Belt alignment tool TKBA 40

Application Description
Precise alignment of belt driven The TKBA 40 consists of one laser unit
machinery is essential to increase belt and one receiver unit, which attach
and pulley life and reduce vibration as magnetically to the grooves of each
well as energy costs. The TKBA 40 belt pulley. The laser unit emits a laser line
alignment tool offers an easy and which is projected onto a three-
accurate method to adjust the dimensional target area on the opposite
machinery so that the grooves of the V- receiver unit. Depending on the laser
belt pulleys are accurately aligned. pattern projected on the receiver unit,
the user can determine the type of
misalignment and how to correct it. Belt
alignment is easily performed by
adjusting the moveable machine(s) until
the laser line coincides with the
reference lines on the receiver unit. For
chain sprockets and timing and ribbed
belts alignment, the side adapter TMEB
A2 is available as an accessory.

Determining the type of misalignment

The laser line emitted from the laser unit will now appear on the receiver unit.
The pattern will vary depending on the type of misalignment, as shown in figures below

Display of horizontal angle misalignment

Display of parallel misalignment Display of all three misalignments combined
