Help your bearing achieve its maximum service life

Every bearing has a certain service life potential. However, research has shown that, for various reasons, not every bearing achieves it. Important stages which have a major impact on a bearing service life can be recognized during the bearing’s life cycle. These stages are mounting, lubrication, alignment, basic condition monitoring and dismounting. The stages in a bearing life cycle are extremely important for achieving the maximum service life of the bearing. By applying the right maintenance practices and using the correct tools, you can considerably extend your bearing’s service life and increase plant productivity and efficiency.

 

 

Hydraulic tools for mounting and dismounting SKF has pioneered the use of hydraulic techniques, which have helped to simplify bearing arrangements and facilitate correct and easy mounting. SKF has also developed a comprehensive range of tools and equipment to put these hydraulic techniques into effect. The SKF hydraulic techniques are often the preferred method for dismounting larger bearings as well as other components. These techniques, which employ hydraulic pumps, nuts and oil injectors, allow the application of substantial forces to dismount bearings or other components.

Hydraulic pumps and oil injectors SKF has developed a comprehensive range to allow the application of substantial forces to mount and dismount bearings or other components.

Hydraulic pump TMJL 50 50 MPa - (7 250 psi)	Hydraulic pump 729124 100 MPa - (14 500 psi)	Hydraulic pump TMJL 100 100 MPa - (14 500 psi) with large oil container	Hydraulic pump 728619 E 150 MPa - (21 750 psi)
Oil injectors 226400 E 300 and 400 MPa (43 500 and 58 000 psi)	Oil injection kits 729101 300 and 400 MPa (43 500 and 58 000 psi)	Oil injection sets THKI series 300 and 400 MPa (43 500 and 58 000 psi)	Impact spanners High impact forces without nut damage
