Improve the Performance of Your Belt-Driven Systems with Proper Alignment
Misalignment is a common issue in rotational machinery, often leading to belt wear, power losses, and increased vibration. Proper alignment of pulley systems can significantly reduce these problems, enhancing performance and reliability. Are you still relying on wires and straight edges to align your belt-drive equipment? This outdated method might be costing you thousands of pesos annually in replacement bearings, belt expenses, maintenance labor, and unscheduled downtime, all while shortening your machine’s usable life.

Belt Pulley Alignment in Four Simple Steps
- Setup: Start the Fluke 835 laser and position the units on the pulley faces. Attach the reflector to the moving machine (motor) and the laser transmitter to the stationary (driven) component.
- Measurement: Use the laser line positions on the reflector to assess vertical angularity and offset, and the reflected laser line on the transmitter to measure horizontal angularity.
- Adjustment:
- Vertical Angularity: Shim the movable machine and monitor the adjustments on the reflector.
- Offset: Shift the movable machine axially while observing the reflector.
- Horizontal Angularity: Slide the movable machine horizontally, using the laser unit for guidance.
- Completion: Achieve proper alignment when the transmitted and reflected laser lines align perfectly with their reference marks.
