The measurements in the
memory manager can easily be transferred
to a PC for further documentation
purposes.
After rotating the shafts into different

measuring positions the system calculates
the relative distance between the two shafts
in two planes. The distances between the
two measuring planes, distance to the
coupling and distances to the machine feet
are entered into the system. The display box
then shows the actual alignment condition
together with the position of the feet.

The alignment results can be saved in the

memory manager. The measurements in the

After rotating the shafts to different
measuring positions, the system calculates
the relative distance between the two shafts
in two planes. The distances between the
two measuring planes, distance to the
coupling, number of bolts and pitch circle

SHAFT ALIGNMENT OFFSET
MACHINES
INTRODUCTION
The most common set-up for offset

machines is the Z-configuration, where the
drive shaft and the driven unit should have
rotational centers that are parallel to each
other. This configuration can appear in both
horizontally and vertically mounted
machines. The Offset laser fixture is adjustable in a
plane parallel to the stationary machine’s
flange face and can be set at any position to
eliminate the offset from the driven unit.
The dummy rotational centre on the fixture
is set in front of the driven unit and any
angular misalignment is measured by using
the sensors in the FIXTURLASER NXA
system.
8.1
• Precision alignment using the
FIXTURLASER NXA system.
Alignment of offset machines with the

FIXTURLASER NXA system involves the
following:
• Pre-alignment.
• Mounting the fixtures to eliminate the

offset between the rotational centers.
• Coarse alignment using the built-in

lasers.
8.2
PRE-ALIGNMENT • Dismount the covers and remove the
cardan shaft.

washers that are included in the fixture
system according to the instructions
mentioned in the mounting section of this
manual.
Perform the following actions before

mounting the fixture on the flange:

Mounting (Stationary)
The Offset fixture comes with a number of Mounting the fixture with 2 arms is the

bolts themselves in most cases when
mounting the arm on the flange. Remember
to place the steel spacers between it and the
face before bolting up. This helps to
eliminate any problems with high spots on
the surface. The arm can be fixed at any
point across the face, but placing it at the
outer diameter, rather than across the
centre, secures the fixture arm over a
longer distance and increases the stability.
The offset and the space available determine
the set-up of the fixture arrangement. The
figures below show different ways of

as possible. Use the bolts from the
cardan shaft (maximum M12 Allen
screw) together with the guide washers
to fix the arm on the flange. Make sure
that the arm has maximum contact
surface, equally distributed across the
width, with the hardened washers, and
that the arm is properly fastened on
the flange.
2. Mount the 2nd arm with the turret

onto the 1st arm, using the M10 bolt
and guide washer. By slightly tightening
the arm; it is possible to adjust its
8.5
Mounting alternatives (Stationary)
In applications where the flange can be
rotated, where access is limited, or where
you cannot use the “2-arm set-up”, it is
possible to mount just one arm on the
flange.
• Mount the arm on the flange and rotate

the flange to a position where the
"dummy axis" of the turret can hit the
centre of the movable machine.
• Make sure to lock the stationary unit in

this position to prevent any movement
of the flange.
• Make the final adjustment of the arm

until the "dummy axis" of the turret
hits the centre of the movable machine.
• Tighten the arm’s fastening bolts.
8.6
For applications with a small offset, you
sometimes have to mount the turret close
to the centre and in between the fastening
bolts on one arm. In this case, it is necessary
to dismount the turret at the end and place
it in the centre thread on the arm.
8.7
Mounting (Movable)
To attach the turret on the movable
machine, the kit is provided with a selection
of threaded nuts which will fit common
coupling faces that have a threaded hole in
the shaft centre. These can be used to
secure the turret to the flange face. The
adaptors are only used to mount the turret
onto shafts that can be rotated. When
performing the measurement, it is important
to rotate the machine shaft and not the
turret itself.
8.8
Mounting alternatives (Movable) If the shaft cannot be rotated, an extra arm

The chain fixture is attached to the flange.
The extension bracket is mounted on the
chain fixture so that the rods are positioned
in front of the flange.
8.9
COARSE ALIGNMENT
The purpose of coarse alignment is to align

the machines roughly by using the built-in
lasers.
The built-in lasers in each turret are pre-

adjusted so that the laser beam represents
the axis of rotation for the unit it is
mounted on.

OL2R (OFF LINE TO RUNNING)
INTRODUCTION
If you have unexplainable vibrations in your

pump-motor installation, this application can
help reduce your doubts (and your
vibrations).
OL2R measurements use a special fixture

that allows measurement while the machine
is running. In this way, both the thermal
influences and the load that is put into the
pump as well as movement in foundations
and pipe strains will be taken into account.
12.1
In order to determine dynamic movements,
the OL2R laser fixtures are mounted on the
two machines that are to be checked. The
turrets make it possible to measure the
alignment between the two “dummy” axes,
by using the FIXTURLASER NXA system.
The measurement is performed in both
running and cold condition and the system
calculates the difference in alignment,
determined as dynamic movements between
the machine’s two conditions, and is
expressed as target values. These target
values can be used when the actual shaft
alignment is performed.

MEASURING OL2R
Measurement Method
In the OL2R program, a measurement is
made in cold condition (machine off line)
and another one in hot condition (machine
running) to provide the target values.
The Clock method is used to provide the

result in each condition. In the Clock
method, machinery positions are calculated
by taking three points with 180° of rotation.
The target values are calculated by

subtracting the measurement result in cold
condition from the measurement result in
hot condition.
You can measure the conditions in optional

order and the cold and hot conditions can
both be saved separately.
