SKF TKBA 40 Belt Alignment Tool

Tools Set Belt-driven machinery must be precisely aligned in order to increase belt and pulley life – and reduce both machine vibration and energy costs. SKF’s TKBA 40 Belt alignment tool offers a straightforward way to do this, by accurately aligning the grooves of V-belt pulleys. It can correct for vertical angle, horizontal angle, and parallel misalignment. The tool has two components – a laser-emitting unit and a receiver unit. It uses powerful magnets and V-guides to fit to the pulley’s grooves, allowing the TKBA 40 to be attached quickly and easily.
