Bearing separators

A bearing separator is necessary when parts are placed very close teach other in a tight area. It fixes a component with twsemi-circle clamps. When a forcing screw is being turned, the spare is pressed out without being damaged.

Types

These tools differ in the diameter of the grip. For example, in the manufacturers’ catalogues, there are items made for parts with the size of 30–50, 50–75 or 100–150 mm.

Depending on the design of a tool, the forcing screw can be driven in twways:

• with open-ended or ring spanner, if the screw has a hexagonal head;
• manually, if it is fitted with a T-handle.

These products are sold both separately and in kits. As a rule, a kit includes twitems that differ in size, as well as extension rods. They allow working with deep-set parts.
