Gates 91075 DriveAlign Laser Alignment Tool

The Gates DriveAlign 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

• 650nm visible laser diode
• Magnetic feet designed to sit in K-section Micro-V pulleys
• Anodised red coating for visibility
• Includes laser tool, target piece and storage case in a blow-moulded plastic housing

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.
