Shaft Alignment Handbook John Piotrowski Shaft Alignment Handbook John Piotrowski
The contents of this edition have been rearranged based on feedback from thousands of people who read the first two editions. Additional information has been included in Chapter 2 on detecting misalignment on operating rotating machinery. Chapter 3 on foundations, baseplates,
and piping strain has been expanded considerably and addresses just about every type of interface between the rotating machines and how they are attached to building, structures, or Earth. Chapter 6 through Chapter 16 reflect suggestions and improvements from readers of the previous two editions. Rather than have one huge chapter that not only discusses the myriad of both mechanical and electronic alignment measurement tools, but also covers how to perform the five basic alignment measurement methods, the five basic alignment measurement methods are now covered in separate chapters (Chapter 10 through Chapter 14) as well as a chapter solely dedicated to electro-optical tools (Chapter 15). For those who have mastered alignment graphing and modeling, it becomes apparent that there are many similarities between the different modeling methods for each of the alignment techniques described in Chapter 10 through Chapter 14. It was suggested that a chapter be added that
covers the basic concepts of alignment graphing and modeling prior to covering the specific
modeling procedure for each of the five alignment methods, which is the intent of Chapter 8. Chapter 16, which discusses movement of rotating machinery from off-line to running conditions, has been expanded considerably and includes some very interesting information from equipment that has been studied in the field since the publication of the second edition.
The chapter on aligning multiple element drive trains has also been expanded to include new information learned about these complex drive systems. Chapter 18 on alignment of belt=sheave driven machinery now includes information on the tooling and techniques developed since the second edition. Chapter 19 and Chapter 20 on bore and parallel alignment are brand new to this edition. Information on specific types of rotating machinery covered in Chapter 21 has had a significant amount of new and expanded information, including hydroelectric generators and alignment of rudders on ships.
