SKF's BeltAlign TMEB 2 - Precise Belt Alignment
The SKF BeltAlign TMEB 2 can assist in preventing one of the most common reasons for unplanned downtime of belt-driven machinery - pulley misalignment. Misalignment can increase the wear on pulleys and belts, causing vibration and noise, ultimately leading to the premature failure of bearings and other components.
Traditionally, belt arrangements are aligned using either trial and error adjustments, or a mechanical tool that enables the face or edge of pulleys to be aligned. However, neither of these methods is accurate or suitable for modern, precision machinery where even a small degree of misalignment will rapidly lead to component damage or sudden failure.
SKF's BeltAlign TMEB 2, provides a simpler, user-friendly interface and is extremely competitively priced. Unlike competing methods, the latest BeltAlign unit fits within the pulley grooves, as greater accuracy can be obtained by placing the unit exactly where the belt runs.
This method ensures accurate alignment, even when the pulleys are of different diameter or width. The BeltAlign unit features a laser-emitting unit and a receiver unit, plus V-guides and powerful magnets to allow simple, quick fitment.
A three-dimensional target area on the receiver unit allows misalignment to be detected easily and the degree of inaccuracy to be determined in horizontal, vertical or parallel axes, or a combination of all three axes.
