07 Setting pulleys using the SKF TKBA 40 tool

Why is it worth it?

Machines driven by V-belts or multi-V-belts require precise alignment of the pulleys to ensure a long service life for the drive system: belts, bearings, couplings, and the machines themselves. Incorrect alignment causes faster wear of components, excessive vibration, noise, increased energy consumption, and more frequent service interruptions. Thanks to the modern SKF TKBA 40 device, we are able to perform quick, accurate measurements and adjustments of pulley alignment, which translates into lower operating costs and higher production safety.

What does our service include?

  • Measurement of the initial condition of the pulley cross (pulley) using the SKF TKBA 40 system.
  • Identification of various types of inaccuracies: vertical angular, horizontal angular, parallel displacement — the device detects all these cases.
  • Adjustment: displacement or support of the machine or its components, axis adjustment, determination of the correct belt tension.
  • Measurement after correction — completion with a report (before/after comparison) and photo documentation on request.
  • Possibility of issuing a performance report, PDF report, archiving of results for maintenance purposes.

We offer:

  • Laser line length: approx. 3 m with a distance of 2 m between units — allows for convenient work with a larger spacing between devices.
  • Measurement accuracy: angular better than 0.2°; displacement better than 0.5 mm.
  • Measuring range: from 50 mm to 6,000 mm (2 in to 20 ft) between units.

Benefits for you:

  • Extended service life of belts, pulleys, and coupling components – thanks to the elimination of misalignment.
  • Reduced operating costs – less wear, fewer replacements, fewer breakdowns.
  • Less vibration and noise, which translates into better working conditions and less stress on machines.
  • Reduction of energy losses – a well-aligned drive operates more efficiently.
  • Fast implementation, documentation for audit – service performed efficiently, with a report confirming completion.
  • High quality thanks to professional SKF equipment – a serious advantage in the context of maintenance.
