SKF Belt Alignment Tool - Laser Class 2, ±0.5 mm/m Accuracy

SKF - TKBA Laser Belt Alignment Tools

Drive belt and pulley misalignment can significantly contribute to noise, vibration, bearing and pulley wear leading to premature bearing failure and costly machine downtime. SKFs Laser Belt Alignment Tools provide faster and more accurate alignment over traditional methods. Increasing bearing life, reducing noise, vibration and minimising wear on pulleys and belts. You can now align all belt drives with just one tool.

Features and Benefits

• Powerful magnets allow fast and easy attachment
• Facilitates simultaneous adjustment of tension and alignment

TKBA 10 & TKBA 20

The TKBA 10 and TBKA 20 series of Belt Alignment Tools offer fast accurate laser alignment of pulleys and sprockets. Using powerful magnets to hold firmly to the pulleys side face, the transmitter projects a line to the receiver (mounted on the opposite pulley). Various indicator lines on the receiver give an immediate visual indication of any offset or misalignment with the belt. The line reflected back to the transmitter showing any horizontal misalignment between the two pulleys.

• Can be used on almost all machines using V belts, ribbed belts as well as chain sprockets
• TKBA 10 utilises a red laser and used for distances up to 3 metres
• TKBA 20 utilises a highly visible green laser and used for distances up to 6 metres and can be used in sunny conditions
• Sturdy aluminium housings ensuring stability and accuracy during the alignment process

TKBA 40

The TBKA 40 Laser Belt Alignment Tool aligns the pulleys V grooves not the side face, providing the most accurate horizontal, vertical and parallel belt alignment. Groove alignment also allows pulleys with differing faces or widths to be aligned with greater confidence. Attached to the pulley using magnets with V guides to aid accurate placement.

• Three-dimensional target area simplifies the alignment process
• V-guides facilitate the alignment of a wide range of V-belt pulleys
• Aligns grooves of a V-belt pulley rather than its face
• Maximum operating distance of 6 metres

SKF Belt Alignment Tool, Laser Class 2, ± 0.5 mm/m Accuracy - TKBA 20

This SKF belt-alignment tool lets you check your pulleys, conveyors and belt drives are properly aligned with accuracy and ease. This means you can avoid the costs of machinery downtime, maintenance and repair that come with belt misalignment. This laser alignment tool is quick and accurate, delivering precise measurements that will help you reduce friction, energy consumption and noise from unnecessary vibration in your machinery. Powerful magnets allow quick attachment to the pulley side. The tool then projects a clearly visible green laser to the receiver mounted on the opposite pulley, so you can easily see and adjust both alignment and belt tension. A sturdy aluminium housing keeps the tool stable at all times.

• Class 2 laser
• Laser wavelength of 532 Nm
• Accuracy level of ±0.5 mm/m
• Weight of 1.4 kg
• Battery-operated

Application Information

• Automated conveyancing
• Assembly-line manufacturing
• Agriculture and food production

What's the maximum distance between pulleys?

The TKBA 20's laser works at pulley distances of up to six metres (20 feet), so it will fit most applications. The TKBA 10 is also available for shorter distances (up to three metres).

Can I use this tool outside?

Yes. The TKBA 20 has a green laser that can even be used outdoors in sunny conditions.
