Safety recommendations
• Always turn off the power of the drive machine before you
start working.
• Always read and follow the operating instructions.
• Although the laser diode in the laser unit has an output power of
less than 1 mW, never stare directly into the laser transmitter.
• Never aim the laser beam into another person’s eyes.
• Opening the housing of the laser unit may result in hazardous light
exposure and voids the warranty.
• Take care not to pinch your fingers when mounting the units on
the pulley.
• The equipment should not be used in areas where there is a
risk of explosion.
• Never expose the equipment to high humidity or direct contact
with water.
• Have all repair work performed by an SKF repair shop.

1. Introduction
Precise alignment of belt driven machinery is essential to increase belt and
pulley life, reduce vibration, and reduce energy costs.
The SKF TKBA 40 Belt Alignment Tool offers an easy and accurate method to
adjust the machinery so that the grooves of the V-belt pulleys are accurately
aligned.
1.1 Principle of operation
The TKBA 40 consists of two units that attach magnetically to the grooves
of each pulley. One unit, the laser unit, emits a laser line that is projected
onto the receiver unit. The receiver unit has three target areas with three
reference lines, the top reference line and the two bottom reference lines.
Depending on the laser pattern projected on the target area, it is possible to
determine the type of misalignment and how to correct it. Belt alignment is
easily performed by adjusting the moveable machine(s) until the laser line
coincides with the three reference lines on the receiver unit.

3. Instructions for use
3.1 Selecting V-guides
Four sizes of V-guides are supplied
with the TKBA 40 to fit pulley grooves
of most widths and types. Should you
need to exchange the V-guides for
the smaller or larger one, select and
attach the appropriate V-guides as
shown in figure 2.
Fig 2 Fitting or removal of V-guides
3.2 Attaching laser units
The units are provided with strong
magnets and V-guides. Place the
V-guides of the first unit in the
groove of the first pulley and press
the unit firmly until the magnet
secures it to the pulley.
Fig 3 Mounting the unit
Place the second unit in the opposite
groove of the second pulley.
Position both units facing each other
as shown in figure 4.
Fig 4 Units on pulleys
3.3 Power on
Switch on the laser unit by pressing the ON/OFF button.

3.4 Determining the type of misalignment
The laser line emitted from the laser unit will now appear on the receiver
unit. The pattern will vary depending on the type of misalignment, as shown
in figure 5, 6, 7 and 8.

3.5 Alignment
Before aligning the pulleys it is important that the pulleys are mounted
correctly on the shafts and that the shafts are straight. Buckled pulleys will
have a detrimental effect on the alignment quality. Adjust one (or both) pulley
machine(s) step by step until the laser line hit the three reference lines of the
receiver unit.
Step 1. Elimination of vertical angle misalignment
Place shims beneath the front or rear feet of the moveable machine until the
laser line is parallel to the reference lines (as per figure 11).
Fig 9 Pulleys with all three
misalignments combined
Fig 10 Vertical angle alignment
Step 2. Elimination of horizontal angle misalignment
Move the machine until the laser line is positioned equidistantly from the
three reference lines, the top reference line and the two bottom reference
lines (as per figure 13).
Fig 11 Pulleys with combined horizontal
angle and parallel misalignments
Fig 12 Horizontal angle alignment

12 SKF TKBA 40
Step 3. Elimination of parallel misalignment
Move one of the pulleys on its shaft until the laser line exactly matches the
three reference lines (as per figure 15).
Fig 13 Pulleys with parallel misalignment Fig 14 Parallel alignment
The pulleys are now successfully aligned.
Fig 15 Pulleys perfectly aligned
Note:
When tightening the belt, check the horizontal angle alignment and adjust
if necessary.
Warning:
Switch OFF the laser unit and remove both units BEFORE starting machinery

4. Troubleshooting
4.1 No laser line
• Check that the batteries are inserted correctly in the laser unit.
• Replace the batteries.
• Make sure the optic of the laser unit is not obstructed by dirt.
If necessary, clean with cotton cloth.
4.2 Lost calibration
If for some reason, such as heavy impact, the laser unit loses its calibration,
return the TKBA 40 to SKF for repair.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Handle with care
The laser unit is equipped with sensitive optical components.
Handle it with care. Keep the optic of the laser unit free from dirt.
5.2 Batteries
The laser unit is powered by two LR03 (AAA) batteries. Most LR03 (AAA)
batteries can be used, including rechargeable NiCd cells, but alkaline batteries
have the longest life span. Remove the batteries if the laser unit is to remain
unused for an extended period.

Recommandations de sécurité
• Toujours couper l’alimentation de la machine motrice avant de vous
mettre à l’oeuvre.
• Lire et respecter toujours les instructions d’utilisation.
• Bien que la diode laser de l’unité laser possède une puissance de
sortie inférieure à 1 mW, il ne faut jamais regarder directement
l’émetteur laser.
• Ne jamais diriger le rayon laser sur les yeux de quelqu’un.
• L’ouverture du boîtier de l’unité laser peut entraîner une exposition
lumineuse dangereuse et l’annulation de la garantie.
• Veillez à ne pas vous coincer les doigts lors du montage des
appareils sur la poulie.
• L’appareil ne doit pas être utilisé dans des endroits présentant un
risque d’explosion.
• N’exposez jamais l’appareil à une humidité élevée ou au contact
direct de l’eau.
• Confiez toutes les réparations à un atelier de réparation SKF.

1. Introduction
L’alignement précis de machinerie actionnée par courroie est essentiel pour
augmenter la durée d’utilisation de la courroie et de la poulie, pour réduire
les vibrations et réduire les frais d’énergie. L’outil pour aligner les courroies
SKF TKBA 40 offre une méthode facile et précise pour corriger la machinerie
de façon à ce que les rainures des poulies à courroies trapézoïdales soient
parfaitement bien alignées.
1.1 Principe de fonctionnement
Le TKBA 40 se compose de deux appareils qui se fixent magnétiquement aux
gorges de chaque poulie. Un appareil, l’émetteur de laser, émet une ligne
laser qui est projetée sur le récepteur. Le récepteur comporte trois zones
cibles à trois lignes de référence : la ligne de référence supérieure et deux
lignes de référence inférieures En fonction du type de laser projeté sur la
zone cible, il est possible de déterminer le type de désalignement et comment
le corriger. L’alignement de la courroie s’obtient facilement en réglant la (les)
machine(s) mobile(s) jusqu’à ce que la ligne laser coïncide avec les trois lignes
de référence du récepteur.
