SKF Split Pillow Block Housing Designs SNL SNH (Replaced by SNL)
The new SNL pillow block housings enable the full service life potential of the incorporated bearing to be exploited with less need for maintenance. Among other enhancements, the housings have increased stiffness making them even more insensitive to uncontrolled and excessive tightening of the attachment bolts.
SNH pillow blocks of cast iron with either self-aligning double roll ball bearing for normal loads or self-aligning spherical roller bearing for heavy loads. A variety of different sealing arrangements are available.
SSNHD
SAF FSAF SAFS
SSNHD pillow blocks feature the same sealing arrangements as SNH pillow blocks but the base is kept blank so mounting holes in the base can be drilled and machined Standard SAF pillow blocks are made of cast iron with either self-aligning double row ball bearings for normal loads or self-aligning spherical roller bearings for heavy loads. Standard with triple ring seal. Alternative sealing arrangements such as taconite or contact seals are available. SAFS: Same features, cast in steel. for two or four bolt mounting. For added strength SSNHD housings are cast in ductile iron.
SAFD
Interchangeable with SAF and SNCD series blocks made by SKF and their competition. Supplied in ductile iron as standard and stronger than the old designs. These new housings will accommodate the old designs. The new housings will accommodate the standard LER triple ring seals and in addition, a new taconite service seal can be used with the same housing. Increased load capacity can be provided by specifying the 232 series bearing for which the new block has been designed as well as the 222 series. This block utilizes the same components, specifically adapter sleeves and fixing rings, as our popular SNL/ SNH series blocks. 2

General Information and Housing Material

SKFs complete line of ball and roller bearings and pillow block housings are adaptable to every industrial purpose and offers these outstanding performance advantages: Low Friction Characteristics Inherent Self-Alignment Ease of Assembly No Adjustment Infrequent Lubrication Prevents Drip or Leak No Intrusion of Abrasive and Corrosive Matter Economical, Trouble-Free Operation SKF bearing housings are made of grey cast iron, ductile iron and cast steel. The bearing seating of the housings is machined to tolerances such that a loose fit of the bearing outer ring is assured and in most cases the seating width is such that the bearing has axial freedom. Dimensional inaccuracies, slight positioning errors in mounting, and thermal elongation of the shaft can be accommodated in the pillow block housing itself. Axial location of the bearings is achieved by inserting the fixing rings specified in the housing tables. If only one ring
Some Words About SKF Pillow Blocks (Split Housing)

is to be used with a bearing having an adapter sleeve, the fixing ring should be positioned on the same side of the bearing as the locknut. The bearing is then displaced from its centre position in the housing by the distance equal to half the fixing rings and their designation should be stated. Pillow block housings shown in the housing tables are horizontally split and are designated for use with selfaligning ball bearings and spherical roller bearings with either a tapered bore and mounted on an adapter sleeve or with a cylindrical bore. The elongated (slotted) bolt holes in the housing base permit slight adjustments to be made to the position of the pillow block. The housings are fitted with dowel pins, or the mating surfaces may be stepped to ensure correct location of the associated caps and bases, which are NOT interchangeable. To ensure reliable function and long operational life of the bearing in the pillow block, the mating surface of the supporting component should be machined to a surface roughness of Ra=1.6 mm (63 RMS). For the flatness IT7 is recommended. When the demand is lower, IT8 can be used.

