Parallel Misalignment

If the machine speed can be varied, the vibration due to imbalance will vary as the square of the speed. If the speed is doubled, the imbalance component will rise by a factor of four, while misalignment-induced vibration will not change in level

Following is a typical vibration spectrum from a misaligned machine.
