SKF tools for industrial maintenance: pullers, heaters, aligners and calibrated shims

SKF pullers are tools designed to dismount bearings and other parts without damaging the shaft or the housing. In Argentine industry, where machine downtime is costly, having a reliable puller is key to reducing intervention times.

Within the line, the TMMA models are three-jaw mechanical pullers, ideal for work in tight spaces. Their self-centering design and reversible jaws allow extracting bearings of different sizes safely. The TMHP are high-capacity hydraulic pullers, designed for large or very tight parts.

MR distributes SKF pullers for different applications. If you need to dismount a bearing and don't know which model suits you, send us the code or a photo of the part and we'll quote the right tool.

SKF induction heaters heat the bearing uniformly and in a controlled way, expanding it just enough to mount it on the shaft without effort. This avoids the use of hammers or presses, which can damage the raceways and reduce bearing service life.

These devices work with medium-frequency current and allow programming the desired temperature. Some models include magnetic probes and automatic demagnetization functions, making them suitable for environments with electromagnetic sensitivity.

At MR we work with SKF heaters for different bearing diameters. If you mount bearings frequently, an induction heater is an investment that pays for itself in fewer damages and less workshop time.

Misalignment is one of the main causes of premature failure in bearings and couplings. SKF laser aligners of the TKSA series allow correcting shaft alignment with precision, using laser technology and an intuitive interface.

The TKSA models connect to a mobile app or a display unit, and guide the operator step by step during measurement and correction. They are suitable for horizontal, vertical alignment and machines with shafts separated by short or long distances.

If your plant has pumps, motors, compressors or gearboxes, a TKSA aligner helps you extend bearing life and reduce vibrations. Ask us about the model that suits your equipment.

SKF calibrated shims are steel sheets of exact thickness, used to level machines, adjust clearances or calibrate measuring instruments. They come in sets with different thicknesses, identified with the value engraved on each shim.

They are a basic tool in the maintenance workshop: they allow verifying bearing clearances, aligning housings and correcting unevenness in machine beds. The precision of the thickness is essential for the measurement to be reliable.

At MR we distribute SKF calibrated shims in different ranges and quantities of sheets. If you need a specific set, send us the measurement or thickness range and we'll quote it.

SKF is a brand recognized worldwide for its know-how in bearings and transmission systems. Its tools are designed under the same philosophy: precision, durability and safety for the operator and for the components.

Using inadequate tools to mount or dismount bearings is one of the most common causes of premature failure. A puller that slips or uneven heating can ruin a new bearing in minutes. SKF tools are designed to avoid those errors.

Moreover, the line is broad: from simple mechanical pullers to laser alignment systems with connectivity. This allows standardizing the tooling throughout the plant, with compatible spare parts and accessories.

SKF tools are used in food plants, steel mills, paper mills, mining, oil and gas, and general maintenance workshops. In all cases, the goal is the same: to intervene rotating equipment without damaging components and in the shortest possible time.

For example, a TMMA puller is ideal for dismounting a bearing from a small electric motor without disassembling the whole assembly. An induction heater allows mounting a large-diameter bearing in a gearbox without blows. A TKSA aligner corrects misalignment between motor and pump in less than an hour.

Calibrated shims, for their part, are for daily use in adjusting clearances and leveling machine tools. Having a complete set in the tool crib avoids improvising with elements that do not guarantee precision.

At MR Accesorios Industriales, based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, we distribute SKF tools for industrial maintenance. We work with the line of pullers, heaters, aligners and calibrated shims, among others.

To get a quote, you can write to us via WhatsApp or email indicating the product code (for example, a TMMA or TKSA model), the bearing measurement or a photo of the part to be extracted. With that we'll indicate the right tool and send you the quote shortly.

It doesn't matter if you are in CABA, Greater Buenos Aires or the interior: we ship throughout the country. If your inquiry is about a specific tool, don't hesitate to contact us.
