SKF Hydraulic Tools for Mounting and Dismounting
SKF hydraulic tools and techniques enable a safe, precise, and controlled way to mount and dismount bearings correctly. This helps to enhance worker safety, reduce the risk of component damage, and achieve longer bearing service life.
Medium and large SKF bearings with a tapered bore are often mounted using hydraulic equipment. Mounting bearings on tapered seatings can be a difficult and time-consuming job. Using an SKF Hydraulic Nut facilitates easy and quick application of the high drive-up forces required for mounting bearings.
Dismounting bearings mounted on either adapter or withdrawal sleeves is also often a difficult and time-consuming job. These problems can be reduced with the use of an SKF Hydraulic Nut. Oil is pumped into the nut and the piston is pushed out with a force, which is sufficient to free the sleeve.
All SKF HMV .E nuts are supplied with a quick connection coupling to fit the SKF hydraulic pumps.
Hydraulic mounting and dismounting techniques include:
- SKF Drive-Up Method
- SKF Oil Injection Method
