Coupling Alignment Procedure

The document provides instructions for checking the alignment of couplings using straight edges, dial gauges, and filler gauges. It describes measuring parallel/radial misalignment by placing a straight edge or using a dial gauge at four equally spaced points around the coupling. Angular alignment is checked similarly with a filler gauge or dial gauge. Installers are advised not to exceed 25% of the maximum allowable misalignment when installing couplings to allow for thermal movements during operation. Safety guards are recommended but not provided.

COUPLING ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE


1. CHECKING PARALLEL / RADIAL ALIGNMENT USING STRAIGHT EDGE :

Align straight edge on flange O.D. of one of the halves, 4 places 900 apart, gap P will be the Parallel/Radial misalignment. (Refer respective coupling catalogue for allowable Parallel misalignment values). USING DIAL GAUGE :

Fix the dial gauge on the hub O.D. of one of the halves & set plunger on the flange O.D. of another half. Rotate the coupling slowly to one complete revolution by taking dial gauge reading at 4 places 90o apart. The parallel misalignment is half the Total Indicated Reading (TIR) shows on dial gauge which is equal to values P (Refer respective coupling catalogue for allowable Parallel misalignment values).

Issue: 3JL 09 2. CHECKING ANGULAR ALIGNMENT USING FILLER GAUGE :

Measure gap P at 4 places 900 apart. The difference in maximum & minimum gap will be the Total Indicated Reading (TIR) shows on dial gauge which is equal to values P (Refer respective coupling catalogue for allowable Parallel misalignment values). USING DIAL GAUGE :

Fix the dial gauge on the hub O.D. of one of the halves & set plunger on the face of the flange of another half as shown. Rotate the coupling slowly to one complete revolution by taking dial gauge reading at 4 places 90o apart. The parallel misalignment is half the Total Indicated Reading (TIR) shows on dial gauge which is equal to values P (Refer respective coupling catalogue for allowable Parallel misalignment values).

Issue: 3JL 09 Note: After alignment, tighten all foundation & base frame bolts.

IMPORTANT: The misalignment capabilities shown in drawings or products literature are for dynamic conditions & variations. For optimum service from the coupling, the installation (Initial) misalignment should not be more than 25% of the maximum allowable misalignment limits. Allowance should be made for any anticipated movements which will occur during operations (e.g. Thermal movements).

The necessity for shields & guards varies with individuals installations. The owners or users must provide the required safety guards. Safety guards or shields are not furnished by us with these equipments. ================================================================================= ENGINEERING JOURNAL NEWS LETTER The Independent Product Information Guide for Product Design and Automation Engineers
