Shaft Alignment Handbook

Shaft Alignment Handbook by John Piotrowski. The book is Reference material on rotating machinery basics, pump overhaul, mechanical seals, basic vibration, and shaft alignment. The primary reasons why machinery is misaligned is lack of proper training, improper tools to do the job, and that people are not given enough time to do it right. This book will help with the training and the tools.
