Overview

This Couplings & Shaft Alignment training course will provide an in-depth look at coupling designs and their role in transferring torque and rotation from the driver shaft to rotating machines like pumps, compressors, or turbines. The course will emphasize the significance of proper installation, maintenance, and failure analysis of couplings. Specifically tailored for engineers and technicians with limited exposure to couplings, the course will enhance their understanding of coupling characteristics and the various operating loads. The focus will be on identifying problems, performing root cause analysis, and preventing failures.

Shaft alignment is a specialized technical skill that involves using measurement instruments and relies on the technician's experience to achieve optimal results on equipment such as pumps, compressors, or turbines. This course will equip participants with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in shaft alignment, helping them address misalignment issues in rotating machinery. The emphasis will be on analyzing, identifying, and correcting root causes of misalignment, imbalance, and vibration to ensure smooth operation and improve machine performance.

Throughout the course, real-world problems and case studies from engineering practice will be discussed and resolved through hands-on workshops.

Key topics of this Energy training course include:

The importance of selecting the right couplings
Guidelines for proper coupling installation: mounting and dismounting
Common coupling issues and potential failures
