Alignment Procedure
Applications
Rim & Face Shaft Alignment
Trains where one shaft can’t be rotated during the alignment process.
Machines with coupling hubs that are axially close to each other.
Machines that have large diameter couplings.
Small general purpose machines
Reverse Shaft Alignment
Long span machines
Machines that require precision alignment.

Disadvantages
Coupling hub runout will induce an error into the readings.
Radial runout up to 0.05 mm
Face runout up to 0.01 mm
