For maintenance teams that install bearings without a press or heater, the SKF TMFT mounting kit offers a controlled way to apply cold impact. The set pairs an impact sleeve with impact rings, so the hammer blow reaches the bearing ring instead of the rolling elements or raceways. It fits workshops, plant maintenance and repair operations where bearings are changed regularly.

Reading the code is straightforward. The base series is TMFT, and the suffix tells you which shaft or bore range the ring covers. Take TMFT 36 A10-26: the sleeve is 36 mm, and the ring handles diameters from 10 to 26 mm. Other combinations follow the same logic, such as TMFT 36 A12-32 or TMFT 36 A15-35. The figures after the letter A describe the ring range, not a bearing number, so match the kit to the ring diameter you plan to install.

Typical applications include electric motors, pumps, gearboxes, fans and process machinery. Maintenance shops, oilseed, cement, steel and food and beverage plants use them where bearings are replaced often and must come out undamaged. Pump repair services and gearbox assembly benches also rely on them. The key benefit is uniform impact on the ring being fitted, with no force passed to the balls or rollers.

To pick the right kit, measure the inner or outer ring diameter you will mount and check it falls inside the ring range. The sleeve must match the shaft or housing diameter so the assembly centers correctly. During mounting, tap gently and repeatedly with a ball-peen hammer or nylon mallet on the sleeve, never on the bearing itself. With a polymer cage or seals, avoid sudden blows. Heating is not needed, but if the fit is very tight, consider other methods.

TMFT kits work with bearings from different brands as long as the ring diameter fits the range. Codes from other tool makers do not cross directly, so compare ring and sleeve dimensions instead. If you already own a kit from another brand, send us the dimensions and we can check whether a replacement fits. The TMFT designation belongs to SKF and does not carry over to other systems.

When cold impact mounting is the method, this kit makes the job simpler and lowers the risk of raceway damage. MR supplies the SKF TMFT line in various sleeve and ring combinations. Send the full kit code, for example TMFT 36 A10-30, by WhatsApp or email and we will quote promptly. We can also help you choose if you are between two size ranges.
