SKF TKSA 71 Wireless Laser Shaft Alignment

Alignment Applications

The TKSA 71 functions quickly and intuitively using six software apps tailored for different alignment jobs. Designed for use without prior training, these simple-to-use apps are available free of charge for both Android and iOS platforms. Common features include comprehensive, automatic reports, export and sharing options, instructional videos within the app, built-in tolerance guidelines, 3-D live view, disturbance compensation and a fully functional demonstration mode.

– Shaft Alignment – Easy and intuitive alignments of horizontal shafts with additional features including automatic measurement, minimal 40° total rotation, 9-12-3 guidance and alignment customization with target values.
– Vertical Shaft Alignment – Easy and intuitive alignment of vertical shaft machines with shimming support for different bolt configurations.
– Machine Train Alignment – Enables operator to align three connected machines, giving a complete overview of machine train alignment and allowing the operator to select stationary feet.
– Soft Foot – Assists technician in verifying that machine is standing evenly on all four feet. The app supports the operator identifying and correcting a soft foot.
– Spacer Shaft Alignment – Accommodates special requirements of spacer shafts and facilitates the alignment process.
– Values – Allows the shaft alignment tool to be used as digital dial gauges; operators can record absolute, zeroed and halved readings to perform customised alignments with manual calculations.

The SKF Shaft Alignment Tool TKSA 71 has achieved high user satisfaction in wind turbines where its compact, lightweight design has helped technicians to carry the instrument up the tower and perform alignments in very narrow spaces. In general industrial applications, technicians benefit from the tool’s versatility and ease of use, instantly becoming familiar operating the tool and performing machine alignment. Developed especially for demanding alignment tasks, the TKSA 71 provides superior performance in vertical shaft and machine train alignments.
