Pump Alignment Systems
We provide pump alignment systems to enable our clients to accurately align and maintain factory geometry in all pump configurations.
- Laser Shaft alignment, machine train alignment, spacer shafts, cardan shafts, vertical shaft alignment, any complex alignment
- Dynamic movement measurement or thermal growth measurements (Permalign and Live Trend) – to derive alignment “cold” targets. It also measures any structural absolute movement relative to Earth.
- Bore Alignment (marine, pumps, small turbines, diesels, etc)
- Turbine diaphragm alignment (long range bore alignment using Centralign)
- Precision Geometric Measurement (parallel, level, flat, perpendicular, straightness, etc)
- Training on all tools, classroom or on-the-job training
- Vibration Analysis
Hydraulic Coupling Tensioner
Traditionally, installing and removing coupling flanges on tapered shafts has been accomplished by heating the flange or using a jury-rigged assortment of mechanical jacks. These methods are time consuming and can be a safety hazard.
Powerhouse Resources provides a fast, accurate, safe & cost-effective alternative:
The Pump Coupling Tensioner is a fast, accurate, safe and cost-effective tool for installing and removing coupling flanges on tapered shafts.
Fast – It reduces a 12-hour chore to a 20-minute task. There is no need to wait for the coupling to heat-up or to cool-down.
Accurate – It has the power to accurately advance the coupling to its proper position on the shaft. There is no time-consuming rework associated with a mis-positioned coupling.
Safe – It’s designed to fit the specific coupling. Controlled hydraulic pressure pulls the shaft and coupler together or pushes them apart. No heating!
Cost Effective – The Pump Coupling Tensioner is reversible, so it performs both the assembly and the disassembly task. For most designs the hydraulic pressure is provided by a standard (10,000 to 14,500 psi) hand pump and hose. Higher operating pressures, up to 33,000 psi, are available.
Pump Coupling Tensioner Applications:
- Condensate Booster Pump (CBP)
- Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP)
- Reactor Feed Pump (RFP)
- Feedwater Pump
- Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP)
- Steam Generator Feed Pump (Both Main & Auxiliary Pumps)
- Any Primary or Secondary Pump with a Tapered Shaft.
- Any Piece of Rotating Equipment with a Tapered Shaft.
