SKF
Alignment Tools
SKF alignment tools are precision laser-based and mechanical instruments used to align coupled shafts, pulleys, belts, and chain sprockets. The range includes shaft alignment systems (TKSA series), belt alignment tools (TKBA series), and geometric measurement tools. Correct alignment is essential for the reliability and efficiency of rotating machinery. Misalignment causes increased bearing loads, higher vibration, seal failure, coupling wear, and elevated energy consumption. SKF’s laser alignment tools are intuitive, rugged, and provide real-time measurement and correction guidance via a display or mobile app. They allow a single technician to achieve precise alignment quickly, a task that traditionally required two skilled fitters and a dial gauge. Investing in SKF alignment tools reduces unplanned downtime, lowers spare parts consumption, and saves energy — typically paying for themselves within months through reduced maintenance costs.

Energy Savings
Correct alignment reduces motor power consumption by 2-5%.
Shaft Alignment: The Foundation of Rotating Equipment Reliability
Laser shaft alignment with an SKF TKSA system measures the angular and offset misalignment between two coupled shafts and guides the technician through the required corrections at the machine feet. The process eliminates the guesswork of straight-edge methods and the complexity of dial indicators, making precision alignment accessible to all maintenance technicians.
Belt Alignment for Optimal Drive Efficiency
Misaligned pulleys cause rapid belt and pulley wear, increased vibration, and energy loss. SKF’s TKBA belt alignment tools use laser lines to visually align the pulley grooves in a matter of seconds. Correct belt alignment extends belt life by up to 50% and maintains the transmission’s designed efficiency.