SKF Sealing Arrangements

Seals
There are many different types of seal designs for use in SKF Pillow Blocks. The many alternative choices available ensure that a correct or most suitable solution will be found to meet the condition surrounding a particular application. If a contact (rubbing seal is selected, care must be taken with regard to the surface finish of the shaft. It is recommended that the shaft surface roughness does not exceed 125 RMS (ta:3.2 m ISO N8).
V-Ring seals, Type A
Double lip seal, Type G
The G-seal is made of polyurethane, a wear resistant material with excellent resilience. The split design simplifies mounting. This seal can be used with grease lubrication at peripheral speeds up to 8 m/s (1600 ft/min). The maximum permissible misalignment of the shaft is approximately 1 up to shaft diameters of 100 mm (3.15/16) and 0.5 for larger sizes. These seals can be used at temperatures between -40 and +100C (-40 and +212F). Double-lip seals are designated TSN followed by the housing number and suffix G, (ie. TNS 511 G).
The V-Ring, of Nitrile rubber, has a thin sealing lip which functions in an axial direction. The ring also acts as a flinger as it rotates with the shaft. This type of seal can be used for both grease and oil lubrication and is extremely effective under most operating conditions including high speeds and shafts with rough sealing surfaces. V rings are normally suitable for peripheral speeds up to 7m/sec (1400 ft/min) and if axially clamped tolerate speeds up to 12m/sec (2400 ft/min). The maximum permissible misalignment of the shaft is approximately 1.5. For a shaft diameter of 50mm, and approximately 1 for shaft diameter of 150mm. For SNL pillow block housings, the V-rings seal against sheet metal washers which are coated with a rust inhibitor. Each washer has a rubber lip, bonded around its periphery which locates and seals in the housing groove. These seals can be used at temperatures between -40C and +100C (-40F and +212F). V-ring seals are designated TSN followed by the housing number and suffix A, for example TSN 511A.
Pillow Block Seal Arrangements Felt Seals, Type C
Labyrinth Seal (Taconite Service Seal) Type TER5-C and TER5-CV

Optional Seal for SAF, SAFD, FSAF, FSAFD
The felt seal is a simple and adequate seal which can be used with grease lubrication at peripheral speeds up to 4m/s (800 ft/min). Pillow block housings of series SNL 5 and SNL 6 are available with split felt seals consisting of oiled felt incorporated in halves of a light alloy ring, the seal halves are fitted into the housing grooves, the O-section cords provide an effective seal between the housing hub bore and the outside diameter of the seal inserts. Misalignment exceeding 0.5 would impair efficiency. Felt seals are designated TSN followed by the housing number and suffix C, for example TSN 511 C.
Taconite Service Seal Type TER, and TER-V

These Taconite seals were developed as an alternative for the SAFD, SAF, SAFS and SDAF blocks without modifications having to be made. The TER and TER V with felt strip or garter spring seal are interchangeable with the TER-C and TER-CV..
Triple Ring Seals Types LOR, LORC, TS, S and A9508/LER

A labyrinth created between the rotating seal ring and its matching hub grooves results in an efficient seal, particularly if the labyrinth is filled with grease. The sliding fit of the rotating seal ring on the shaft ensures that it will automatically find its own proper location relative to the stationary hub grooves. For larger shaft diameters an O-sectioned cord is inserted between the seal ring and the shaft to ensure ring rotation and avoid possible lubricant leakage. The maximum permissible misalignment between shaft and housing must be restricted to 0.25.
Labyrinth Seals Type D and E

Extreme service seals of D and E types were initially developed for the mining industry, where fine abrasive dusts were prevalent (e.g. taconite), but have since found usage in the pulp, paper, forest and other industries where water and water laden debris prevail. They are most commonly used in the SDCD and SNL series of housing which have additional grease fitting allowing the seals to be periodically purged. Their design offers the distinct advantage that housing caps may be removed for maintenance inspection of bearings with the seals remaining undisturbed.
NOTE: Pillow Blocks SNL and SSNHD must be modified to

suffix MC 106 when using TSNC-D, TSNC-E and MC14 seals. SAFD and FSAFD must be modified to MC 14 when using TSNC-D and TSNC-E. These seals available on special order only.

