Geometrical dimensioning and tolerance (GD&T) are an important element of the industry that uses high-speed rotation. Poor geometrical tolerance (GT) to components will cause the rotor to become unbalanced. Unbalanced rotor and shaft misalignment are the two major sources of vibration in the rotating system. This paper compares geometrical characteristics (GCs) to investigate the effects of vibrations generated by different GCs. Only four GC shafts were compared, straightness, parallelism, cylindricity, and concentricity, referring to the GD&T standard as ASME Y14.5-2009. These four GCs were selected owing to their direct involvement in the rotating system. Specimens are constructed with parameters of the same dimensions, length, and GT values only differ from GCs. Specimens were measured using a digital gage to find the GT value near 3000 micron at 3 mm. The magnitude of the shaft vibration during rotation was recorded using a VA-12 vibration analyzer with different rotational speeds: 510, 770, and 900 rpm. From the vibration data, the GCs’ effect on the rotation shaft will be determined. GCs are found to have significant effects on the rotation of the shaft that should be considered in the design, installation, and maintenance of rotating shafts. The impact and degree of damage to critical parts of the system can serve as a benchmark for further studies for the optimization of tolerance values and for the maintenance of component performance.
