COUPLING SURVEYS


At Altheus Infrared, Inc., we are the experts in infrared coupling surveys. 

  • We have the experience to detect lubrication failure, alignment issues or wear on a wide range of couplings.

  • We carefully select the best high speed infrared imaging equipment to capture anomalies on even the fastest spinning couplings  -  with excellent results.

  • Our reports are complete with infrared & visual photos, containing temperatures.

  • We utilize strobe lights, flash cameras, thermal imaging... whatever it takes to detect an anomaly.

  • Coupling types we regularly scan:  gear couplings, grid couplings, Wrap-Flex & Atra-Flex couplings, orange-peel couplings, disk-pak couplings, Dodge (rubber tire) couplings, Lovejoy couplings, sleeve and Sure-Flex rubber insert style couplings 

Take a look at a few samples...we have hundreds of sample photos of heating couplings!

Gear couplings, Rubber insert couplings, Wrap-Flex couplings, Orange Peel couplings, Lovejoy couplings... all in various states of misalignment, wear or failure modes.

Likely misaligned wrap-flex coupling
Rubber insert misalignment will lead to wear & eventual failure.  IR and visual shown.
