The Importance of Precision Gearbox Alignment: Industrial gearboxes require precision alignment of input and output shafts with connecting drives and units such as Pumps and Motors, in order to ensure efficient and breakdown-free running.
Misalignment occurs when a gearbox and adjoining unit are positioned out of line in such a way that a perfect rotational centreline through the coupled shafts is not achieved. This is commonly referred to as misalignment. A rotating shaft that is not correctly aligned will rotate in an eccentric fashion and create undue forces on the coupling, shafts, units themselves and their components. These stresses lead to accelerated component wear and eventual breakdown. Misalignment is a leading cause of plant failure, with over 50% of plant breakdowns attributed to shaft misalignment. Conducting Gearbox Alignment: Correcting gearbox misalignment is also a straightforward process. The Fixturlaser XA Gearbox Alignment System has a 3D animated interface which shows users the exact amount of correction required to re-position the gearbox or motor so that perfect alignment through the centreline of the two shafts is achieved. The Fixturlaser XA Gearbox Alignment system has a ‘live’ screen so that any changes made to the position of the motor or gearbox are instantly displayed on the screen. The XA System indicates the thickness of shims that are required to be added or removed from under the front or rear feet of the unit. Arrows also indicate the amount of horizontal correction required to position the motor or gearbox correctly.

Fixturlaser is a leading manufacturer of Laser Shaft Alignment systems ideally suited for conducting gearbox alignment. Monition Ltd is the official distributor for Fixturlaser Gearbox Alignment Systems in the UK. 
The alignment of a gearbox refers to positioning of the gearbox in relation to the drive (or driven) unit to ensure that the gearbox input and output shafts are perfectly aligned and coupled with the respective shafts of adjoining plant items. 
The process of gearbox alignment is straightforward: two laser units are attached to the shafts that require alignment, one either side of the coupling. Measurements are then recorded from 3 points, either by rotating the shaft through 30-40 degree segments, or by use of a special moveable fixture in cases where the gearbox shafts themselves will not rotate. The gearbox shaft alignment system automatically measures the alignment of the two shafts, and displays to the user if the shaft is or isn’t aligned and indicating the precise amount of angular or offset misalignment.
