Gates AT-1 1

The Gates is a laser alignment tool enables precise sheave and pulley alignment for V-belt and synchronous belt drives. Drive misalignment is the primary cause of premature belt edge wear, vibration and bearing failure, laser alignment reduces setup time and ensures the drive meets Gates alignment tolerances.

Where this product is used

• Sheave and pulley alignment during belt drive installation, commissioning and maintenance
• Reducing belt edge wear, vibration and premature bearing failure caused by drive misalignment
• Industrial maintenance programmes where parallel and angular alignment must be confirmed to Gates standards

Features

• Mounts in a few seconds for fast setup
• Compact and lightweight for single-operator use
• Works on horizontal and vertical machine configurations
• Compatible with multi-ribbed, V-belt and synchronous belt drives
• Suitable for pulleys 60mm diameter and larger
• Works with magnetic and non-magnetic pulleys (via adhesive tape)
• Includes 2 magnetic targets with adjustable centreline

Key specifications

Choosing the right option

The Gates AT-1 provides precision laser alignment for V-belt and synchronous belt drives; the DriveAlign 91075 is designed for flat and V-belt sheave pairs. Both tools follow the same parallel-beam alignment principle, mount the transmitter and receiver on opposing sheaves and adjust until the beam is centred. Correct alignment is the single largest factor in belt and bearing service life.
