SKF TKBA 10 Belt alignment tools TKBA 10 PULLEY AND SPROCKET ALIGNEMENT  Versatile tool for pulley and sprocket alignment SKF TKBA 20 Belt alignment tools TKBA 20 PULLEY AND SPROCKET ALIGNEMENT  Versatile tool for pulley and sprocket alignment SKF TKBA 10 Belt alignment tools TKBA 40 PULLEY AND SPROCKET ALIGNEMENT  Versatile tool for pulley and sprocket alignment

Versatile tools for pulley and sprocket alignment

The SKF TKBA 10 and TKBA 20 allow pulleys and sprockets to be aligned on the side face. The unit magnetically attaches to the inside or outside face of almost any belt pulley or chain sprocket and has no small parts or targets that can get lost. A laser line is projected from the transmitter unit to the reflector unit mounted on the opposite pulley. A reference line on the reflector unit directly indicates the offset and vertical angle misalignment. The reflected laser line shown on the transmitter unit shows the horizontal angle misalignment of all three.

Features and benefits

  • Powerful magnets allow fast and easy attachment
  • Facilitates simultaneous adjustment of tension and alignment
  • Can be used on almost all machines using V belts, banded belts, ribbed belts and most other belts as well as chain sprockets
  • SKF TKBA 10 utilises a red laser and can be used for distances up to 3 m (10 ft)
  • SKF TKBA 20 utilises a highly visible green laser and can be used for distances up to 6 m (20 ft). It can even be used outdoors in sunny conditions
  • Sturdy aluminium housings help ensure assembly stability and accuracy during the alignment process

Belt alignment tool TKBA 40

Highly accurate tool for V-belt pulley alignment


The SKF TKBA 40 aligns V-belt pulleys in the grooves. V–guides and powerful magnets allow the TKBA 40 to be fitted in the grooves of the pulley. With only two components, a laser–emitting unit and a receiver unit, the belt alignment tool is easy and fast to attach. The three–dimensional target area on the receiver unit allows the easy detection of misalignment as well as its nature; whether it is horizontal, vertical, parallel or a combination of all three.

Features and benefits

  • Powerful magnets allow fast and easy attachment
  • Three-dimensional target area simplifies the alignment process
  • Facilitates simultaneous adjustment of tension and alignment
  • V-guides facilitate the alignment of a wide range of V-belt pulleys
  • Aligns grooves of a V-belt pulley rather than its face, allowing optimum alignment of pulleys of unequal width or with dissimilar faces
  • A maximum operating distance of 6 m (20 ft) accommodates many applications
  • Special side adaptor allowing alignment of multi-ribbed and timing belt pulleys as well as sprockets is available as accessory

SKF announced the introduction of the TKSA 31 shaft-alignment tool for easy laser alignment at an entry-level price. Developed for rotating machines in industrial applications, the instrument helps customers identify and correct shaft mis-alignments to improve equipment uptime and reliability, and lower maintenance costs.

The TKSA 31 and previously announced TKSA 41 are sharing the same design, but TKSA 31 has a lower price than its big brother TKSA 41. In return, the smaller version has lower measurement flexibility and is lacking the camera function that allows pictures to be added to TKSA 41 alignment reports. Both tools are designed to make shaft alignment easy and intuitive, even for operators with minimal experience.

Comprised of two measuring units with large detectors and bright lasers, the TKSA 31 reduces the need for pre-alignment and provides precise measurements, even in challenging conditions. The embedded soft-foot tool helps establish the basis for successful alignment.

The TKSA 31’s liquid crystal display (LCD) with touchscreen navigation makes alignment fast and simple, and measurements can be performed by using the well-known 9-12-3-o’clock positions with additional flexibility of 40º around each. The tool’s live view supports intuitive measurements and facilitates horizontal and vertical machine position corrections.

Because the instrument enables automatic measurements by detecting when the heads are in the correct position, operators can use both hands to rotate and hold the shafts in place. After each alignment, the TKSA 31 automatically generates a customized report with notes about the application, and each report can be exported as a portable document format (PDF) file. The built-in machine library helps to organize alignment reports and provides an overview of all machines.

Shaft alignment tool TKSA 41

The laser shaft alignment system with enhanced measuring and reporting

The TKSA 41 is an advanced laser alignment solution for achieving accurate shaft alignments. With two wireless measurement units, large sized detectors and powerful lasers, the instrument performs precise measurements in even the most challenging conditions. The ergonomic display unit with intuitive touch screen navigation makes your alignments fast and easy, whilst innovative features, like the “free measurement”, increase the alignment performance. With the focus on improving alignment practices, the SKF Shaft Alignment Tool, TKSA 41, is one of the industry’s
best value alignment solutions.

  • Wireless communication improves instrument handling and allows alignment of difficult to reach applications from a safe position.
  • Free measurement allows alignment measurements to start at any angle and finish with an angular sweep of just 90°.
  • Automatic measurement enables hands-free measurements by detecting the head position and taking a measurement when the heads are rotated into the right position.
  • Automatic reports are generated after each alignment. The reports can be customised with notes and pictures from the built-in camera for the most comprehensive overview. All reports can be exported as pdf files.
  • Live view supports intuitive measurements and facilitates horizontal and vertical alignments.
  • Machine library gives an overview of all machines and alignment reports. QR codes can be used to further simplify machine identification and improve the alignment workflow.
