Pump Shaft Alignment – Techniques, Tools, and Troubleshooting

Proper shaft alignment is critical for the reliable operation of pumps and rotating equipment. Misalignment is one of the leading causes of equipment failure, resulting in excessive vibration, bearing damage, seal failures, and increased energy consumption.

This program, developed by Global Horizon Training Center, provides a comprehensive and practical approach to pump shaft alignment. It covers alignment principles, measurement techniques, modern tools, and troubleshooting methods to ensure optimal equipment performance and longevity.

Participants will gain hands-on knowledge in diagnosing misalignment issues, performing accurate alignment using various methods, and applying corrective actions to improve system reliability.

By the end of this program, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamentals of shaft alignment
• Identify types of misalignment (angular, parallel, combined)
• Use alignment tools (dial indicators, laser systems)
• Perform alignment calculations and corrections
• Diagnose misalignment-related failures
• Apply best practices for installation and maintenance
• Improve equipment reliability and reduce downtime

• Mechanical and Maintenance Engineers
• Reliability and Asset Integrity Engineers
• Rotating Equipment Technicians
• Plant Operators and Supervisors
