Sheave Alignment:
To check sheave alignment, a straight edge or a piece of
string can be used. If the sheaves are properly aligned,
the string or straight edge will touch at all points, as
in di cat ed in Figure. 4-1. Rotating the sheaves will
de ter mine if the sheave is wobbly or the drive shaft is
bent. Align ment error must be corrected to avoid bear ing
and belt failure.
