The belt alignment tool TKBA 11 has two components; a laser-emitting unit and three passive targets. Each is attached quickly and easily – using a powerful magnet – to the inside or outside face of a belt pulley or chain sprocket. The TKAB 11 alignment tool can be applied to most machines that use V belts, banded belts and ribbed belts – as well as those with chain sprockets.

• Fast, easy attachment with powerful magnets

• Simplified alignment process - - one laser emitter with three passive targets

• Simultaneous adjustment of tension and alignment

Typical applications

SKF Belt Alignment Tools are commonly used in power plants, recycling facilities, chemical plants and food & beverage production.

Belt drives are found in a variety of applications, including HVAC, pump installations, paper mills, flour mills, lathe machines, milling machines and conveyors. Sprocket drives are often used in agricultural machinery, compressors and engine camshafts.

Aligning belt drives and chain drives accurately helps to reduce wear on belts, pulleys, chains and sprockets. As well as extending belt and pulley life, a precise alignment also reduces machine vibration. Typical benefits of this include improved machine performance, a reduction in unscheduled downtime and lower energy costs.

The TKBA 11 uses a red laser diode and can be used for distances up to 3 m (10 ft). Sturdy housings, made from ABS and 2K polymers and an aluminium base help ensure assembly stability and accuracy during alignment.

It runs on 3 × AAA batteries for 32 hours of continuous operation. All components of the TKBA 11 – a single red laser emitter, three passive targets and three AAA batteries – are supplied in a sturdy carrying case.