Adapter Sleeve Mounting Self-Aligning Ball Bearing

Position adapter sleeve (less locknut and lockwasher) on the shaft in the correct position for the proposed bearing mounted center line. A light smear of clean spindle oil applied to the sleeve outside diameter, results in easier mounting and removal of bearing. Mount bearing on adapter with the large bore side of the inner ring to match the taper on the outside diameter of the adapter. With bearing hand tight on the adapter, relocate if necessary, the bearing and the adapter to the proper axial location on the shaft. Do not apply lockwasher. Drive up procedure could damage it. To avoid damage to the bearing it is most important during this subsequent operation that the shaft is blocked up so the bearing is not loaded. Apply the locknut with the chamfered face toward the bearing after lubricating the face of the locknut next to the bearing. Hand tighten the nut with the spanner wrench until the adapter sleeve can neither be moved axially, nor rotated on the shaft. Then with the hammer hit the hook wrench until the locknut has been turned 90 or 1/4 turn on the adapter sleeve (varies with size). Caution: A loose adapter sleeve can lead to the inner ring turning on the adapter sleeve and/or the adapter sleeve turning on the shaft. To insure that the nut is not excessively tight, make certain the outer ring of the bearing rotates freely. When mounting a normal fit bearing, swiveling the outer ring will result in a slight drag. If the bearing is a C3 fit, the outer ring will swivel freely. Remove locknut and mount lockwasher with inner prong located in the slot provided in the adapter and the tabs on washer O.D. leaning away from the bearing. Re-apply locknut and tighten until firmly seated against lockwasher. Find lockwasher tab nearest one of the slots in the locknut. If slot is past tab, do not loosen nut, but tighten until a tab can be bent into a slot.
Cylindrical Bore Mounting Self-aligning Ball or Spherical Roller Bearings Small bearings up to bore size 50mm (2in.) Apply a coat of light oil to the shaft and bearing bore. Fit a clean tube with one end squared and bore slightly larger than the bearing bore, against the bearing inner ring. With the bearing square on the shaft, apply pressure using a press. The bearing must be seated firmly against the shaft shoulder. Mount lockwasher with inner prong located in the key slot provided in the shaft and tabs on washer O.D. leaning away from the bearing. Apply locknut with face lubricated, tighten with appropriate wrench until all components are locked up solid to shaft shoulder. It may be necessary to further tighten the nut to engage a washer tab with a slot in the nut. A very small movement of the nut will usually align a tab with a slot. Large Bearings-Bore Size 50mm (2in) and larger These bearings are not easily pressed on a shaft, and should therefore be heated using an induction heater, hot plate or temperature controlled oven. On very large bearings it may be necessary to use an oil bath using a 10%-15% mixture of soluble oil in water to approximately 100C maximum. The bearing must be on supports to isolate it from direct contact with bottom of the tank, thereby preventing the possibility of localized overheating which could result in bearing damage. Never use an open flame to heat the bearing. Mount the bearing on the shaft firmly against the shoulder, immediately applying the locknut and tighten to prevent the bearing shrinking away from its proper position against the shoulder. When the bearing has cooled, remove the locknut and mount the lockwasher with inner prong located in the key slot provided in the shaft and the prongs on the O/D facing away from the bearing. Apply the locknut with the face lubricated and tighten with appropriate wrench until all components are locked up solid to shaft shoulder. It may be necessary to further tighten the nut to engage a washer tab with a slot in the nut, enabling the tab to be bent down into the slot in the nut. A very small movement of the nut will usually align these.

