Improvement Of Self Alignment Footing System For Motor-Pump Rotating Shaft

This project described the development of motorized shaft alignment system to be used in motor-pump machineries. Shaft alignment is vital to ensure the equipment able to operate for longer duration. It was well known that poor alignment causes the bearing failures, coupling wear or failure, increase...
