DORAL, Fla. — LUDECA Inc. offers an array of maintenance tips on its blog, which is updated regularly. A recent post, for example, advised when moving machines for alignment, always use jackscrews.
“If you don’t have them, beating on the machine frame with a steel-face hammer is a lousy idea,” the blog reads. “First, you run the risk of damaging the bearings, seals and other delicate components in your machines. Secondly, you have little control over the magnitude of your moves. Thirdly, it’s unprofessional. If you don’t have time to weld or screw on jackscrew assemblies, consider using a couple of carpenter’s pipe clamps tensed against each other. This makes for a handy portable jackscrew arrangement that is safe, inexpensive and offers you plenty of control.”
Other maintenance tips focus on “Equipping a field service team to do shaft alignment,” “How accurate are dial indicators for shaft alignment?” and more.
