2. Problem?
A proper Shaft Analysis report issued.
Practical alignment verfication muserments shows a recognaizable variation!
Why ?!
In some of the cases it is subjected to the tools used.
But there is some other reasons!
One of these reasons is the cosequence of the system components stiffness into:
One of these reasons is the cosequence of the system components stiffness into:
1‐Bearing loads and Shaft slope inside propeller bearing
2‐Propeller shaft lateral vibration.
2 Propeller shaft lateral vibration
This will explain some of the other reasons meanwhile it helps to investigate the most
reliable working domain for new projects.
