Chrisitine, The only info I have read, relates to L10 or bearing life. This is a cube function or twice the misalignment one eighth the life. I have tracked a number of machines for vibration and amperage before and after laser alignments. Unfortunatly, all I can conclude, is an improvement of running condition. The intention was to look at machine X and say, by alignment, there will be a Y amp savings in power consumption.
Every machine seems to respond differently.
