Shaft Straightness Tolerance
Shaft Straightness Tolerance
(OP)
Hi
Could anyone please help me with straightness tolerances that apply to pump shafts. I have a shaft (length = 2875mm, diameter 158mm stepping down to approx 130mm) for a cantilever pump and would like to know what straightness tolerance should be used to ascertain whether it needs to be reconditioned/replaced or reused.
Any direct assistance or links which might provide the information would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

We use 0.0005"/ft. as tolerance for straightness.
As long as the bearing fits are within tolerance, shafts may be straightened and reused.
Hope this helps!
