You wouldn't try to replace a Corvette's wheel using a pair of vice grips. Why would you use a mallet and chisel to remove and install a bearing in an airplane?
The use of makeshift bearing installation tools and methods can result in several expensive unintended consequences. At its worst, the misapplication of force can result in significant damage to both the bearing and the housing. At best, parts are subjected to unnecessary stresses that could potentially shorten their serviceable life requiring more frequent maintenance cycles and increased potential for unexpected failure. Fortunately, these risks are easily avoidable with the use of appropriate staking, swaging, cutting tools and proof load testers. Designed for easily repeatable bearing installation and removal, these tools are available in forms suitable for shop environments or more portable on-site repair applications.
Most commonly used for installation of bearings with V-grooves, swagers come in a variety of forms. Tri-Roller tools evenly push the bearing material over the housing by combining a rotating action and downward pressure to ensure an even swage. An animation is available on our website to illustrate this device in action. Click here to view the Swaging animation. Anvil swagers in combination with an arbor press may be used to swage both sides of a bearing at once. Other custom and common swagers are also available for various applications, including segment stakers for housing over bearing and sleeve bearings.
Equally important as proper installation, is the correct removal of the bearing. Cutting tools are designed to remove a specific bearing with minimum damage to the housing assembly, saving the added expense of reworking the housing.
Just as a lug and torque wrench on a wheel, having the right tool for installing and removing bearings, results in better efficiency and quality with every use. With a selection of in stock or custom built solutions, National Precision Bearing can help select and tailor a product for you.