Recommended Method for Mounting Bearings
Special Note on Location of Bearings in Pillow Blocks

If the bearing is to be held (located), fixing rings are inserted between the side faces of the outer ring and the housing shoulders. If an adapter sleeve is used to secure the bearing to the shaft and only one fixing ring is required, it should be placed on the same side of the bearing as the locknut. The bearing is then displaced from its central position in the housing by a distance equal to half the fixing ring width. 1 ring - on the same side as the sleeve nut 2 rings - one on each side of the bearing 3 rings - two on the same side as the sleeve nut 4 rings - two on each side of the bearing Example: FRB 16.5/150
Place the bearing on the sleeve and screw on the nut with the nut chamfer toward the bearing. Tighten the nut just enough to ensure that the bearing and shaft make contact with the sleeve, but do not tighten to drive the bearing further up the sleeve.
Turn the nut with a hook spanner according to the illustration.
Fixing ring with width of 16.5mm
Fixing ring for housing bore of 150mm
Note: As opposed to a held bearing - a free bearing is mounted without fixing rings. The bearing positioned in the centre of the bearing seat in the pillow block housing will ensure proper lubrication as well as shaft expansion and contraction.
To achieve the right fit, turn the nut through the angle . Then reposition the spanner 180 and tighten a few more degrees by rapping on the spanner with a hammer. SKF has a set of lock nut spanners which are clearly marked with the correct tightening gauge.
For a self-aligning bearing with normal clearance, the driveup is correct when the outer ring easily rotates but resists swiveling. If the nut is placed inboard of the bearing, the locking washer must be mounted together with the nut. Lubricate the surfaces that slide against each other during tightening.

Note that the cap must not be interchanged with that of another housing. Also if shimming is required, only shims giving full mounting support must be used. 10. The mounting bolts are tightened to the support. 11. Fill seal labyrinth on insert and flinger with grease. 12. To adjust labyrinth seal flingers, move the flingers axially toward housing till they contact insert. Back flinger off 1/16 (1.6 mm) on HELD assembly. For FREE assembly back off the amount of the expected shaft expansion plus 1/32 (0.8 mm). Tighten the setscrews.

Seal Assembly and Mounting Procedure Labyrinth Seals Type TER-CV

1. The housing base is placed in position and the mounting bolts loosely fitted. 2. Slide one labyrinth seal, consisting of labyrinth flinger and a V-ring. Note: Make sure seal lip of V-ring is away from flinger. Point prongs of flinger and V-ring towards bearing location. Slide labyrinth insert with O-ring installed on its O.D., in this order, on the shaft. 3. The bearing is mounted on the shaft (directly or on an adapter) and filled with grease. 4. The second labyrinth seal is placed on the shaft following instruction as described above under 2, except reverse sequence. 5. The shaft, complete with bearing assembly and labyrinth seal assemblies, is placed in the lower half of the housing. 6. For held unit, fixing rings are placed in position. For free unit, bearing must be located in center of bearing seat of housing for proper lubrication. 7. The housing base is checked for alignment, ensuring that it is within acceptable limits, and the mounting bolts are then slightly tightened. 8. The housing must be filled 1/3 full with grease, by packing the free space on both sides of the bearing. See page 40. (Do not wash out the protective coating). 9. The housing cap is fitted, being careful not to damage the O-rings on the O.D. of the seal inserts, and the cap bolts tightened to the recommended torque, see Table on Pages 26 through 37. Note that the cap must not be interchanged with that of another housing. 10. The mounting bolts are tightened to the support. 11. Fill seal labyrinth on insert and flinger with grease. 12. To adjust labyrinth seal flingers, move the flingers axially toward housing till they contact insert. Back flinger off 1/16" (1.6 mm) on HELD assembly. For "FREE" assembly back off the amount of the expected shaft expansion plus 1/32 (0.8 mm). Tighten the set screws.

