Laser Belt Alignment Tools
Laser Alignment Tools for Faster, More Accurate Pulley Alignment
Proper pulley alignment is critical to belt life and drive performance. The Bestorq LAT1 and LAT2 Laser Alignment Tools make it easy to identify parallel and angular misalignment, helping maintenance teams achieve accurate drive geometry in minutes.
Using a laser and magnetic targets, the LAT1 and LAT2 provide a clear visual reference for correcting pulley alignment. With accuracy at distances up to 25 feet, these tools help reduce premature belt wear, vibration, energy loss, noise, and unnecessary bearing stress.

FAQ
You Have Questions. We Have Answers.
What causes pulley misalignment?
Pulley misalignment can result from improper installation, equipment movement, component wear, or changes made during maintenance. Both parallel and angular misalignment can negatively affect belt tracking and drive performance.
Why is proper pulley alignment important?
Proper alignment helps reduce premature belt wear, vibration, noise, energy loss, and bearing stress. It can also improve belt tracking and overall drive efficiency.
What is the difference between the LAT1 and LAT2?
The LAT1 is best suited for indoor use.
The LAT2 incorporates a more powerful laser, hi-visibility reflective targets, and is designed for outdoor applications.
When should pulley alignment be checked?
Alignment should be checked during initial installation, after drive components are replaced or adjusted, and as part of routine preventive maintenance.
