🔍 Key Concepts

• Shaft alignment methods used in propulsion systems • Difference between checking parallelism of faces vs. concentricity (offset) of shaft centers • Tools that can measure very small movement in thousandths of an inch or mm around a circular path

💭 Think About

• Which tool can show you how much one flange’s center is offset from the other as the shaft is rotated? • Which methods listed only give a rough or local indication, and which one gives a continuous reading all the way around 360°? • If you needed to record exact misalignment values (not just see a gap), which instrument would you choose?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option measures eccentricity/offset of centers, not just face gap or straightness. • Consider which tool can be fixed to one flange and read relative movement of the other flange as it turns. • Verify which device is commonly used for precision alignment work in machinery and shafting.
