Why Precision Machinery Shaft Alignment
Machinery Reliability Requires Precision Shaft Alignment: About 50% of vibration based damage to rotating machinery is directly related to misalignment. Well aligned machines reduce operating costs by increasing Mean Time Between Repairs and reduce power consumption. In other words, precision alignment will save you money.

Shaft vs. Foot Alignment Tolerances
When two machines are directly coupled via a flexible coupling, any misalignment between their centerlines of rotation can result in vibration which can produce premature wear or even catastrophic failure of the machines' bearing, seals, the coupling itself, or other rotating components. The worse this misalignment between shaft centerlines, ther greater the rate of wear and likehood of premature failure of the machines

How fast is the data collection speed of your vibration data collector?
You may feel that this is not an important characteristic. Does it really matter if a data collector is one or two seconds faster acquiring data versus another? Data collection speed is very important and should be taken into consideration by your Facility Management and Condition Monitoring Group.
