More Than Just an Accessory:
Essential Tools for Precision Laser Alignment
Whether you’re aligning pumps, motors, or complex turbo machinery, using the proper mounting bracket makes all the difference. Poorly fitted brackets can throw off your measurements, leading to misalignment, soft foot, or dynamic measurement issues. That’s why laser alignment brackets from Prüftechnik (a Fluke Reliability company) are engineered for precision, durability, and ease of use — built to support accurate measurements from the start.
What Sets Prüftechnik Brackets Apart
Every bracket is designed to make alignment faster, easier, and more reliable, no matter the setup. Because even the most advanced laser system can only perform as well as the hardware securing it in place.
01
Quick Mount
Most brackets come fully assembled and ready to use for fast and easy mounting.
02
Works with Every Prüftechnik Alignment Tool
All brackets are designed to fit the sensors used with RotAlign, OptAlign, and ShaftAlign —no adapters or extra configuration needed.
03
Built for Precision
Engineered for durability and alignment accuracy even in tight, high-vibration, or hard-to-access environments.
04
Brackets for Every Machine
Magnetic, chain, bolt-hole, and Cardan options for any shaft or coupling challenge.
| Bracket Type | Mounting Method | Shaft Size Range | Use Case | Key Capabilities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compact Chain-Type | Chain | 15–200 mm (5/8″–7 7/8″) | General-purpose | Pre-mounted in case, mounts in under 60 seconds |
| Compact Magnetic | Magnetic | Any (ferromagnetic surfaces) | Narrow flanges, large couplings | Four strong magnets, easy to adjust |
| Magnetic Sliding | Magnetic + sliding | 80 mm (3 1/8″) and up | Non-rotating shafts | Slides between positions, works on vertical/horizontal surfaces |
| Extra-Thin | Magnetic + slip-nut | Up to 160 mm (6 5/16″) | Tight spaces between shaft and housing | Only 8 mm clearance, fast mounting with slip nuts |
| Magnetic Bolt Hole | Magnetic (through bolt hole) | Large couplings | Limited radial clearance | Mounts below rim, directs laser through bolt hole |
| Cardan Shaft | Rotating arm | 50–500 mm (2″–20″) | Cardan shaft alignment (no removal) | ALI 2.451 (limited rotation), ALI 2.461 (180° rotation) |
