Around 16% of all premature bearing failures are caused by poor fitting, usually using brute force, and being unaware of the availability of the correct mounting tools and methods. Individual installations may require mechanical, heat or hydraulic application methods for correct and efficient mounting. Professional fitting, using specialised tools and techniques, is another positive step towards achieving maximum machine uptime. Reliability Direct offers a wide variety of bearing installation and removal tools, hydraulic and manual jaw pullers, bearing heaters, and more.
