7. Tighten and loosen the bolt once again to check that the deviation does not exceed
0.05 mm (2 mils).
8. Repeat steps 5 to 8 for the remaining feet. The soft foot is now checked and corrected.
9. Press + and - simultaniously to leave the soft foot mode and enter the measuring
sequence.
4. Alignment report
A Shaft alignment report template is available on the CD ROM delivered with the unit.
Or download the report from www.mapro.skf.com.
The report contains the following data fields:
a) Name of the equipment
b) Name of the operator
c) Date
d) Name and/or reference of Stationary machine
e) Name and/or reference of Movable machine
f) Maximum rotational speed
g) Maximum acceptable angle between centre lines of the shafts (see table 1, Ch. 3.8.2)
h) Maximum acceptable off-set of centre lines (see table 1, Ch. 3.8.2)
i) Selection of metric or imperial dimensions
j) Machine configuration; distances A, B and C
k) Soft foot correction done
l) Vertical alignment: resulting angular error
m) Vertical alignment: resulting parallel offset
n) Horizontal alignment: resulting angular error
o) Horizontal alignment: resulting parallel offset
p) Vertical alignment: resulting height position of the front feet
q) Vertical alignment: resulting height position of the rear feet
r) Height of shims to be added or removed under front feet (excluding soft foot
correction)
s) Height of shims to be added or removed under rear feet (excluding soft foot correction)
t) Horizontal alignment: resulting sideways position of the front feet
u) Horizontal alignment: resulting sideways position of rear feet
v) Remaining vertical angle
w) Remaining vertical off-set
x) Remaining horizontal angle
y) Remaining horizontal off-set
z) Space for own notes
