Parallel misalignment occurs when the two shafts are displaced in the horizontal or vertical directions. Angular misalignment occurs when one of the shafts is at an angle relevant to the other.
Parallel Misalignment: This occurs when the centerlines of the two shafts are parallel but offset from each other. Imagine two parallel lines that are side-by-side but not overlapping; that's essentially what parallel misalignment looks like. The shafts are displaced, meaning there's a distance between their centerlines, but they remain parallel.
Angular Misalignment: This happens when the centerlines of the two shafts intersect at an angle. Think of two lines that meet at a point, forming an angle; this illustrates angular misalignment. The shafts are not parallel; instead, they are oriented at an angle relative to each other.
key differences:
| Feature | Parallel Misalignment | Angular Misalignment |
|---|---|---|
| Shaft Orientation | Centerlines are parallel but offset | Centerlines intersect at an angle |
| Description | Shafts are displaced but remain parallel | Shafts are not parallel and are oriented at an angle |
| Visual Analogy | Two parallel lines side-by-side | Two lines intersecting at a point |
