Misalignment in a machine is a phenomenon where by the axis of rotation of the driver and the driven machine typically a motor and a pump does not coincide.

Misalignment between a pump and motor, causes vibration of the rotating components and bearings. Furthermore, with the coupling flexing, it generates heat and you essentially lose transmission kW to heat, through the coupling.
