Mounting and maintenance tools

Mounting and maintenance tools let your shop install, remove and inspect components without damaging them. With bearings and other press-fit parts the rules never change: no direct blows, controlled heating, and the correct tool for each size. Hit a bearing with a hammer or heat it with a torch and you shorten its service life before it ever runs; the correct tool avoids that damage.

Start with the job: hot mounting, removal, tightening a nut, alignment or condition monitoring. Induction heaters expand the ring uniformly with no flame or oil bath. Pullers and fitting tool kits press the bearing into place or draw it off the shaft or out of the housing. Hook and impact wrenches tighten lock nuts without damaging the threads. Once the task is clear, define the size range of the parts you work on.

Tool designations are short, so order them complete. SKF examples include TKGT 1 and TKGT 1-RK1, where the suffix identifies the version, and numeric part numbers such as 435 or 450237. BGL numbers its items in sequence, HN1, HN2 and HN3, and you order them by that number. A different number or suffix means a different capacity or set of accessories, so do not substitute one tool for another without checking.

Typical uses: plant maintenance, assembly and teardown of rotating equipment, pumps, motors, gearboxes and drives. For jobs you repeat often, a complete kit saves time and lowers the risk of using the wrong piece. We supply SKF and BGL tools. Send the part number, or describe the operation along with the part or shaft dimensions, and we will recommend the tool. Request a quote and we will get back to you shortly.
