Excellent video, to be honest. I appreciate your effort (Engr. John Piotrowski). I'm done listening to all these 11 tutorials again and again as well as I have a copy of Machinery Alignment Handbook of yours in my iPad and currently halfway the from the cover of the book. I can't wait for your INTERMEDIATE CATEGORIES. I am Mechanical Engineer, working in Industrial Rotating Equipment Great Job! Great Effort!
Good thanks for this video series. I have seen them all clarify many doubts but the vibration analysis generates another dimension to the alignment and as I think it has happened, myths that are taken as facts in the industry are falling. For example, it is determined by its traction and its tests that the vibration and the alignment does not have an appreciable relationship for a diagnosis to have and greater certainty of the alignment would be with the temperature of the flexible elements the coupling that is what I take as more evident . With these videos I realize that we have to register more variables and analyze because there is nothing clear, the only thing would be the duration of the equipment without failures for the longest time and its study in it. That is to say that to align and have a not vast idea with the laser and a vibration pencil, it is also necessary to improve with nearby thermal cameras (the temperature guns are not exact to my experience, only referential there is a lot of difference) improve the equipment for taking vibrations to have up spectra. Finally, I see that it is not based on lasers myself and investigated and how that its precision is not greater than that of the dial indicators, only that as they have programming that performs the calculations it is easier and takes less time, I would like a topic on this (the instruments for alignment and monitoring) Thank you very much for sharing quality information.
Jordan - Sorry you are disappointed. The "how to" align videos haven't been published yet. The eleven "Introductory" tutorials that are available are just that ... an introduction to alignment. Eventually we will publish the six "Basic" tutorials, the nine "Intermediate" tutorials, and the five "Advanced" tutorials that explain how every type of misalignment problem can be corrected . It is our opinion that even an interested person should know WHY they are doing a specific task before they are asked to perform that task. John Piotrowski
My comment was arrogant. I'm a journeyman millwright and I didn't have my resources at the camp/mine I was working at to do a cross dial allignment, so I scoured the internet for some aid and found nothing useful so my impatience for not finding what it was I was looking for led to this comment. Sorry.
Jordan - No apology needed. 43 years ago, I remember working Christmas Eve at a chemical plant and I was responsible for aligning a 32,000 hp, 11,000 rpm steam turbine and three compressor using the Reverse Indicator method. I had no idea what I was doing and none of the mechanics I was working with did either. At that time, there were no books about shaft alignment let alone UA-cam videos. After 14 hours of guessing, and after 6 different "alignment corrections" ... we still didn't get the alignment right. I called home to tell the wife I wasn't going to make it for the opening of the presents. I remember hearing my children crying in the background. That was a pivotal moment in my life. I swore then and there, that I was going to figure this out no matter how long it took me. I have to wait until the Shaft Alignment Channel videos get to 1000 subscribers or 10,000 views before I can put the Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced tutorials on UA-cam as I am planning on doing a Pay Per View for those. It took me over three years to complete the 35 tutorials, 11 of which I put on UA-cam for free. I'm hoping to eventually get some sort of pay back for this work. One alternative is for you to get a copy of the Basic Shaft Alignment Workbook. You can get a printed copy from us or it is available on iTunes as an ebook. In any case, don't give up on this. One way or another, if you stick with this, you will eventually figure out how to correct a misalignment condition. One thing I can tell you is that if you consider that every machine in the drive system is movable, then there are an infinite number of possible solutions. Best of luck to you and please work safely! John Piotrowski
@@shaftalignment6105 Sir You are great. I have more than 10 years of experience in the field of condition monitoring.. after watching this videos I realize what is alignment. I immediately subscribe the channel and after having a look to your comments I can see there is also a paid content. no matter how much it cost but I am gonna buy this material. Your videos are real gold. May God bless you every day.

Great Job! Great Effort!
Amir - Thank you for the kinds words. I hope this information has helped you. John Piotrowski
thank Engr John for this tutorials , really appreciate Sir !!!!
You are most welcome!

Loved it. Really pretty well explained. Thanks for sharing!
David - Thank you for the kind comments. John Piotrowski
Great video, very thorough. I'm surprised there isn't more views.
Thank you for your kind words. Hopefully the number of views will increase as time goes on. John Piotrowski
- Thank you for the kind comments. John Piotrowski
very useful training, appreciate your effort and thank you so much...
Thanks John P...
superb
Great knowledge! Thank you much
Jerrod - Thank you for the kind comments. John Piotrowski
Thanks
Nice nolej
please, I need shaft alignment software program of Turvac
alignment yes
Useless, waste of my time. Told me a lot of why I should align, no how to align anything.
