Belt pulley alignment device FAG Top-Laser SMARTY2

FAG Top-Laser SMARTY2

The FAG Top-Laser SMARTY2 is an

economical measuring device for
the alignment of belt pulleys and
chain sprockets.
Through the use of this device, the
wear of belts, belt pulleys, bearings
and seals is reduced. Less vibration
is generated and the running time
and reliability of the machinery is
increased.

Features and advantages

• Parallelism and misalignment of

both pulleys displayed
• Significantly quicker and more
precise than other, conventional
methods Alignment of belt pulleys
• Suitable for both horizontally and
vertically mounted machinery
• Only one person required for Types of misalignment

 Tools for shaft couplings
Shaft alignment device FAG Top-Laser INLINE2

Easy to use
Before alignment, eliminate any soft foot (see page 8).
Mount the chain clamping device at the same angle on
both sides of the shaft coupling.
Mount the transceiver on the side of the shaft coupling
defined as stationary (pump, ventilator).
Mount the reflector on the side of the shaft coupling
defined as movable (motor).
Connect the transceiver to the netbook using the USB
adapter. The FAG Top-Laser INLINE2 software will start.

Enter three machine dimensions, see example

“Input data for coupling”.

Entering machine dimensions

Enter position of transceiver and reflector relative

to the coupling.
The laser beam is centred on the screen in accordance
with the instructions, see example “Scan”.

The deviations in the horizontal and vertical directions

are measured by rotating the coupled shaft by at least
70° (in any direction).

Rotating the shaft for measurement

The result is given as the amounts in mm (inch),

by which the front or rear foot must be adjusted up or
down (by inserting or removing the shims FAG Top-Laser
SHIM, see page 13). The horizontal alignment can be
monitored and corrected in real time on the screen
(live view).

Finally, correct alignment is checked by means of a

verification measurement.