Seal Assembly and Mounting Procedure Labyrinth Seal Type S and TS 1. The housing base is placed in position and the Mounting bolts loosely fitted. 2. One labyrinth seal is placed on the shaft. 3. The bearing is mounted on the shaft (directly or on an adapter sleeve) and filled with grease. 4. The second labyrinth seal is placed on the shaft. 5. The shaft, complete with bearing assembly and labyrinth seals, is placed in the lower half of the housing. 6. For held unit, fixing rings are placed in position. For free unit, bearing must be located in center of bearing seat of housing for proper lubrication. 7. The housing base is checked for alignment, ensuring that it is within acceptable limits, and the mounting bolts are then slightly tightened. 8. At the first charge of grease, the bearing MUST be filled with grease (do not wash out the protective coating) and the housing will be filled one-third full. * For greasing quantities, refer to Page 40. 9. The housing cap is filled and the cap bolts tightened to the recommended torque, see Table on Pages 26 through 37. Note that the cap must not be interchanged with that of another housing. 10. The mounting bolts are tightened to the support. 11. Finally the silicon O-section cords are placed in the grooves of the labyrinth seals. The simplest way to mount the cords is to use a screwdriver blade while rotating the shaft by hand. NOTE: Type S is used with SNH and SSNHD. Type TS is used with SD, SDCD, SDCT and SDHD. *The initial charge can be increased to half-full for slow to moderate speeds. For slower applications less than 10 rpm consult SKF Engineering Dept.

To adjust labyrinth seal flingers, move the flingers axially toward housing until they contact insert. Back flinger off 1/16 (1.6 mm) on HELD assembly. For "FREE" assembly back off the amount of the expected shaft expansion plus 1/32 (0.8mm). Tighten the setscrews which secure the flingers on the shaft. To complete the assembly in the case of SDCD housings with these labyrinth seal assemblies, take one half of the 4 mm rubber cord supplied and insert it in the counter bore of each flinger bore adjacent to the outer face. 12. At the initial startup, with shaft rotating, lubricate seals through grease fitting until a bead of grease appears around the periphery of the flingers. NOTE: Use same grease as for lubrication of bearing.

