Vibration Analysis On Belt and Pulley Misalignment

• The Shaft Alignment, Belt or Pulley Alignment are
  very important aspects in machine lifecycle and
  the production industry houses. When these are
  carried out properly, it can prevent frequent
  breakdowns and save the costs of machinery
  considerably to a great extent. Belt and Pulley
  alignment are synonymous to each other yet they
  are represented at a different level of
  environment. The belt alignment hinges on the
  correct pulley alignment but it is not the case
  vice-versa. Belt alignment is responsible in
  driving the remaining pulleys of the machine with
  the help of the driver pulley and for this, a
  perfect belt alignment is very much recommended.
  The pulley alignment is required at level of
  grooves that intact contact with the motors of
  the heavy machines. Both the belt and pulley
  together drives a Balancing Machine to produce
  the required output with an effective cost.
• What Happens When the Alignment Is Altered?
• Misalignment could be distinguished into three
  major categories, the first being Vertical
  misalignment, the second horizontal misalignment,
  and third is the parallel misalignment.
  Regardless of the nature of the misalignment, the
  results would definite bring an increase in the
  vibration level characterized by a heavy noise.
  These misalignments could be incurred at the
  pulley side or at the belt side but the resultant
  remains the same.
