FAG mounting tool sets allow cost-effective and safe mounting of rolling bearings with bore diameters of 10 to 50 mm or outside diameters of 16 to 110 mm. They can also be used to easily mount sleeves, intermediate rings, seals and similar parts. Tightly fitted inner rings can be driven onto the shaft or outer ring into the housing bore by hitting the mounting sleeve with the hammer. This prevents the mounting forces being transmitted through the rolling elements and raceways, which can lead to damage. The carefully matched FAG precision parts ensure that the forces are uniformly transmitted to the side faces of the bearing rings.
Great care is also required during dismounting. The extraction tool must always be applied to the ring to be removed. Mechanical FAG extractors can be used to dismount small rolling earings up to approx. 100 mm bore diameter that are located with a tight fit on a shaft or in a housing. The extraction force is normally applied by means of a threaded spindle. A hydraulic spindle facilitates work with hydraulic FAG extractors for larger rolling bearings. Extraction forces of up to 400 kN (40 tonnes) can be generated in this case.
