Dismounting a bearing
When dismounting bearings, care must be taken not to damage other machine components, such as the shaft or housing, as damage can compromise the machine’s efficiency and lifetime. Individual applications may require mechanical, heat or hydraulic dismounting methods and tools to allow safe, correct and efficient bearing dismounting.

Mechanical dismounting
Choosing the right puller for the job is critical. The puller type, and its maximum withdrawal capacity are crucial for completing any dismounting job safely and easily. Whenever possible, apply the withdrawal force to the ring with the interference fit. SKF offers a complete range of easy-to-use mechanical, hydraulic and hydraulically-assisted bearing pullers for use in many bearing applications.
Dismounting using heat
The inner rings of cylindrical roller bearings generally have a tight interference fit, which requires high forces to dismount. For bearings having a plain inner ring, using heating equipment facilitates easy and quick dismounting while reducing the risk of damage to the ring and shaft. SKF offers a range of heating equipment for dismounting plain cylindrical roller bearing inner rings.
Dismounting bearings using hydraulic techniques
The SKF hydraulic techniques are often the preferred method for dismounting larger bearings as well as other components. These techniques, which employ hydraulic pumps, nuts and oil injectors, allow the application of substantial forces to dismount bearings or other components.

Bearing Failure Analysis
Most bearings outlive the equipment in which they are installed. Only some fail. When a problem occurs, inspection during operation or standstill and immediate trouble-shooting can give hints about what is happening. SKF provides specific training courses on how to recognise bearing failure and what to do with it.
