The life expectancy of a direct drive compressor will be directly affected by a miss alignment.
Every compressor shaft must be perfectly aligned in order to avoid a failure. The precision of laser alignment will considerably reduce the friction between the crankshaft and the bearings, thus, allowing the compressor to operate under optimal conditions.
A large percentage of compressor damages are caused by a misalignment. Even using a flexible coupling, many problems can occur if the alignment is off by a few thousands of an inch.

Here are a few potential problems that can be caused by a bad alignment :
  • Uneven tension on the coupling, which increases the risk of overheating as well as a failure of the coupling disks.
  • Shaft seal failure, causing a massive refrigerant loss.
  • High vibration levels.
  • Seal end bearing failure.
  • Higher energy costs.
  • Production stoppage.

Our team of specialists is available for laser alignments of all your compressors and pumps. Much faster and more precise than a mechanical alignment, the laser alignment will enable you to be more productive for your customer and by the same means, reduce the down time.
