Types of misalignment
| Static
misalignment |
There is an initial alignment error between
the two supports of a shaft. |
 |
| Shaft deflection creates misalignment between
bearing inner and outer rings that is constant in magnitude and direction. |
|
|
| Dynamic
misalignment |
Varying shaft deflection creates misalignment between
bearing inner and outer rings that is continuously changing in magnitude or direction. |
