Schaeffler has launched the FAG Top-Laser Equilign, a handheld laser optical alignment device that enables the fast, straightforward alignment of shafts in rotating equipment such as fans, motors, pumps, gearboxes, ventilators and compressors.
The IP65-rated device — which weighs just 800g — guides the user, step by step, through the measurement process until correct shaft alignment is achieved.
According to the company, the correct alignment of coupled and uncoupled shafts is important in order to achieve the high efficiency and reliability of rotating equipment.
A correctly aligned shaft means less friction and vibration are generated by the drive system, which means less wear on belts, pulleys, bearings and seals. This means the running time and reliability of rotating machinery is increased, energy costs are kept to a minimum and overall plant efficiency is improved.
Key features and benefits
* Graphical operating instructions and an intuitive autoflow function ensure that all maintenance technicians can use the device, regardless of their skills or experience.
* The FAG Top-Laser Equilign is waterproof and contamination resistant, which means that plant and maintenance engineers can use the device in harsh industrial environments.
* The device is powered by batteries or rechargeable batteries and so is ready to use at all times.
* In poor light conditions, an integral light meter automatically adapts the brightness of the display to suit the environment.
* Its ergonomic, lightweight design allows the user to operate the device using both thumbs.
* The FAG Top-Laser Equilign benefits from a real-time display that indicates any horizontal or vertical movements during alignment; up to 50 measurement files can be stored directly on the device.
* The device is supplied with a carry case and a range of accessories, including mounting brackets, a reflector, chains, posts and batteries.
* A set of 360 shims (20 shims in three sizes and six thicknesses) and a withdrawal tool are available for eliminating vertical misalignment and ‘soft foot’.
* An accessory kit is available for larger shaft diameters or coupling heights, which includes various sizes of posts and chains, as well as magnetic holders.
