Identifying and correcting soft foot is crucial for ensuring the long-term reliability and performance of rotating equipment. This issue is notably a major cause of repeatability problems in shaft alignment measurements. When machinery is not properly seated, even small adjustments can result in significant deviations, making it difficult to achieve precise alignment. Using too many shims can create a "spring" effect (soft-foot), causing excessive vibration and ultimately leading to the failure of bearings and seals. Over-shimming, can be detrimental to the longevity and performance of the equipment. Common causes of soft foot · Twisted, bent or warped frame or base plate · Uneven or damaged foundation · Twisted, bent, dented or damaged machine feet · Too many shims under a foot By ensuring that mechanics are well-trained and understand the importance of proper alignment, plant managers can prevent excessive vibration, reduce the risk of equipment failure, and enhance overall operational efficiency. This approach not only extends the lifespan of machinery but also contributes to a safer and more reliable working environment We teach all the little details such as this at our trainings, Little details make a BIG DIFFERENCE in the life of rotating equipment!

Common problems in industrial maintenance often include issues with equipment reliability, such as frequent breakdowns, wear and tear, and inefficiencies in maintenance processes. Addressing these 'bad actors' requires a strategic approach, including regular maintenance schedules, proper training, and the use of precision maintenance techniques to improve equipment lifespan and performance. Hendrix trainings offer a comprehensive approach to industrial maintenance training! Turning the classroom into practical learning events with running and static simulators engaging participants and demonstrating the real-world impact of precision maintenance. It not only helps in understanding theoretical concepts but also ensures that participants gain hands-on experience that can directly translate to improving equipment life and efficiency. This kind of training is invaluable for industries where downtime and equipment reliability are critical factors. Hendrix Precision Maintenance Do it Once, Do it Right!

Two weeks from today we kick off this class in Indianapolis, IN - July 22-25! JOIN US! Seats still available!! excited about your upcoming class in Indianapolis! Precision maintenance training makes a significant impact in optimizing equipment performance and reducing downtime. Participants learn how something as “insignificant” as a few thousandths of an inch fit and tolerance (or a “correct” key length), can make a significant difference in life improvement of your rotating equipment.

Still time to sign up for our Precision Maintenance Skills training being held in Indianapolis, IN - July 22-25. An intense, 40-hour hands-on class where teams of craftsmen, planners, supervisors, superintendents, engineers, and maintenance/operating managers learn and practice precision equipment assembly, rebuild, and install techniques; each designed to significantly double, triple, and (in our own plant experience) quadruple rotating equipment & seal life. The participants measure their own progress by running their simulator machines and measuring the results. The effects of applying precision techniques to rotating equipment have proven to greatly extend the mean time between failure and/or scheduled maintenance to rebuild events of the equipment and other components by reducing vibration, temperature, & amps or energy usage.
