For pulling bearings, pulleys, gears and other interference-fit parts, the SKF TMBS is a hydraulic jaw puller with the cylinder built into the tool. Because the hydraulic drive is integrated, the pulling force comes with very little manual effort, which suits industrial maintenance shops that need to free components without harming the part or the shaft.

Reading the code helps you order the right version. TMBS identifies the family: hydraulic jaw pullers with an integrated cylinder. The figure that follows sets the model size, as seen in TMBS 50E, TMBS 100E and TMBS 150E. The E marks a construction variant in the series, tied to the connection type or the range of use. Quote requests go faster when the full code is included.

Typical users are process plants, petrochemical, steel, cement, paper and power generation sites where rotating equipment runs on interference-fit bearings. Maintenance crews also rely on these tools for pumps, electric motors and gearboxes. Removing bushings, pulleys, gears and couplings this way avoids hammering or heating, so the shaft and the part itself are less exposed to damage.

Selection comes down to three things: the outside diameter of the part being pulled, the grip depth, and the clearance around it. Jaws should sit on a solid surface rather than on cages or seals, and the cylinder stroke has to be long enough to release the part. Line the puller up with the shaft during mounting so side loads stay out of the job. Threads kept lubricated and a hand pump run per the manufacturer's instructions help the tool last.

On equivalents, other brands offer comparable jaw systems with a built-in cylinder, but no universal interchangeability table exists. Capacity, reach and jaw type decide the match. When replacing equipment already in service, comparing the critical dimensions and the required force is the practical route, and we can point you to the right option in the SKF line.
