For maintenance teams dealing with vibration, premature bearing wear or seal leakage on coupled rotating equipment, the SKF TKSA laser shaft alignment tool offers a precise way to correct misalignment. It is used on pumps, motors, gearboxes and compressors, where even a small offset or angular error translates into higher energy use and shorter component life. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this tool as part of its maintenance and assembly range.
The TKSA label covers SKF's family of laser alignment instruments. When the part number includes -ROD, the kit comes with extension rods that let you position the sensors on larger shafts or across wider gaps. The digits after ROD give the rod length in millimeters, as in TKSA 51-ROD120. Always confirm the full code before ordering, because the base unit plus its accessories determines what the instrument can do in the field.
Plants in food processing, chemical, petrochemical and water treatment rely on these aligners for centrifugal pumps, fans, blowers and coupled electric motors. Maintenance shops that service third-party equipment also use them. Because the laser measurement is non-contact and repeatable, shutdowns move faster and commissioning of new or repaired machines takes less time.
When selecting a unit, look at shaft diameter and separation, coupling type and the space around the machine. Setup calls for clean shaft surfaces, rigid bracket mounting and freedom from heat or vibration that could distort readings. Perform alignment cold or hot according to the process, and log both initial and final values for the equipment history.
SKF TKSA aligners work on the same basic principle as other laser systems, but accessories and software are manufacturer-specific. If you are replacing an existing tool, compare measurement range and available brackets first. MR Industrial Accessories can help you assess interchangeability and identify the complements your application needs.
If you already know the part number of your aligner or the rods you require, send it to MR Industrial Accessories via WhatsApp. We will quote the complete instrument or the specific accessory and confirm the components of the TKSA series.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the -ROD suffix mean in the TKSA part number?
- The -ROD suffix means the aligner includes extension rods for mounting sensors on shafts that are farther apart or have a larger diameter. The number that follows, as in TKSA 51-ROD120, indicates the rod length in millimeters. This accessory is key to adapting the equipment to different machine setups.
- Can it align shafts of different diameters?
- Yes, the bracket and rod system allows the sensors to be adapted to shafts of different diameters. Check the range of each bracket and use the appropriate accessories if needed. For that, the best approach is to consult MR Industrial Accessories with your shaft measurements.
- How do I request a quote for an SKF TKSA aligner?
- Write to us via WhatsApp with the complete part number of the equipment or accessory you need. If you do not have it at hand, tell us the type of machine and the shaft measurements. That way we can identify the right model and send you a quote without delay.
