The alignment of a pump is the process of making sure the pump shaft and prime mover (electric motor, engine,ect.)shaft are lined up perfect both horazonally and verticaly to ensure there is no binding on the coupling.
Shaft center to center
The principle parts of a centrifugal pump are the pump casing, also called a volute, and the impeller. The other parts are the pump shaft, bearing(s), shaft seal, the wear rings, and the inlet and outlet. The impeller is mounted on the pump shaft. The pump shaft is coupled to an external power source like a motor. The motor turns the shaft, the shaft makes the impeller turn and the fluid being pumped is put in motion. The volute causes a change in pressure in the fluid. The shaft seal stops the fluid from leaking out of the casing (volute). The wear rings separate the high and low pressure areas inside the casing. The bearing(s) make the shaft turn easier. The inlet and outlet parts of the casing connect to the fluid piping system.
There are many, many examples. Generally, rotating shafts are used to transmit power from a producer to a user device. A few examples: Drive shaft in an automobile- transmits power from the engine to the wheels. Propeller shaft in a ship- transmits power form the engine to the propeller. Pump shaft- transmits power from a motor to the pump impeller. Rotating shafts are all over the place. You can find dozens of examples in the typical appliances in any typical home.
Shaft couplings are used to couple or attach two shafts together, typically in an assembly where one shaft rotates and drives the other shaft -- for example, if a motor were to drive a pump, there would be a coupling between the two shafts. Shaft couplings can be rigid (accommodating no misalignment) or flexible (accommodating some angular and/or radial misalignment of the two shafts). More information on various types of couplings is available here: www.oepcouplings.com

the only way this can happen is if the power steering pump shaft goes bad and forces the belt out of alignment. The crank shaft is ok
To line up a pump shaft, start by ensuring that both the pump and motor are securely mounted on a stable base. Use a dial indicator or laser alignment tool to measure the alignment between the pump shaft and the motor shaft at both the vertical and horizontal planes. Adjust the position of the motor by shimming or moving it until the shafts are properly aligned within the manufacturer's specified tolerances. Finally, recheck the alignment after securing all bolts to ensure that no movement has occurred during the tightening process.

Yeah, the best material simply pump shaft. I guess that pumping shaft's just the way it is
There is nothing as shift alignment. There is something called shaft alignment and it is very important in ships. There is something wrong with the question obviously.
The water pump is driven by the oil pump shaft - there is a tab on the end of the oil pump shaft and there is a groove on the water pump which sits into that shaft. All shafts end up being driven by the motor.
That would be a long shaft water pump.
well a cranks shaft u need a hand to pump its the same as petrol because when u pump it A WIERD SUBSTANCES EJACULATES FROM IT :)
Leaking around water pump mounting or shaft Play in shaft
Shaft from distributor could be stripped or the screen on oil pump my be clogged but most likely its the shaft coming from pump to the distributor is stripped or broke
yes you can. of you tightened it up off the shaft pump damage probably occured or the shaft has bent.
