SKF has introduced the TKSA 60 and TKSA 80 shaft alignment systems. Designed for both novices and experienced users, the new systems provide a complete built-in alignment process that takes users from preparation and evaluation all the way through to correction and documenting the results achieved. Each system’s built-in wireless module eliminates the need for additional cables and devices, creating a faster, more efficient tool to collect the necessary alignment data. Both units cover a complete spectrum of alignment needs for rotating machinery.
The SKF TKSA 60 is designed for individuals with fundamental alignment knowledge, but without extensive experience. The system reminds users of the correct tools and materials to use before going to the location where the alignment takes place. A built-in visual inspection process helps users identify oil levels, leakages and wear indications. It also helps users compare inspection results to specifications and prioritise corrective actions. Both the TKSA60 and 80 provide a colour screen for detailed graphics and a measuring distance of up to 10 metres.
A more advanced unit, the SKF TKSA 80, includes all of the features of the TKSA 60 and additional features including a comprehensive database structure to store OEM specifications for a wide range of rotating equipment. The system also enables users to create and store templates for plant machinery, building and alignment sequence history, all of which optimise management of the alignment process. The TKSA 80 also accommodates large machine train alignment, and reminds users to perform a run out check to look for bent shafts.
In addition to their built-in alignment process and wireless modules, the SKF shaft alignment systems display values and guidance in real time for accurate horizontal and vertical misalignment corrections. Graphics can be swapped from one side of the machines to the other to accommodate user position. Additionally, an energy efficiency indicator shows the estimated energy wasted due to shaft misalignment.
