5 Steps to Get the Perfect Fit for your BFM^® Fitting System

Identify the connection type:
- Static inline
- Static offset
- Vibrating
- Oscillating
Measure the total space available between the two points to be connected.
Measure the diameter on all connection points.
Align any offsets/straighten any angles where possible to maintain the integrity of the BFM^® connector.
- Where alignment isn't possible, due to space constraints, offset measurements should be taken.
Measure any offsets or movement:
- Perform the measurement at machine start-up and shutdown to record maximum movement (use slow-motion video).
- Measure maximum movement/offset in one direction from a fixed point.

Once you've got your measurements, download the BFM® Calculator to identify the perfect fit
