The Fixturlaser XA Offset Expansion System enables the easy and precise alignment of offset mounted Motors

Offset Motor Shaft Alignment

Offset, or Cardan shafts are an excellent way of power transmission, when it is impossible to configure two machines, such as a motor and pump, in line. There is the general misunderstanding, however, that offset mounted cardan driven machines do not require alignment.

A misaligned cardan shaft rotates with an uneven angular speed over a full turn. This generates vibrations with harmful forces throughout the drive chain, which will cause adverse load and wear on Motor components. The risks with misaligned cardan shafts in a motor drive train are similar to other misaligned machines, with the addition of the safety risks for damages caused by a broken cardan shaft.

 The Fixturlaser XA Motor Shaft Alignment System combined with the Offset Shaft Alignment fixture expansion kit makes precision alignment of offset mounted motors and machines possible. The payback time for an Offset Motor Alignment system such as this is very short considering the costs for replacing a broken cardan shaft.
