Understanding Coupling Misalignment: Angular, Parallel, and Axial Explained Shaft misalignment comes in three forms: angular (shafts meet at a slight angle), parallel (shafts run side by side but offset), and axial (shafts move slightly toward or away from each other along their length, sometimes called end-float). Every flexible coupling is rated for a maximum amount […]
