ROTALIGN ULTRA LIVE TREND Real-time measurement of machine positional change
An important contribution one can make to lower the operating costs of rotating machines is to align them correctly using the real coupling target values. Target values recommended by manufacturers do not always reflect the real machine centerline movements due to thermal growth, pipe strain and dynamic factors.
ROTALIGN ULTRA LIVE TREND, a short term continuous monitoring application, helps to accurately determine the relative positional changes between coupled machines during run-up or shut-down. It utilizes the unique ROTALIGN 5-axis sensor to monitor continuously, in real-time and simultaneously both the vertical and horizontal parallel and angular displacement of rotating machinery, from cold to hot condition or vice versa. By applying these measured values, the machines can be precisely aligned to reflect normal operating conditions.
This means:
- Lower energy costs through reduced power consumption
- Increased mechanical life of bearings, seals, shafts and couplings
- Reduced bearing and coupling temperatures
- Avoiding breaking or cracking of shafts
- Reduced vibration
- Increase of MTBR (Meantime between failures)
Reliability starts with precision shaft alignment!
