Bearing Load Measurements (Jack-up test)
Bearing load measurements with the jack-up test: a hydraulic jack lifts the shaft in a controlled way at each bearing position, and the load–lift relationship reveals the true load carried by the bearing.
The method verifies shaft-system alignment as it actually sits — and documents every correction.
Applications
- Ship and yacht shaft system alignment
- Engine crankshaft bearing load verification
- Load distribution optimization
- Alignment correction and validation
