    Good pulley or chain alignment can help reduce unscheduled downtime, and can improve the reliability of your equipment. The SKF Belt Alignment Tool TKBA 11 offer an easy and accurate method to adjust the machinery so that pulleys or sprockets are accurately aligned.

  • Page 7: Principle Of Operation

    2. Principle of operation The TKBA 11 consist of one laser emitting unit that attaches magnetically to the side of the driving pulley or sprocket and three passive targets that also attach magnetically for the driven pulley or sprocket. The transmitter unit emits a laser line that is projected onto the three passive targets ideally and strategically positioned.

    3. Battery installation The TKBA 11 is powered with 3 × AAA alkaline batteries. To insert the new batteries: • Locate the back of the unit on the round end of the emitting unit. • Remove the slotted head screw ( fig.

  • Page 9: Mounting The Units

    4. Mounting the units The TKBA 11 is equipped with powerful magnets, allowing the operator to mount the system on almost any pulley or sprocket face. Mount the units on the pulley or bracket faces to be aligned. • The three passive targets should be mounted onto the pulley or sprocket to be moved or adjusted.

    5. Power on To turn the laser line on, use the main red switch located on the front of the transmitter unit. 6. Alignment condition check The laser line on the three passive targets show the vertical angle misalignment, parallel misalignment or offset. Horizontal angle misalignment is indicated by the offset position of the laser line on the three passive targets with the same distance.

  • Page 12 Fig.7 – Display of parallel misalignment (offset) Fig.8 – Display of all three misalignments combined 12 EN...
  • Page 13 Step 1: Correct vertical angle misalignment by shimming the moveable machine using stainless steel shims such as SKF TMAS shims. Correction of this angular misalignment can be observed on the three passive targets. Place shims beneath the front or rear feet of the moveable machine until the laser line is parallel to the reference lines.
  • Page 14 Step 2: Correct horizontal angle misalignment by adjusting the moveable machine laterally. This can be viewed on the three passive targets during adjustment. Move the machine until the laser line is positioned equidistantly from the three reference lines, the top reference line and the two bottom reference lines.
  • Page 15 Step 3: Correct parallel misalignment (Offset) by adjusting the moveable pulley or machine axially. This correction can be observed on the three passive targets. Move one of the pulleys on its shaft until the laser line exactly matches the three reference lines.
  • Page 16 If Steps 1, 2 and 3 are followed then the alignment of the belt drives should be completed quickly. However, one alignment correction may affect other alignment conditions. Steps 1, 2 and 3 may need to be repeated until the system is completely aligned.

  • Page 17: Troubleshooting And Maintenance

    Ensure that the laser window in the transmitter unit is not obstructed by dirt. If necessary, clean with cotton cloth. Lost calibration If the tool loses its calibration, return the complete tool to SKF for repair. Heavy impacts The transmitter unit is equipped with sensitive optical components. Heavy impacts can affect the function and accuracy of the unit.
