Positional Change Monitoring

Stay Aligned Through Heat, Load and Operation
POSITIONAL CHANGE MONITORING FOR THERMAL GROWTH AND DYNAMIC MOVEMENT

At ROTATEK, our Positional Change Monitoring services are designed to track and compensate for real-world positional shifts that occur in rotating machinery during startup, operation, and shutdown. These shifts—caused by thermal growth and dynamic movement—can lead to critical misalignment if not properly accounted for during initial alignment procedures. Our solutions are ideally suited for gas turbines, steam turbines, compressors, boiler feed pumps, and other mission-critical rotating assets where precision and reliability are essential.

A detailed graphical measurement report is supplied with all precision measurement services.

Our commitment to excellence paired with our state-of-the-art measurement capabilities makes ROTATEK your trusted precision service partner.

ADDITIONAL ALIGNMENT AND MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

TURBINE ALIGNMENT

Ensure optimal turbine performance and reliability with our precision alignment services. We offer expert on-site alignment, including casing alignment, bearing adjustments, and internal alignment, to maximize turbine efficiency and minimize downtime.

BOILER FEED PUMP ALIGNMENT

Ensure optimal efficiency and reliability with precision alignment of boiler feed pumps. Misalignment in these high-pressure systems can cause vibration, premature wear, and costly downtime. 

COMPRESSOR ALIGNMENT

Precision alignment is critical to maintaining centrifugal, reciprocating and screw type compressor efficiency. Misaligned shafts can lead to increased vibration, bearing damage, and seal wear.

INTERNAL BORE ALIGNMENT

Bearings, diaphragms and stationary turbine components are accurately aligned to reduce unwanted vibration and ensure safe, reliable and efficient gas turbine operation

SHAFT ALIGNMENT

Ensure optimal efficiency and reliability with precision shaft alignment. Misalignment in rotating machinery can cause vibration, premature wear, and costly downtime.

MACHINE TRAIN ALIGNMENT

Alignment of turbine components are easily measured. Alignment results are analyzed and an alignment solution that minimizes machine moves is implemented
