Why Proper Shaft Alignment Is Important
Whether you are running a rotary dryer, cooler, agglomerator, kiln, or other rotary equipment, proper alignment is key to extending equipment life and maintaining operational efficiency. A misalignment issue can quickly spiral into major equipment damage and downtime, if left untreated. A rotary drum will naturally fall out of alignment over time, making routine realignments an integral part of any preventative maintenance program.

Regularly inspecting your rotary drum is critical to catching problems before they have the opportunity to spread. The following symptoms are all good indicators that realignment is needed:
- Excessive tire/wheel wear
- Damage to the tire/wheel
- Excessive wear on the thrust roller
- Damage to the thrust roller
- Pinion/girth gear wear
