Dominate Bearing Removal with Clamshell Bearing Pullers: Your Guide to Effortless Success

Clamshell bearing pullers are the ultimate solution for hassle-free bearing removal. As an industry leader, we understand the challenges technicians face, and our carefully engineered pullers empower you to overcome them with ease.

Understanding Clamshell Bearing Pullers

Clamshell bearing pullers, also known as two-jaw pullers, feature a unique design that allows them to grip bearings from both sides. This design ensures maximum grip and provides even force distribution, minimizing damage to the bearing and surrounding components.

Feature	Benefit
Double-jaw design	Secure grip from both sides, reducing bearing damage
Adjustable jaws	Versatile fit for various bearing sizes
High-strength construction	Durability for demanding applications

Step-by-Step Guide to Using Clamshell Bearing Pullers

Follow these simple steps to remove bearings efficiently:

Position the Puller: Place the puller over the bearing, ensuring the jaws are aligned with the bearing race.

Tighten the Jaws: Gradually tighten the puller's adjustment screw to increase the grip on the bearing.

Apply Force: Apply force to the puller's hydraulic pump or slide hammer, pulling the bearing away from its seating.

Remove the Bearing: Once the bearing is loose, carefully remove it from the puller.

Step	Key Point
Positioning	Align jaws precisely to avoid damage
Tightening	Adjust cautiously to achieve optimal grip
Force Application	Use hydraulic pump or slide hammer for controlled force
Removal	Handle bearing carefully to prevent further damage

Effective Strategies, Tips, and Tricks

Choose the Right Puller: Select a puller with jaws that are the appropriate size for the bearing you're removing.

Inspect the Jaw Faces: Ensure the jaw faces are smooth and free of any damage that could scratch the bearing.

Use a Puller Slide Hammer: A slide hammer provides more force than a hydraulic pump, making it suitable for removing stubborn bearings.

Be Patient: Removing bearings can take time and effort. Be patient and apply force gradually to avoid damaging the bearing or puller.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Overtightening the Jaws: Excessive tightening can damage the bearing or puller.

Misaligning the Jaws: Improper alignment can cause the puller to slip and damage the bearing.

Applying Excessive Force: Using too much force can break the puller or damage the bearing.

Ignoring Safety Precautions: Always wear safety glasses and gloves when using clamshell bearing pullers.
