ACCUSHIM SK-2D: Starter Kit Starter Kit, Shaft to Shaft Alignment, With Dial Indicators, 3.5 Inch Max Shaft Dia.

Accushim SK-2D starter kit is used to achieve accurate alignment of components, ensuring machinery and equipment operate efficiently. The starter kit includes shims of various thicknesses and sizes, allowing users to fine-tune the spacing between components.

Working Mechanism:

• Accushim SK-2D shaft-to-shaft alignment starter kit works by facilitating the precise alignment of two connected shafts through the use of dial indicators. Technicians mount these indicators on each shaft, facing one another.
• They take measurements, including direct face and rim readings, without needing to disassemble the coupling. The kit's adjustable shims are used for fine-tuning spacing. Alignment formulas and sample calculations provided in the kit guide technicians in making adjustments.
• The process is repeated until the shafts align within the desired tolerance.

Features:

• It features stainless steel components, ensuring resistance to corrosion and maintaining precision over time.
• This shaft-to-shaft alignment starter kit offers versatility by accommodating shaft diameters ranging from 0.5 to 3.5 inches, making it suitable for a wide range of machinery and equipment setups.
• It has no disassembly requirement for coupling, ensuring minimal disruption to machinery operation.
• This starter kit offers alignment formulas and sample calculations, facilitating precise shaft-to-shaft alignment and enhancing the alignment process's effectiveness.
• It has direct face and rim readings, simplifying the alignment process and saving time.
• This starter kit includes dual dial indicators, enhancing measurement accuracy during the alignment process and ensuring precise shaft alignment.
• It comes with a fitted plastic carrying case, maintains organisation and ensures easy access for technicians in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. When should shaft alignment be performed?
