SKF Shaft Alignment Tool TKSA 41
The advanced laser shaft alignment system with enhanced measuring and reporting capabilities
The TKSA 41 is an advanced laser alignment solution for achieving accurate
shaft alignments. With two wireless measurement units, large sized detectors
and powerful lasers, the instrument performs precise measurements in even
the most challenging conditions.
The ergonomic display unit with intuitive touch • Automatic reports are generated after each
screen navigation makes your alignments fast alignment. The reports can be customised
and easy, whilst innovative features, like the with notes and pictures from the built-in
Free measurement allows alignment “free measurement”, increase the alignment camera for the most comprehensive
measurements to start at any angle and performance. With the focus on improving overview. All reports can be exported as

1) Depending on the coupling, the brackets can be mounted on the coupling, reducing the coupling heigt limitation.
Shaft alignment is recommended for almost
every industry, as it enables machine
uptime to be significantly improved and
maintenance costs to be reduced. The
simplicity of the TKSA 41 provides greater
confidence for the performance of alignment
tasks on all types of horizontal rotating
machines.
