The correct alignment of coupled
and uncoupled shafts is critical says
Schaeffler to achieve high efficiency
and reliability of rotating equipment,
yet about 20% of rotating equipment
is incorrectly aligned. A handheld
laser optical alignment device from
the company is said to enable faster,
easier alignment of shafts in a wide
range of equipment.

Weighing just 800g, FAG Top-
Laser EQUILIGN is a compact
device that guides the user step-bystep
through the measurement
process until correct shaft alignment
is achieved. Graphical operating
instructions and an intuitive
autoflow function ensure all
technicians can use the device.

Waterproof and contaminationresistant
(protected to IP65), it is
powered by batteries or rechargeable
batteries. An integral light meter
automatically adapts the brightness
of the display. Up to 50 measurement
files can be stored on the device.
