EFFECT OF PARALLEL MISALIGNMENT IN ROTATING MACHINERY

Misalignment of shaft in rotating systems is one of the most common faults. Improper aligning of shafts through couplings often  leads to severe vibration problems in many rotating machines. Vibration monitoring is a useful technique which provides valuable information regarding symptoms of machinery failures, and in turn may avoid costly breakdowns. In the present paper experiment investigation of parallel misalignment in rotating machinery is presented
