What is the SKF TKSA 31?

The SKF TKSA 31 is SKF's most affordable laser shaft alignment tool, designed for horizontal shaft alignment. It features a dedicated 5.6-inch colour resistive touchscreen display, wired USB connectivity, 3-position measurement (9-12-3 o'clock), live view correction values, automatic measurement, soft foot detection, and automatic PDF reporting — all in a compact, easy-to-use system.

What is the difference between SKF TKSA 31 and SKF TKSA 51?

The SKF TKSA 31 uses wired USB cables and its own dedicated 5.6-inch touchscreen display, while the SKF TKSA 51 connects wirelessly via Bluetooth 4.0 LE to a smartphone or tablet running the free SKF TKSA 51 app. The TKSA 51 offers a larger measuring range (up to 5 m vs 4 m), requires only a 40° minimum rotation (vs 140° for the TKSA 31), and supports 3-D live view. The TKSA 31 is the more affordable, entry-level option.

What is the measuring range of the SKF TKSA 31?

The SKF TKSA 31 has a system measuring distance of 0.07 to 4 metres (0.23 to 13.1 ft). With the supplied USB cables, it can measure up to 2 metres (6.6 ft).

Does the SKF TKSA 31 use Bluetooth?

No, the SKF TKSA 31 uses wired USB cables to connect the measuring heads to its dedicated display unit. If you need wireless Bluetooth connectivity with a smartphone or tablet, consider the SKF TKSA 51.

What shaft diameters can the SKF TKSA 31 handle?

The SKF TKSA 31 supports shaft diameters from 20 to 150 mm (0.8 to 5.9 in.) with the included V-brackets and chains. With optional extension chains (not included), it can accommodate shafts up to 300 mm (11.8 in.) in diameter.

What is included in the SKF TKSA 31 box?

The SKF TKSA 31 comes with 2 measuring units (M & S), a display unit, 2 shaft brackets with chains (400 mm) and threaded rods (150 mm), a chain tightening rod, a power supply with EU/US/UK/AUS adapters, 2 USB cables, a measuring tape, a printed certificate of calibration and conformance, a printed quick start guide, and an SKF carrying case.

Is the SKF TKSA 31 suitable for beginners?

Yes. The SKF TKSA 31 is designed with an intuitive touchscreen interface, step-by-step on-screen guidance, and automatic measurement capability. It requires no special training and is ideal for both entry-level technicians and experienced maintenance professionals.

How accurate is the SKF TKSA 31?

The SKF TKSA 31 provides measuring accuracy of less than 0.5% ±5 µm, ensuring precise and repeatable shaft alignment results for industrial rotating machinery.
