SKF TKSA MAGBASE mounting and maintenance tools

SKF TKSA MAGBASE belongs to mounting and maintenance tools, part of our Mounting and maintenance tools range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for TKSA MAGBASE and any equivalents.

The SKF TKSA is an instrument for checking and correcting the alignment of rotating machinery: pumps, motors, gearboxes and fans. It works by directing a laser beam onto detectors, so parallelism and angularity between shafts can be corrected without doing the math by hand. We supply it as part of our assembly and maintenance range, alongside bearings, brackets and chain drives. Send the code that appears on the tool or its case and we will prepare your quote.

The letters TKSA mark the SKF family of laser shaft alignment tools. When MAGBASE appears in the code, the set ships with a magnetic base used to hold the brackets against the machine. The characters after TKSA generally point to the specific model, its measuring range and the accessories bundled with it, so the full code is what identifies your configuration. Share it with us and we will confirm what that version includes.

Typical users are process, food, water treatment, cement and petrochemical plants, plus maintenance shops. Centrifugal pumps, electric motors, gearboxes and blowers are the usual candidates for this kind of work. Correct shaft alignment helps cut vibration, reduce seal wear and lower energy consumption. The tool pairs well with the pullers, induction heaters and torque wrenches we carry, and with the bearings and housings we supply.

Selection depends on shaft diameter, the gap between the two machines and how much room you have around them. The magnetic base needs a clean, flat surface to hold; on aluminum or painted flanges, chain or clamp brackets are the better choice. Check the battery and the laser calibration before you start measuring. Run the alignment with the machine at operating temperature, or apply a thermal growth compensation if that is not practical.

Brackets, chains, extensions and reflectors from the same SKF family are designed to work with these tools. If other brands are already in your shop, compare measuring range and mounting style before combining parts. We can review interchangeability of brackets and accessories against your shaft diameter and available working space.

If you have the code for the alignment tool or for the machine being aligned, send it to us on WhatsApp or by email. We will quote the tool together with the brackets and accessories the job requires, and we can advise on setup and commissioning.
