Coupling Inspections
WHY RELIABILITY SOLUTIONS?
OUR MISSION
At Reliability Solutions, our mission is to help clients achieve Profitable Results® through the proactive care and maintenance of every critical connection within their operations including couplings. We believe reliability starts at the smallest points of contact, where precision and attention to detail prevent costly breakdowns and extend equipment life.
Through our Coupling Inspection Services, we partner with industrial teams to establish structured, repeatable inspection programs that ensure every coupling in your plant operates at peak performance. Our meticulous process from disassembly and cleaning to torque verification and documentation empowers maintenance teams with the data and confidence they need to prevent failure before it happens.
By transforming coupling care into a disciplined, data-driven practice, we help organizations strengthen asset reliability, reduce downtime, and uphold the highest standards of Reliable Manufacturing®.

FAQ
What is a machine coupling and why is it important?
A coupling connects two rotating shafts to transmit power. Properly maintained couplings prevent excessive vibration, misalignment, and equipment damage. Neglecting them can lead to costly machinery failures and downtime.
What does a coupling inspection involve?
Our process includes:
- Disassembly and cleaning of the coupling
- Documentation of current condition (as-found)
- Bolt torque verification
- Re-greasing with your choice of lubricant
- Replacement of gaskets and seals
- Key orientation correction
- Detailed reporting of as-found and as-left condition
What are the benefits of regular coupling inspections?
- Prevents damage to connected machinery
- Reduces unexpected downtime
- Extends equipment life
- Improves reliability and efficiency
- Provides documented history for maintenance records
Can you inspect a single coupling or an entire plant?
Yes. We can inspect a single coupling, multiple units, or manage your entire plant’s coupling inspection program. We can handle any level of assistance from full management to partial support.
How quickly are issues addressed?
If a problem is found during inspection, our team notifies your designated contact immediately so corrective action can be taken before it escalates into costly downtime.
Do you provide reports for each inspection?
Yes. Each coupling inspection includes a detailed report documenting the as-found and as-left condition, bolt torque readings, and any recommendations for repair or replacement.