LUBRICATION General It is necessary to lubricate rolling bearings to prevent metallic contact between rolling elements, raceways and cage. The most favourable running (operating) conditions for a rolling bearing is obtained when the minimum quantity of lubricant necessary to ensure reliable operation is used. However, the quantity used also depends on additional functions required of the lubricant, i.e. sealing and cooling. Lubricating properties deteriorate as a result of aging and mechanical churning. When using labyrinth and taconite seals in severely contaminated environments, it is suggested to shorten the lubrication interval. Also certain operating conditions i.e. high speeds, high temperatures or heavy loads require more frequent lubrication. The choice of lubricants depends primarily on the temperature range, operating speed and magnitude of the load. Either oil or grease of proper quality can be considered for lubricating bearings. At low and medium speeds, grease usually permits a simpler method of obtaining reliable and durable lubrication. It requires a simpler sealing system and has an additional advantage of affording excellent protection to bearings against rust and intrusion of contaminates. With high speeds, it becomes necessary to add fresh grease and remove old grease more frequently to obtain safe operation. At some limiting speed, grease must be replaced so often that it becomes impractical. Then oil should be used. When oil is used, it is advisable to employ an oil reservoir or an adequate supply of oil and effective housing seals so that the oil does not leak out. The level of oil should be about the center of the lowest ball or roller when the bearing is stationary. Too high an oil level or too large a quantity of grease, usually results in a high operating temperature due to churning of the lubricant.
Grease Lubrication SKF pillow block housings are primarily intended for grease lubrication. In the majority of cases it is sufficient to charge the housings with grease on mounting and to replace this grease periodically, either at specified time interval or when performing inspections. Pillow block housings caps can be equipped with grease fittings. For spherical roller bearings with W33 or E suffix (groove in outer ring and three lubricating holes spaced at 120) the center lubricating fitting must be used. For bearing without the E or W33 feature, either of the two side lubrication fitting are used to supply grease. Generally the side opposite the lock nut. Lubrication through center fitting for W33
Non W33
If grease is used as a lubricant, at installation of bearing the lubricant must be worked in between the rolling elements. The housing should be packed 1/3 full. As a precaution, never mix greases with unlike base oils or incompatible thickeners. It should also be noted that bearings are generally lubricated after mounting. This ensures an accurate clearance measurement, avoids the mess in trying to handle a greasy bearing, and decreases the possibility of additional contamination being introduced into the bearing. Only where, after mounting, an even distribution of grease in the bearing is not possible should one consider greasing prior to mounting.
38
Relubrication and Relubrication Intervals Relubrication Intervals The period during which a grease lubricated bearing will function satisfactorily without relubrication is dependent on the bearing type, size, operating conditions (load, speed, temperature, environment) and the grease used. The relubrication intervals (hours of operation) obtained from Diagram A are valid for bearings in stationary machines where loading conditions are normal. The diagram is based on the use of an age resistant, quality grease and is valid for bearing temperatures of +70C. At temperatures over 70C, the lubricating intervals should be halved for each 15C rise, but the maximum permissible operating temperature for the grease should obviously not to be exceeded . Conversely, if operating temperatures are lower than 70C, the intervals can be lengthened to about twice the 70C values for operating temperatures of 50C and below. It should be noted however that, relubrication intervals may vary significantly even where apparently similar greases are used. Contaminated grease results in failures such as premature fatigue, polishing wear, etc. Where there is a risk of the grease becoming contaminated, the relubrication intervals should be reduced. This reduction also applies to applications where the grease is required to seal against moisture ( e.g. bearings in paper making machines, where water runs over the bearing housings, relubrication should be done once a week ). The amount of grease The amount of grease needed for relubrication can be estimated using the following formula: G = 0,005 D B where G = grease quantity, g (for ozs, x 0.0353) D = bearing outside diameter, mm B = total bearing width, mm If the relubrication interval is not specified we suggest at regular plant maintenance shutdown to remove and replace the lubricant. The cap of split housings and the cover of one-piece housing can usually be taken off to expose the bearing. After removing the used grease, fresh grease should be packed between the rolling elements. If frequent relubrication is required a grease nipple should be fitted to the housing. A grease gun can then be used to ensure that fresh grease actually reaches the bearing and replaces the old grease. After a number of such relubrications, the housing should be opened and the used grease removed before fresh grease is added.
39
Initial grease charges for split pillow blocks The approximate intial grease charge (mass) for split pillow blocks is given in these tables. The recommended intial grease charge is one-third to one-half the volume of the free space in the pillow block, and the empty space between rolling elements and cage filled with grease (buttered). This recommendation is for moderate speeds and normal or light bearing loads (C/P>8.3).

SKF Shaft Alignment Tool TMEA 1

Simplified alignment of rotating machinery
Approximately 50% of breakdowns in rotating machinery are caused by misalignment of the shafts. Poor machine alignment generates additional loads and vibration, causing premature damage to bearings, seals and couplings. It also significantly increases the energy consumption. Using only four buttons and the well proven laser alignment techniques, the SKF Shaft Alignment Tool TMEA 1, makes accurate machine alignment operation simpler and quicker than with traditional methods and equipment. The TMEA 1 is supplied in a sturdy portable carrying case equipped with all the necessary accessories.
High accuracy but simple to operate

The TMEA 1 alignment tool uses two measuring units, both provided with a laser diode and a positioning detector. After attaching the measuring units to the shafts the on-screen instructions guide you simply through the alignment prcedure. The machine can then be correctly positioned according to the calculated live values provided on the display. SKF precut machinery shims are a timesaving accessory to any rotating machine alignment job.
Good alignment means:

Reduced maintenance costs Longer bearing, seal and coupling life Less vibration and noise Less energy consumption Fewer unplanned stops
User-friendly tool:
Only four buttons to operate Spirit levels integrated in the unit On-screen instructions Displays live results Easy attachment of measuring units Basic set of shims included Weight only 4,5 kg Sturdy portable carrying case

With only two components, BeltAlign is fast and easy to attach, and requires no training to operate. SKF BeltAlign attaches simply and securely to the pulley; two V-guides grip the groove while bar magnets hold the unit firmly in place.
Accurate alignment means:

