Industrial Services The service department has continued to expand its business scope in recent years. Other product and service information can refer to the following sections. Detailed information on the products and services can be found in the sample IS1 of rolling bearing installation and maintenance.

  Products for installation and maintenance Our products include mechanical, hydraulic and heated mounting and dismounting tools for rolling bearings. Mechanical method products are mainly used for the installation and disassembly of small bearings. The hydraulic and heating method products are mainly used for the installation and disassembly of large and medium-sized rolling bearings. Our products are very comprehensive and also include measuring devices and accessories (such as transportation tools and gloves). Mechanical installation and removal of bearings For small and medium-sized rolling bearings, mechanical methods of installation and disassembly are frequently used. The Schaeffler Group offers complete sets of mounting and dismounting tools, including a variety of wrenches and mechanical pullers. For applications where higher pull forces are required, we offer hydraulic pullers. We offer the following products: ■ Complete installation tools ■ Socket wrench ■ Hook and pin wrench ■ Mechanical puller ■ Hydraulic puller, Fig. 1 ■ Three-piece pull-out chuck.

  Hydraulically mounting and dismounting bearings using hydraulic nuts makes it easier to install and remove tapered bore bearings. Sources of pressure include oilers, hand pumps, and high pressure pumps. Use the software Mounting Manager to easily select the tools you need. Comprehensive accessories such as pressure gauges, adapters and fittings, high pressure hoses and sleeve adapters are available. ■ Hydraulic nut ■ Oiler ■ Manual pump kit ■ High pressure pump ■ Hydraulic system and device ■ Coupler, accessories. The products used for heating installation and disassembly use induction heaters to provide fast and energy-saving heating of rolling bearings. The Schaeffler Group offers both mobile desktop induction heaters and high-performance stationary heavy-duty induction heating equipment. ■ Electric heating plates ■ Induction heaters ■ Heated aluminum rings, thermal grease ■ Induction heating coils. Product measuring devices and feelers for measurement and inspection can be used to inspect the bearing housing's machining quality and bearing assembly clearance: ■ feeler gauge ■ taper ring gauge ■ outer diameter micrometer ■ envelope circle measuring instrument

  Accessories for mounting and dismounting Accessories are used to assist in the storage, transport and installation of rolling bearings: ■ Transport and installation tools ■ Gloves ■ Mounting paste ■ Anti-rust oil. Condition monitoring Equipment condition monitoring helps to achieve high utilization of machines and equipment and long service life. FAG products can carry out planned maintenance work to save costs. Its products include shaft and pulley alignment equipment. Temperature measuring devices and industrial stethoscopes make it possible to monitor the operating status of the equipment. The measuring system is an important product that monitors vibration, torque and lubrication. Monitoring of operating conditions These devices can be used to manually check the temperature and speed of rolling bearing configurations: ■ Temperature measuring devices ■ Digital handheld tachometers. Vibration diagnosis vibration diagnosis equipment: ■ Detector III, Fig. 2 ■ SmartCheck ■ DTECT X1 s ■ WiPro s ■ ProCheck.

  Installation Services The service experts of the Schaeffler Group Industrial Division provide rolling bearing installation services to all industrial sectors, Figure 3. We have extensive experience in bearing installations such as railways, mining, steel, aluminum, wind power, pulp and paper. Condition monitoring The trouble-free operation of complex machines and devices can only be achieved through maintenance methods based on condition monitoring. The main method used by the Schaeffler Group for state-based maintenance is vibration analysis, Figure 4. These methods can detect the initial damage of the machine at an early stage. The most important is that vibration diagnosis also helps to prevent unplanned downtime and costly secondary damage, thereby increasing productivity and equipment availability. Fig. 3 Installation of large rolling bearings 00017E25 Fig. 4 Vibration diagnosis is also one of the service items Rolling bearing repair During the maintenance of machinery and equipment, many rolling bearings are no longer maintained. Instead, new bearings are used as preventive measures. In some cases, this over-consideration of safety hazards results in wasted costs. The actual situation is: The repaired rolling bearing has the same performance as the new bearing.

  The repair business of rolling bearing and rolling bearing units is one of the core competencies of Schaeffler Group Industrial. There are several certified bearing repair service departments worldwide. And we can repair all types of rolling bearings from various manufacturers and brands, not just the Schaeffler Group products. The Schaeffler Group offers service for rolling bearings with an outer diameter of up to 4 250 mm, as shown in Fig. 5. For our customers, we are your professional partner and we have a wide range of business, including all areas of industry, such as general and special machinery manufacturing, steel and aluminum, pulp and paper, wind power, shipbuilding, private or public railways, Mining and so on. Rolling bearing repair business also proved to be feasible on large machine tool bearings.
