SKF now offers a range of three different belt alignment tools to help enable accurate alignment of most industrial belt and chain transmission applications such as V belts, wedge belts and also chain drives.

SKF TKBA 10 and TKBA 20

The new TKBA 10 and TKBA 20 are versatile tools for aligning pulleys and sprockets as they align on the side face. The unit magnetically attaches to the pulley or sprocket face and has no small parts or targets that can get lost. A laser line is projected from the transmitter and reflected

back by the reflector unit on the opposite pulley. Consequently the offset, vertical and horizontal angle misalignment can be easily visualized and corrected.

SKF TKBA 10 utilises a red laser and can be used for distances up to 3 m (10 ft).
SKF TKBA 20 utilises a highly visible green laser and can be used for distances up to 6 m (20 ft). It can even be used outdoors in sunny conditions.

SKF TKBA 40

back by the reflector unit on the opposite pulley. Consequently the offset, vertical and horizontal angle misalignment can be easily visualized and corrected.

The TKBA 40 has a maximum operating distance of 6 m (20 ft).
An optional side adaptor allows alignment of non V-belt pulley types and sprockets

Application Summary
The table below gives a summary of the suitability of the TKBA 10, 20 or 40 for different applications:

	TKBA 10	TKBA 20	TKBA 40
Easy of use and accuracy with V-belt Pulleys	+	+	++
Use on other pulley types and chain sprockets	++	++	Optional side adapter TMEB A2 required
Max distance	3m (10ft)	6m (20ft)	6m (20ft)
Use in sunny environments		++
Use with aluminium pulleys & sprockets	Use G clamp – to fix on face	Use G clamp – to fix on face	Not recommended
Application suitability	If versatility is required (eg V-belts and/or other belts and/or chain sprockets): choose TKBA 10 or 20		If mostly used with V belt applications:

The TKBA 10 and TKBA 20 are now available to order, the TKBA 40 will replace TMEB 2. Please let me know if you need any further clarification.