Less wear on belt and pulley Less friction and therefore lower energy consumption Less vibration and noise Increased safety-prevents belt turnover in the pulley Increased up time Lower costs
Advantages:
User-friendly tool Fast and easy to attach, easy to use Aligns grooves of the pulley rather than its face, allowing for alignment of pulleys of unequal width or with dissimilar faces even fits applications where pulley face cannot be used as a reference No trial and error. The laser position indicates the nature of misalignment allowing easy, accurate adjustment Facilitates simultaneous adjustment of tension and alignment V-guides allow for alignment of a wide range of V-belt pulleys The unique dual laser eliminates need for mirrors or reflectors, minimising diffusion of the beam over longer distances. Long (6 m) operating distance Only two components Lightweight

TIH 015 Heater

Quality heater from SKF that does what heaters should do. And at a very competitive price!
SKF Bearing heaters are powerful, safe and have excellent long-term reliability. SKF induction heater TIH 015 is made for heating bearings and other annular metal components up to approximately 40 lbs (20 kg), reaching a maximum temperature of approximately 600F (300C), depending on weight, geometry and material of the workpiece.
Induction heating
An induction heater is similar to a transformer, using the principle of a primary coil with a large number of windings and a secondary coil with a few windings on a mutual iron core. When heated by an SKF induction heater, the bearing becomes the short circuited, single turn secondary coil through which a high current flows at a low voltage, generating heat. The heater itself, as well as the yoke, remain at ambient temperature.
The SKF TIH 015 heater

The induction heater has a glass-fiber, reinforced housing in which a coil on a U-shaped iron core is mounted together with the START/STOP button. The heater is supplied with two top yokes suitable for bore diameters from 0.8 inch (20 mm) and 1.6 inch (40 mm). Every TIH 015 heater is provided with a 2 meter cable and a standard plug with a round grounding pin. Please note that the SKF TIH 015 is not equipped with automatic demagnetization, which instead must be done manually.
Safety feature
The TIH 015 is equipped with automatic overheating protection. With every heater, a free pair of heat resistant gloves is included. This quality SKF heater comes with a 3 year warranty for long term reliability.

SKF New Puller Series: EasyPull TMMA

Safe and simple dismounting of bearings
Equipped with spring operated arms and safety pin, SKFs new patent-pending EasyPull is one of the most user-friendly and safe tools on the market today. Ergonomically designed, the spring-operated arms enable the user to position the puller behind the component with just one movement of the hand. Costs resulting from exchange of expensive spare parts are avoided with the EasyPulls unique safety pin which breaks instead of the pull itself, should excessive force be used. Additionally, hazardous slipping of the puller claws is avoided due to the special locking mechanism which ensures a tighter grip of the components as the pulling force increases.
EasyPull dismounts the most difficult bearings

Dismounting a bearing can be a demanding task for both user and puller. The new EasyPull, with its uniquely designed opening mechanism and safety pin, makes dismounting easy. Simply open the arms of the EasyPull by pressing the red rings together, place the EasyPull behind the component with one movement of your hand and pull either manually or with one of SKFs hydraulic tools. Its as easy as that.
User-friendly:
Extremely user-friendly due to spring operated and self-locking arms, gripping behind the component with just one movement of the hand Ergonomic red-rings Available in three sizes with a maximum withdrawal force of 3, 5 or 8 tonnes (30, 50 or 80kN), enabling easy selection Hydraulic force generators available for the 8 tonne (80kN) EasyPull Light-weight
Safe:
Safety pin minimises any injury to the user and prevents damage to puller arms, rings and spindle Self-locking: Arms prevent risk of slipping of puller under load
Cost-saving:
No need to buy expensive spare-parts; a unique safety pin breaks should excessive force be used Service life of puller extended by safety pin Self-centering avoids damage to shaft Efficient use of time due to quick dismounting
