Procedure <strong>for</strong> preliminary alignment:• The turbine and generator shafts are <strong>for</strong>ced to their outer most position after thegenerator is assembled and clearance between half coupling is ensured. This clearanceshould be 5 to 6 mm (or as designed)• A straight edge is pressed against the turbine or generator shaft along generator axis infour diametrically opposite positions. Clearance if any is checked and equalized. Forthis shims are provided beneath foundation fame.• By measuring clearances between faces of half coupling at four points, alignment ofshafts at joint is checked.• The position of generator is first checked in vertical plane than in horizontal• Misalignment is corrected by placing shims under foundation frame• After this foundation bolts are tightened and lockedFig 12: Misalignment of turbine and generator shafts [Goncharov]Procedure <strong>for</strong> final alignment• Check positions of half coupling• Measure clearances between half couplings in the initial position and after turningthrough 90 o , 180 o , 270 o & 360 o• The position of half coupling should be same of initial position and after rotation by360 o• For radial displacement of half couplings is measured by mounting a dial indicator ona bracket fixed at turbine half coupling (Fig 13)Fig 13: Aligning Horizontal Generator with Turbine [Goncharov]<strong>AHEC</strong>/MNRE/SHP Standards/ E&M Works – Guidelines <strong>for</strong> Operation and Maintenance of Small Hydropower Station 70
