A good example of why you need aligned parts Alignment is a critical step of building and repairing rotating equipment, such as motors and pumps. A badly aligned pump will  leak ,  vibrate , and destroy itself quickly. Overlooking alignment will end up costing you money in the future in the form of destroyed and damaged equipment. It’s very important to consider the method of alignment, as laser vs dial indicators have different advantages and disadvantages.  Laser Indicators

Gearboxes are common rotating equipment found in many industries. A gearbox is an enclosed set of rotating gears working together in unison to generate rotating power. Though designed to be durable and capable of working on despite hindrances such as dirt, debris and other contaminants, gearboxes can still fail. There are three main reasons why gearboxes fail: poor lubrication, gear misalignment and gearbox overload.             Most often, gearboxes fail, sometimes catastrop

This article focuses specifically on the top 3 major causes of induction motor failure. Induction motors are powered by alternating current electricity. Typically, centrifugal pumps are powered by induction motors, yet there are countless applications in which induction motors can be found. Induction motors are efficient, inexpen
