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.

What are the names of the principle parts of a centrifugal pump?
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.
What is a rotating shaft?
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.
What are couplings used for?
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

My crank shaft serpentine belt pulley is about one half inch out of alignment How can this be corrected 1995?
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

What is the process of shift alignment?
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.
What is the best material for submersible pump shaft?
Yeah, the best material simply pump shaft. I guess that pumping shaft's just the way it is
What drives the water pump on a 1983 750 shadow?
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.

What instrument is used to check the alignment of two shafts?
A manometer instrument is used to check the alignment of two shafts.
What causes the oil pump not to pick up?
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
What is alignment of rotor shaft in steam turbine?
steam turbine is multiple shaft euipment, to avoid the viberation of the shaft train runing, the multiple shaft need to be aligned within tolorance. usually, the rim and face run out checked is request.
