Are
the machine faces "in-phase" or
"out-of-phase"
with one another ?

-
Phase is a common
and reliable way to diagnose misalignment.
-
The procedure
involves conducting an axial phase analysis around bearing faces as well
as from bearing to bearing.
-
The point at which
you find a phase shift of > 30° is typically
the source of a problem (possibly not the only problem).
-
Note in high axial
vibration in the animation shown here. These components are 'angularly
misaligned'.
