Fluke 831 laser shaft alignment tool
The Fluke 831 is a laser-based tool for aligning shafts on machinery where the motor and the driven component need to be correctly positioned relative to each other. It is typically used to check and correct the coupling between two machine parts to avoid unnecessary wear and vibrations.
This is not a simple control meter, but a system for precise shaft alignment. Measurement is performed with a single laser and a receiver that works with reflected light. In practice, this means that alignment can be measured more accurately than with traditional methods, and it becomes easier to obtain a usable result on site.
The handheld unit is built for tough industrial use and is IP68-protected, making it resistant to dust and short-term submersion. The sensor is IP65, and the reflector is IP67. This is relevant when the equipment is used near machinery, where dust, dirt, and handling during operation and service are common.
The Wi-Fi connection enables wireless transfer of measurement data for further processing in ARC 4.0, and up to 8 measurement points can be used on vertical machines. This is useful when alignment requires multiple measurements to achieve the desired result.
The Fluke 831 is particularly suitable for professional maintenance and installation where shaft alignment on driven machinery needs to be controlled. It is relevant if the goal is fewer downtime incidents, reduced wear, and more precise machine adjustment.
