Innovative Solutions for the Oil and Gas Industry

Skilled Oilfield utilizes Easy-Laser precision instruments to get the most life and efficiency out of your equipment. Pump laser alignment (or laser shaft alignment) is the process of adjusting a pump and its motor so that their rotating shafts are collinear. This prevents equipment breakdowns, vibration, and premature bearing wear. 

Precision alignment is essential for rotating machinery, as misalignment is a leading cause of premature asset failure. The two main types of misalignment that must be corrected are: 

• Offset (Parallel) Misalignment: The centerlines of the two shafts are parallel but separated by a distance.
• Angular Misalignment: The centerlines of the two shafts are not on the same axis and intersect at an angle.

Correcting these in both the vertical and horizontal planes will result in a perfectly collinear setup.
