The SKF TMHK hydraulic kit is a specialized tool for installing and removing OK couplings, the tapered components used to secure bearings, pulleys, and gears to shafts. It applies controlled hydraulic pressure, which eases the task and lowers the physical effort required. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this SKF tool so you can handle OK coupling assembly and disassembly efficiently in your plant.

In the SKF lineup, TMHK designates this hydraulic kit. The number that follows, such as TMHK 38, corresponds to the kit's size or application range. Generally, a higher number means the kit can handle larger coupling diameters. To pick the correct kit, have the full part number of the OK coupling you plan to mount or dismount ready and send it to us; we will confirm the matching TMHK kit.

These tools are common in industries that rely on OK couplings: pulp and paper, cement, steel, mining, flour milling, and oilseed processing, among others. Maintenance workshops that receive equipment with tapered couplings also use them to disassemble parts without damaging the shaft or component. Plant shutdowns often depend on them, where time and part integrity are critical.

When selecting a kit, confirm that its application range matches the OK coupling size you will work on. Before mounting, ensure the tapered surfaces are clean and free of burrs; a proper oil film helps hydraulic pressure distribute force evenly. Adhere to the manufacturer's instructions for maximum pressure and tightening sequence. For couplings with multiple screws, tighten in a cross pattern and in stages to keep the load uniform.

SKF TMHK hydraulic kits are compatible with OK couplings from the same brand, which is the most widely used standard. If you encounter couplings from other sources, contact us with the part number and dimensions; interchangeability typically depends on the cone dimensions and fastening system, not the kit brand. Avoid improvised adaptations: a tool that does not fit properly can damage the coupling or shaft. If unsure, send us the data and we will advise you.

If you already have the part number for the kit or the OK coupling, message us on WhatsApp and we will send a quote. At MR Industrial Accessories, we work with SKF tools and can guide you to purchase exactly what you need. Feel free to ask about other mounting and maintenance tools as well.
