Bearing Fitting Tools

Bearing fitting tools are essential for the proper installation and removal of bearings in various machinery and equipment. Using the correct tools ensures that bearings are installed without causing damage to the bearing or the housing.

These tools help ensure proper alignment, apply uniform force, and prevent damage to components. Poor-fitting, usually using brute force, accounts for 16% of premature bearing failures.

How can fitting tools help with the mounting and dismounting of bearings?

SKF Fitting Tool Kit TMFT 36The SKF TMFT 36 Bearing fitting toolkit is designed for quick and precise mounting of bearings, minimising the risk of bearing damage.

The right combination of impact ring and sleeve allows effective transmission of mounting force to the bearing ring with the interference fit, minimising the risk of damaging the bearing’s raceways or rolling elements.

Benefits of bearing fitting tools:

  1. Prevents Damage: Proper tools help avoid damage to the bearing, shaft, and housing during installation and removal. This ensures that the bearing operates smoothly and reduces the risk of premature failure.

  2. Ensures Correct Installation: Bearing fitting tools are designed to apply even and controlled force, ensuring that bearings are installed correctly and securely. This helps maintain the correct alignment and fit, which is crucial for the bearing's performance.

  3. Increases Bearing Life: By preventing damage and ensuring correct installation, the use of proper tools can significantly extend the life of the bearing. This reduces the frequency of replacements and maintenance, leading to cost savings.

  4. Reduces Downtime: Proper installation and removal tools make the process quicker and more efficient, reducing machinery downtime. This is especially important in industrial settings where downtime can be costly.

Bearing Fitting Tools FAQs

Why is it important to use bearing fitting tools?

Using the correct tools prevents damage to the bearing and surrounding components, ensures proper installation, extends bearing life, reduces downtime, and improves safety.

What types of bearing fitting tools are available?

Common types of bearing fitting tools include:

  • Bearing pullers
  • Bearing heaters (induction heaters)
