    • Coupling & Shaft Alignment – Course Topics

      1. Fundamentals of Couplings & Alignment

      • Importance of couplings and alignment in rotating equipment reliability
      • Types of misalignment: angular, parallel, axial, and combination
      • Effects of misalignment on bearings, seals, and overall equipment life
      • Industry standards and best practices

      2. Coupling Types & Applications

      • Rigid couplings: sleeve, clamp, flange
      • Flexible couplings: elastomeric, gear, grid, disc
      • Specialty couplings: fluid, magnetic, diaphragm
      • Selection criteria based on operating conditions and equipment type

      3. Shaft Alignment Principles

      • Alignment tolerances and specifications
