SKF Maintenance Products, a division of the SKF
Group, has extended its range of precision
alignment tools with the introduction of the
SKF shaft alignment tool TMEA 2, a laser-driven
shaft alignment tool. Developed to further
enhance plant efficiency and productivity, this
addition to SKF’s range of instruments will be
welcomed in all industries where rotating
machinery is used.
Shaft misalignment is responsible for up to 50
percent of rotating machinery breakdowns. These
breakdowns increase unplanned machinery
downtime, resulting in higher maintenance
costs. Additionally, misaligned shafts can
increase friction, resulting in higher energy
consumption and can cause premature bearing
failures. To this end, industries spend vast
amounts each year to remedy the effects of
misaligned shafts.
Traditional alignment methods do not produce
the high degree of accuracy required by today’s
precision machinery and are often time
consuming. In contrast, SKF’s new shaft
alignment tool TMEA 2 combines pinpoint laser
accuracy with simplicity of use.
