Shaft alignment calculator provides technicians and engineers with tools to compute shaft misalignment, shim and machine move values and to perform tolerance checks for rotating equipment. The app accepts measurement inputs in metric and imperial units and produces clear numerical results for both horizontal and vertical alignment, with options to save sessions and export reports for documentation.

Features

Shaft alignment calculator calculates lateral and angular misalignment from measured inputs, computes recommended shim and machine move values, and compares results against common industry tolerances. The app supports metric and imperial units with basic unit conversion, allows saving and loading of measurement sessions, and generates exportable reports in common formats so results can be included in maintenance records and handed to colleagues.

How to use

Enter measured values from dial indicators or your measurement device, select the coupling and units, then run the calculation to view misalignment, shim and move recommendations. Review the generated numerical report before making adjustments on the machine and confirm settings and units; final alignment decisions should be verified by a qualified technician.

Accuracy and tips

For best results use consistent measurement points, confirm the units used, and ensure machine components are at operating temperature when measurements are taken. Shaft alignment calculator provides numerical guidance to support alignment decisions but does not replace professional judgment or field verification.
