Shaft Alignment

Overview

Accurate shaft alignment is critical for smooth propulsion, reduced vibration, and long-term reliability of your drivetrain components.

Service Description

We provide precision shaft alignment services for new builds, refits, and in-service vessels to ensure the engine, gearbox, shaft line, and propeller operate in correct geometric relation. Proper alignment minimizes bearing and seal wear, lowers vibration and noise, and helps prevent premature failures and efficiency losses. Using proven measurement methods (including laser alignment where appropriate), we assess existing conditions, identify misalignment causes, and implement corrective actions. Our work supports safer operation, better performance, and longer component life.

Key Capabilities

    • Laser shaft alignment and verification (engine/gearbox/shaft line)

    • Shaft line inspection: bearings, couplings, stern tube, seals, and foundations

    • Vibration and noise reduction through alignment correction

    • Tolerance checks, reporting, and documentation for class/owner requirements

    • Alignment support during installation, refit, and after major repairs

    • Root-cause diagnostics for recurring misalignment (mounts, hull deflection, wear)
