Alignment Tolerances

An alignment tolerance allows the alignment to be within an


acceptable range of misalignment that does not affect the
machine's ability to rotate properly.

Misalignment is the deviation of relative shaft position from a


collinear axis of rotation, measured at the points of power
transmission, when the equipment is running at normal operating
conditions.

A good rule of thumb for general purpose equipment (3600


rpms and less) is .0005" (1/2 thousandth) per inch of coupling
span.

This tolerance uses only speed and coupling span. Other


factors to consider are: How critical is the equipment, mechanical
stiffness, the excitation forces influencing the rotor dynamics,
etc. This is where knowing your equipment is essential.
