SKF TKSA 71 – Comprehensive Wireless Laser Shaft Alignment Sys

SKF TKSA 71 Easy-to-use – Intuitive software applications, guided alignment processes and explanatory videosWide range of applications – Comprehensive accessories and dedicated software applicationsSuperior alignment performance – Up to 10 m measurement distance, disturbance compensation, measurement flexibility, only 40° total rotation, atomatic measurement and customized alignments with target valuesProtection against harsh environments – Completely sealed measuring units (IP67) to withstand dust and water Comprehensive Wireless Laser Shaft Alignment System Designed for professional alignment in harsh industrial environments, the TKSA 71 complements SKF’s offering with a high-end shaft alignment tool. The instrument is very versatile with ultra-compact measuring units for use in extremely narrow spaces. Its dedicated software applications enable different types of alignments, including horizontal and vertical shafts, spacer shafts and machine trains. Superior alignment performance and long-term industrial durability are achieved with an innovative instrument design that offers high measurement accuracy and excellent protection against dust and water in harsh environments.Shaft Alignment Overview Shaft misalignment is one of the most significant and most preventable contributors to premature machine failure. When a machine is placed in service with less than optimal shaft alignment, the following conditions are likely:Poor machine performanceIncreased power consumptionIncreased noise and vibrationPremature bearing wearAccelerated deterioration of gaskets, packing, and mechanical sealsHigher coupling wear ratesIncreased unplanned downtimeProper alignment is achieved when the center lines of each shaft are co-linear when the machine is under load and at normal operating temperatures. This is often referred to as shaft-to-shaft alignment. If the shafts of a machine train are not co-linear, when the machine is in operation, they are misaligned.
