SKF Belt Alignment Tool
This belt alignment tool has two components; a unit that emits a single red laser and three targets. Each can be attached quickly and easily (using powerful magnets attached to each unit) to the inside or outside of a belt pulley or chain sprocket. The aligner can be applied to most machines that use V, banded and/or ribbed belts, as well as chain sprockets.
A laser is projected from the unit to the targets (of which are mounted on the opposite pulley) and the tool then corrects for vertical and horizontal angle, including parallel misalignment. Or even a combination of all three!
- Uses a red laser diode and can be used for distances up to 3 m (10 ft)!
- Fast, easy attachment.
- Simultaneous adjustment of tension and alignment.
- Comes in a safe carry box with foam protection and allocated slot for each component!
Typical Applications
SKF Belt Alignment Tools are commonly used in power plants, recycling facilities, chemical plants and food & beverage production.
Belt drives are found in a variety of applications, including HVAC, pump installations, paper mills, flour mills, lathes, milling machines and conveyors. Sprocket drives are often used in agricultural machinery, compressors and engine camshafts.
Aligning belt drives and chain drives accurately helps to reduce wear on belts, pulleys, chains and sprockets. As well as extending belt and pulley life, a precise alignment also reduces machine vibration. Typical benefits of this include improved machine performance, a reduction in unscheduled downtime and lower energy costs.
