Shaft alignment and load
Improper alignment (misalignment) may result in bearing overloads, premature bearing
failures, vibrations and shaft failures. Flexible coupling does not compensate for excessive
misalignment.
The type of the electric machine shaft is W50x2x24x8f. Recommended female connection counterpart is
of type N50x2x24x9H. The flange type is SAE3.
Alignment between the shaft and mating structure must be accurate.
The misalignment can be parallel or angular misalignment, or combination of those. With parallel
misalignment, the center lines of both shafts are parallel but they are offset. With angular misalignment,
the shafts are at an angle to each other. Figures below illustrate the parallel and angular misalignment.
