Abstract

Shaft misalignment can be classified into two types which are angular misalignment and offset misalignment. According to research, misalignment is responsible for about half of all machine failures. Bent rotors or crankshafts, bearing defects, coupling wear or loss, and bearing housing damage are all caused by misalignment. Excessive vibration and sound emission are the key causes of misalignment in rotating machinery. The research problem statement as well as the project's objective have been established. The scope of the study has been discussed. The details related to the project and study have been explained in depth in the literature review section. An automatic self-alignment system that consists of an accelerometer sensor, motor driver, and stepper motor integrates into a single microcontroller (NodeMCU ESP32) has been developed in order to reduce the vibration that occurs by correcting the misalignment. The design and development of the automatic self-alignment system are discussed in the methodology section. The product has then been tested by vibration testing to test the functionality and performance of product. The product is able to do the fine-tuned and can reduce the vibration that occurs during the rotating shaft.
