Convention presentation

The paper "Overview of the New Shaft Alignment Standard" by Gene Vogel, presented at the EASA Convention 2018, introduces the ANSI ASA S275 Part 1: General Principles, Methods, Practices, and Tolerances standard for shaft alignment. This standard was developed by the Vibration Institute in collaboration with the Acoustic Society of America (ASA) to provide a comprehensive and consistent approach to shaft alignment across various industries. Prior to this, there was no national or international standard for shaft alignment, leading to inconsistencies in methodologies and tolerances.
