Misalignment
Misalignment has been the most widespread mechanical problem in industry today.
High levels of misalignment is that it induces high vibration levels leading to
premature failure of expensive machine components and increased energy demands as well.
Misalignment is now probably one of the leading causes of bearing failures as well.
Alignment
The misalignment consists on the deviation of the shaft position from the axis rotation when the equipment is working.
Types of misalignment: Angular, Parallel and Radial
