SKF’s new TKSA 41 shaft alignment tool delivers an advanced laser alignment solution that improves uptime and lowers energy and maintenance costs. It allows quick, simple and accurate shaft alignment on medium to large size applications including motors, fans, pumps and compressors.
Shaft misalignment is one of the most significant contributors to premature machine failures. It can lead to poor machine performance, increased noise and vibration, premature bearing wear, higher coupler wear rates and accelerated deterioration of the mechanical seal.
With innovative features such as free and automatic measurements and QR codes recognition, the TKSA 41 greatly facilitates the alignment task. Free measurement allows a measurement to be started at any angular position. Automatic measurements allow for convenient hands-free operation. The TKSA 41 is able to identify a machine by scanning a QR code sticker. The alignment history which is saved under a unique machine name can be retrieved easily and new alignments can be started and added to the machine library.
The unit’s reporting functionality keeps track of alignment tasks; a report which contains details about the alignment job as well as the user, is automatically generated at the end of each alignment job. Users can choose between wireless Bluetooth 4.0 LE communication or wired communication via USB cables.
