SKF TKSA 71PRO – Comprehensive Wireless Laser Shaft Alignment System

SKF TKSA 71/PRO Measuring units with wireless charging pods Trolley caseWith additional storage space StandardComprehensive accessories and dedicated software applicationsUp to 10 m measurement distance, disturbance compensation, measurement flexibility, only 40° total rotation, automatic measurement and customized alignments with target values Comprehensive Wireless Laser Shaft Alignment System with All Accessories 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 OverviewShaft 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. In essence, the objective is to have a straight line through the centers of all of the shafts of the machines.
