Close tolerance alignment
Close tolerance alignment of shafts, bearings, glands, couplings, U-joints, motors and engines, pumps, or any other rotating, oscillating, or reciprocating machinery requiring close alignment tolerances and those driven through belts, chains, and countershafts. This training involves rigging for lifts, fabrication of foundations, chocking of equipment, use of mandrels and dummies, bolt torqueing, and pin fitting. The work includes calculations of shaft size, alignment calculations, bearing spacing calculations, shaft droop calculations, and checking of components for specified tolerance measurements along with use of close tolerance alignment procedures. Write up of beginning and final condition reports is to be done as a part of this work. (w/applied safety guidance)
