A poorly aligned machine can cost a factory 20% to 30% in machine down time, replacement parts, inventory, and energy consumption. The payback from aligning machinery to extend the operating life and optimize process conditions is very large. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt first glance it seems that aligning two mating shafts should be a simple process. In the real world, however, there are many complicating factors. For example, either one or both shafts may be locked or have limited rotation. One or both shafts may float axially. The machine may have a soft or sprung foot at one or more locations along with a soft and\/or warped baseplate. The alignment positions may become bolt bound. Keeping in mind that acceptable final alignment is typically less than 2 mils, maintenance professionals often find it very challenging to attain proper alignments. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eUse the MSAT-3 to learn how to recognize and validate the rules of good alignment without the limitations inherent in a factory environment. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Machine Shaft Alignment Trainer (MSAT-3) is the most comprehensive device on the market for shaft alignment training. It is designed for studying a wide variety of problems that can arise when two shafts are misaligned. It is a hands-on trainer for maintenance professionals. It provides a unique mechanism for studying soft and sprung foot. It is a realistic simulator with a one inch diameter shaft that fits standard couplings. Its modular design facilitates simulation of multiple element drive trains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MSAT-3 incorporates two modular units. One is fully adjustable; featuring horizontal jack bolts, calibrated and reference dials, and replaceable feet as depicted in the picture. The other is fundamentally fixed and simulates a non-adjustable machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eShaft Alignment Trainer Features\/Benefits\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MSAT-3 system is robust, portable, and simple to use. It weighs 48 lbs. and fits on a bench-top. It is easy to transport from one place to another. The device has ample space to mount dial indicators and laser heads for alignment training. The innovative design makes it easy to extend the base to accommodate additional main modules for simulating multiple machine element trains. This can be done in both linear and perpendicular configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MSAT-3 provides a wide range of benefits in developing an understanding of alignment problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMisalignment in both horizontal and vertical planes, both angular and parallel (four horizontally mounted jack bolts with calibrated dials and slotted shims for elevation) \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractice and learn different methods of shaft alignment using dial indicators or lasers \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecognize and correct soft foot conditions at one through three feet \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractice alignment procedure when one or both shafts are locked and cannot rotate \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractice alignment when one or both shafts have limited rotation \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractice alignment when the machine is bolt bound \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecognize and correct sprung foot conditions, from one to four feet \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractice alignment with axial shaft float \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearn to install different types of couplings and their effects on alignment procedures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral: \n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight 48 lbs. \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength 28\" \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth 8\" \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid Stainless Steel Shafts 1-1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndicator Clearance Space: 8.5\" x 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable Modules: \n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 calibrated dials with jack bolts \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 standard feet of varying lengths, and one sprung foot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures: \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Two adjustable modules with machined vertical \u0026amp; horizontal jack screws.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-Precision shims, S-Flex Coupling, Operations manual with shaft alignment guidelines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-1\/4\" Solid Stainless Steel Shafts.
