Laser Alignment Services & Solutions
Laser Alignment: Should be an integral part of your “Proactive Maintenance” regime.
Laser alignment is a crucial part of any proactive maintenance plan. It ensures your equipment operates at maximum efficiency with minimal energy consumption. Proper alignment reduces wear and tear, extends equipment life, and lowers operational costs.
Our Laser Alignment Tools:
- Pruftechnik Rotalign Ultra®: Industry-leading tool for precise shaft alignment.
- Optalign Touch Mobility: Designed for fast, accurate, and mobile alignment tasks.
Alignment Tolerances:
We aim for running tolerances after thermal growth, as follows;
- 4 pole speeds: off-sets not exceeding 0.06mm after thermal growth.
- 2 pole speeds off-sets not exceeding 0.03mm after thermal growth.
Alignment Applications:
We specialise in laser alignment for various types of rotating equipment,
including:
- Pumps: Ensuring peak efficiency and reduced energy
consumption. - Compressors: Precise alignment to minimise vibration and
mechanical stress. - Turbines: Enhancing performance and prolonging the lifespan of

Common Laser Alignment Questions
What are the benefits of laser aligning a pump and motor?
The main benefits of laser alignment are lowering vibration and power consumption which enhances the longevity of couplings, seals and bearings.
What is soft foot?
Soft foot is when a motor base is not level. When one or more feet are not sitting level, the motor frame can be distorted and alter the air gap in the motor – causing vibration and harmonic noise. This can be addressed during laser alignment.
