See RD Align full version for added features of imperial/metric units, thermal growth compensation, horizontal alignment, and optional alignment solutions.
Why use $10,000 laser alignment systems, when the same or better alignment results can be achieved for less than $1500 with a set of reverse dial indicators and this app.
Reverse Dial Alignment is a calculator used for performing shaft alignments of rotating equipment using the reverse dial indicator method. Several features include;
- Key Length Calculator – used to determine optimal length of key stock for coupling fitments.
- Thermal Growth Calculator – used to determine cold alignment offsets. Machine will have misalignment at startup, but will “grow” into alignment once the machine reaches operating temperature.
- Vertical Alignment Calculator – used to calculate vertical movements at the feet of the drive and driven machines based on dial indicator readings. 5 movement options are provide.
- Horizontal Alignment Calculator – used to calculate vertical movements at the feet of the drive and driven machines based on dial indicator readings. 5 movement options are provide.
