Air-driven hydraulic pumps and oil injectors

August 2012 Pneumatics & Hydraulics

SKF’s new range of air-driven hydraulic pumps and oil injectors (THAP series) can mount and dismount a variety of shrink fit mechanical components, including couplings, bearings, flywheels, marine propellers and railway wheels. The new range is lightweight and combines portability with power compared to similar air driven tools and hand operated pumps and oil injectors. This results in considerable savings in time and effort. The solution weighs just 13,5 kg.

SKF’s oil injection method is a simple, efficient and safe way of mounting and dismounting annular components such as bearings, marine couplings and propellers, gears and railway wheels. To suit these varied applications, the new range consists of four tools with hydraulic output pressures varying from 30 MPa to 400 MPa. Thick hydraulic fluids up to 900 mm²/s can be handled efficiently by the range.

To suit the varied fields of use a comprehensive range of accessories, which include high pressure pipes, connectors, adaptors and pressure gauges, complement the new air-driven hydraulic pumps and oil injectors.
