Our Aerospace Bearing Tooling Services
Proper alignment is crucial for effective bearing retention. Our installation tools ensure even and concentric placement of bearings within their housings. This precision is essential for optimal performance and longevity of the bearing assembly.
We offer two methods for bearing retention:
- Tri-roller swaging tools: Available in drill press or portable styles, these tools gradually form the V groove of the bearing into the housing chamfer, providing reliable and repeatable retention. This method is considered the most effective and consistent for bearing retention.
- Staking: Using "anvil" tools in a hydraulic press, this method is suitable for large production runs but may have repeatability issues. While efficient for high-volume operations, it requires careful monitoring to maintain consistency.
Our drill press and portable cutting tools precisely cut the bearing's V groove, allowing for removal without damaging the housing. This careful approach ensures that the housing can be reused, saving time and resources in maintenance operations.
We provide tools for various bearing tests:
- Torque testing: Measures the torque required to rotate the inner ball of the bearing. This can be either a breakaway torque or swivel torque test, providing crucial data on bearing performance.
- Proof loading: Measures the axial movement of the bearing under a known load. Our proof load tools are supplied with electronics, a DTI, load cell, and digital display, allowing for precise measurements of bearing displacement under specific loads.
- Housing over bearing tools: For bearings without V grooves, we offer a range of tools including ball swaging tools, segment staking tools, and reverse tri-roller tools. These specialized tools ensure proper retention for non-standard bearing configurations.
- Bearing sleeve swaging tools: U roller or flat roller tools for swaging non-grooved bearings within sleeves. These tools effectively form the sleeve over both the housing and bearing, ensuring proper retention.
