The tool has two components: a laser-transmitting unit and a receiver unit. Each is attached quickly and easily – using a powerful magnet – to the inside or outside face of a belt pulley or chain sprocket. The TKBA 31 can be applied to most machines that use V belts, banded belts and ribbed belts – as well as those with chain sprockets. A laser line is projected from the transmitter to the receiver – which is mounted on the opposite pulley. The tool then corrects for vertical angle, horizontal angle and parallel misalignment – including combinations of all three.
Two laser receiver units
Each unit uses a green laser diode and can be used for distances up to 6 m (20 ft) – including outdoors in sunny conditions
Three targets
Three belt tension checkers
Wear check gauges
Fast, easy attachment – using powerful magnets
Simplified alignment process
Simultaneous adjustment of tension and alignment
Applicable to most machines using V belts, banded belts, ribbed belts – as well as chain sprockets
The TKBA 31 uses a highly visible green laser diode. It can operate over distances up to 6 m (20 ft) – and can even be used outdoors in sunny conditions. Sturdy housings, made from ABS and 2K polymers and an aluminum base help ensure assembly stability and accuracy during alignment.
All components of the TKBA 31, including two green laser transmitters/receivers, three passive targets, wear check gauge, tension checkers and six AAA batteries, are supplied in a sturdy carrying case.
SKF Belt Alignment Tools accurately align pulleys and sprockets and correct for various types of misalignment. TKBA 31 is part of a series of tools offering a simple way to do this.
