To maximize the performance of your laser shaft alignment system, Hamar Laser offers a full range of precision-engineered accessories designed to work seamlessly with both our current X-Series™ and legacy Stealth Series™ platforms. From rugged shaft brackets, extension chains, and non-rotating shaft assemblies to magnetic bases, offset brackets, and Light Shields for outdoor use, these accessories are built to increase measurement flexibility, simplify tough setups, and ensure consistently accurate, repeatable results, even in challenging environments or tight spaces.
Best of all, every accessory is fully cross-compatible across both system generations. Whether you’re upgrading a legacy Stealth Series system or expanding your X-Series capabilities, there’s no need to invest in new tools. Your existing accessories carry over effortlessly. This universal compatibility protects your investment, reduces training and inventory complexity, and helps you stay productive across evolving alignment needs.
Designed for flexibility, our Shaft Bracket Extension Chains allow the standard X-Series™ mounting brackets to fit larger shaft diameters or hard-to-reach coupling areas. These high-strength, durable chains make it easy to secure the laser and target heads on oversized or non-standard shafts, ensuring stability and accurate measurements, even in challenging alignment setups.

Assumptions for this example: You have a 480 volt motor drawing 40 amps and operating 8400 hours/year. The Power Factor is .85. Electricity costs $0.06/kWhr. Also assume that the amp draw is measured before and after the alignment and it is found that there is a 1 amp difference.
kW =V* A*PF*1.732/1000
kW =480V* 1A*.85*1.732/1000
kW =.706 = power savings
Savings ($) = operating hours * kW savings * kW cost
Savings ($) = 8400 * .706 * $0.06/kWhr
Savings ($) = 8400 * .706 * $0.06/kWhr
Savings ($) = 355.82
If your plant has 80 similar motors, and if only half of them had the same amount of savings, it would total $355.82 * .5 = $14,232!
The coupling icons next to the data displays show the direction of the misalignment at the coupling and update as you move or shim the motor! You can also zoom in on the coupling to show them in the live display area of the screen.
