Halve machinery breakdowns with SKF alignment tools
SKF has enhanced its range of shaft alignment tools with the introduction of two new models that harness the power of lasers to achieve pin-point accuracy.
Designed for ease of use, the new TKSA series includes the competitively priced TKSA 20 and TKSA 40 that can help cut machinery breakdowns by up to 50%, ultimately leading to improved machine reliability and performance, as well as increased productivity and profitability.
Equally important, the correct alignment of shafts, in both horizontal and vertical alignments, helps to extend bearing and shaft service life in many applications, including coupled shafts, pumps, motors, mixers, gearboxes and compressors. This provides greater return on investments, while considerably reducing energy consumption, vibration and noise, and reducing the stress placed on couplings and seals.
By comparison with traditional methods of shaft alignment, the new TKSA devices mean that technicians can easily and accurately align shafts in only a fraction of the time than was previously possible. Both the TKSA 20 and TKSA 40 display real-time configuration values, allowing the results of alignment corrections to be seen as they are being performed.
