At ROTATEK, our intrinsically safe laser shaft alignment services are essential for preventing critical misalignment issues in hazardous environments such as ATEX/IECEx Zone 1. In industries where explosive gases or flammable vapors are present, shaft misalignment can cause excessive vibration, bearing failure, coupling damage, and unnecessary energy loss—leading to unplanned downtime and increased safety risks.
We specialize in solving these challenges with certified, intrinsically safe alignment systems designed for use in explosive atmospheres. Our engineers use advanced laser technology to deliver pinpoint shaft alignment to OEM tolerances, even in the most demanding conditions. We also account for thermal growth, dynamic loads, and real-world operating factors—ensuring permanent alignment solutions, not just temporary corrections.
Whether you’re commissioning equipment in a refinery or maintaining pumps in a chemical plant, ROTATEK’s intrinsically safe laser shaft alignment services help you protect assets, improve performance, and maintain compliance with safety regulations.
When precision matters—even in hazardous zones—ROTAKEK delivers.

Industry Standards for Horizontal Shaft Alignment
At ROTATEK, horizontal shaft alignment services are performed using industry-recognized methods and alignment standards to ensure your rotating equipment operates at peak performance. Where applicable, we follow the guidelines outlined in ANSI/ASA S2.75-2017 Part 1, which defines shaft alignment tolerances, measurement procedures, and acceptable misalignment limits for horizontally mounted machinery.
This standard provides the foundation for achieving accurate coupling alignment, reducing mechanical stress, minimizing vibration, and extending the lifespan of bearings, seals, and couplings.
By aligning to ANSI/ASA standards where applicable, we deliver precise, data-driven results that improve reliability, reduce downtime, and maintain compliance with OEM and industry requirements.
