Detailed Description
It’s a known fact—all rotating machinery is susceptible to misalignment.
Machines that are well aligned at the commissioning stage and regularly maintained will have reduced wear in couplings, bearings, and seals, all of which means reduced plant operating and maintenance costs.
Precision shaft alignment contributes to energy savings and a cleaner environment. It protects assets, extends machine availability, and increases product quality, reducing vibration to a minimal level. Are you still using dial indicators and straightedges to ensure your shaft-driven machines are correctly aligned? If so, you could be losing thousands of dollars per year in replacement bearing and coupling costs, hours of unnecessary repair time, and crippling unplanned downtime, not to mention taking years off your machine’s useful life.
Due to its rugged sensALIGN® 3 sensor and reflector, the Fluke 831 Laser Shaft Alignment tool can handle almost any mainstream machine alignment challenge. With its problem-solving Adaptive Alignment features, the 831 offers you an unbeatable price-performance ratio.
Key Features:
- Fast, easy, and precise alignment that adapts to your needs.
- Rugged build and the highest-in-class IP rating.
- Single-laser technology for the fastest, most accurate laser alignment.
- Cloud connection enables real-time collaboration.
- Use up to 8 measurement points to achieve precision alignment on vertical machines

High performance and precise results
The Fluke 831 leverages powerful tools like a unique extend mode to
handle gross misalignment and an integrated Thermal Growth Calculator
that automatically factors the dynamic machine changes into the result.
Quick setup and intuitive user interface
Its quickly mounted setup and tablet-like, intuitive guided user interface make the 831 more user-friendly than any other conventional
measurement method. Align coupled shafts in four quick, easy steps.
Share data via the cloud
You can leverage its integrated Wi-Fi cloud solution to easily transfer
data from the 831 handheld device to the ARC 4.0 PC software.
Precision laser alignment made easy
The rugged Fluke 831 has an intuitively guided user interface that enables quick and complete shaft alignment without advanced training or complicated programs. And while it’s easy to use, laser alignment with the Fluke 831 is powerful enough for the skilled technician. You can cover more of your machines with all the functionality needed on the plant floor, from thermal growth to user-defined tolerances and more.
Reduce costs by avoiding downtime
Misalignment causes at least half of all damage to rotating machinery, studies show. Instead of fixing the problem, teams often just treat the symptoms of misalignment and replace bearings, couplings, and seals because they think alignment takes too long.
Contrary to expectations, laser alignment can be fast and easy. So, every machine that is repaired and overhauled should be aligned – not just a few. Teams that embrace laser alignment can save thousands of dollars per year by avoiding downtime and energy waste and reducing the number of bearings and seals they have to replace.
Adaptive Alignment: Adapt to the situation:
Measure over different types of couplings
The Fluke 831 provides a wide range of coupling types, making it easier for the user to receive an optimal measuring result without deviating from the specific tolerances. Choose the right coupling adapted to your on-site situation:
• short flex coupling
• spacer shaft
• single plane coupling
• uncoupled shafts
• further various default coupling formats
Adaptive Alignment: Adapt to the asset
The best results for use on mainstream machines
How the Fluke 831 improves the performance of traditional alignment tools:
• Faster setup than any dial indicator
• Higher precision than any feeler gauge
• No sagging, even over large distances, due to having laser technology
• Quicker and easier to read results than through a manual matrix calculation
• Ability to operate the device independently from what may be occurring on the coupling/shaft surface
Adaptive Alignment: Adapt to the team
Intuitive user interface to benefit all types of users
PRUFTECHNIK, the inventor and pioneer of laser shaft alignment who are now part of the Fluke Corporation, offers years of experience in designing systems to serve technicians in the field. The Fluke 831 offers a colored 3D user interface that is the key to executing alignment tasks quickly and easily without sacrificing accuracy.
Cloud-based transfer enables data sharing and trending
The Fluke 831 offers Wi-Fi connectivity to remotely transfer data from and to the ARC 4.0 PC software, where one can store, share, evaluate, and trend all alignment data. Cloud-transfer capabilities enable entire maintenance teams to stay informed and alerted to potential issues that might interrupt production.
