Bearing mounting and removal
Proper bearing mounting and dismounting is an important part of every professional machine service and maintenance operation. An incorrectly selected tool or improper procedure can lead to damage to the bearing, shaft or bearing housing and ultimately shorten the service life of the entire equipment. In the bearing mounting and dismounting category, you will find professional tools designed for precise, safe and efficient bearing work.
Professional bearing mounting tools
When mounting bearings, it is essential to apply the mounting force to the correct bearing ring. That is why specialized mounting kits are equipped with various impact rings and mounting sleeves, allowing the tool to be adapted to the specific bearing size and mounting arrangement.
Our range includes, for example, SNR and SKF mounting kits, suitable for mounting bearings onto shafts, into bearing housings and into blind holes. The professional design of these tools makes work in service, maintenance and industrial environments easier while helping to minimize the risk of bearing damage during mounting.
Why choose professional bearing tools?
- more precise and safer bearing mounting,
- reduced risk of damage to bearings and surrounding components,
- an ideal solution for service technicians and maintenance professionals,
- more efficient work during regular machine maintenance,
- quality tools from renowned manufacturers,
- solutions for various bearing types and sizes.
Risks of improper bearing mounting
Improper mounting can significantly reduce bearing service life and lead to premature failure. The most common risks include damage to raceways and rolling elements, dents and deformation, increased vibration and noise, overheating, lubricant leakage, or damage to the shaft and bearing housing. An improper mounting procedure can ultimately lead to machine downtime and costly repairs.
Using the correct mounting tools and following the proper mounting procedure therefore helps extend bearing service life, improve equipment reliability and reduce maintenance costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I properly install a bearing?
The mounting force should be applied through the bearing rings without direct metal-to-metal impacts. According to the manufacturer, the impact rings in the SNR IFT SET 33 support both the inner and outer rings simultaneously and protect the raceways. For mounting with heating, use the SKF TWIM 15/230V induction heater.
What does the bearing installation kit contain?
The SNR TOOL IFT SET 33 includes 33 drive rings, 3 aluminum mounting sleeves, and a 0.7 kg shock-resistant hammer. It covers approximately 400 bearing sizes with an inner diameter of 10–50 mm. The SKF TMFT 36 set includes 36 drive rings.
How do you remove a bearing from a blind hole?
With an internal puller. The SKF TMMD 100 is designed for single-row ball bearings in blind holes or on shafts. To remove a bearing mounted in a housing on the outer ring, use the SKF TMIP 7-28 set.
Which bearing puller should you choose?
Based on the bearing’s location and size: the double-ended SKF TMMR 60F for both external and internal removal, the TMMD 100 for blind holes, and the hydraulic TMMA 75H for parts with an outer diameter up to 200 mm.
