SKF Mounting and maintenance tools

The SKF TMAS shim kit is a precision tool for machine alignment. It is used to correct deviations in equipment leveling by inserting shims of controlled thickness at the supports. It is an essential supply in industrial mounting and maintenance tasks, where positional accuracy is critical for the performance and service life of components. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as part of its offering of mounting and maintenance tools.

The TMAS series designation is structured with a first number indicating the shim width in millimeters, followed by a second number defining the thickness in hundredths of a millimeter. For example, TMAS 50-010 corresponds to a shim 50 mm wide and 0.10 mm thick. The numeric suffix allows you to quickly select the right combination for each adjustment. Examples such as TMAS 2-050, TMAS 50-005, TMAS 50-020, TMAS 50-025, TMAS 50-040, TMAS 50-050 and TMAS 50-070 show the variety of thicknesses available within the series.

These shim kits are used in industries such as food, chemical, petrochemical and manufacturing, where the alignment of pumps, motors, compressors and gear reducers is essential. In Argentina, they are common in process plants, refineries and maintenance workshops. They allow vertical and horizontal deviations to be corrected during equipment installation, facilitating precise leveling and reducing vibration and premature wear of bearings and seals.

To select the right kit, consider the width of the support and the range of thicknesses needed for the correction. The shims are placed at the anchor points, combining different thicknesses to achieve the desired alignment. It is important to clean the surfaces and avoid burrs that affect precision. Lubricating the shims is not necessary, but keeping them free of contaminants is. Careful mounting ensures alignment repeatability.

SKF TMAS shims can be replaced by equivalent products from other brands, as long as dimensions and material are respected. When requesting a quote, it is advisable to provide the complete part number and the required quantity. MR Accesorios Industriales offers advice on choosing the right alternative for the application. Interchangeability between brands depends on tolerances and surface quality, so verifying the technical specifications is recommended.

The SKF TMMP mechanical puller is a jaw-type tool designed for the removal of bearings, pulleys, gears and other interference-fitted parts. Its screw and jaw mechanism allows controlled force to be applied without damaging components. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as part of its catalog of mounting and maintenance tools, with more than 80 years of experience in the industrial sector.

The TMMP series designation combines the number of jaws and the opening capacity. For example, TMMP 2X65 indicates a two-jaw puller with a 65 mm reach, while TMMP 3X185 corresponds to a three-jaw unit with 185 mm. Suffixes such as -2 or -6 identify variants within the same family, generally associated with different working ranges or arm configurations. When requesting a quote, it is advisable to indicate the complete part number to ensure the correct version.

These pullers are used in maintenance workshops, production plants and rotating equipment repair services. They are common in the automotive, metallurgical, food and process industries, where bearings, bushings, pulleys and couplings must be removed without resorting to destructive methods. In Argentina, they are a common tool for maintenance mechanics.

To select the right puller, take into account the outer diameter of the part to be removed, the grip depth and the space available around it. Two-jaw versions offer greater access in tight spaces, while three-jaw versions provide a more balanced grip and are preferred for parts requiring uniform removal. It is essential to center the screw and apply force progressively to avoid deformation.

Interchangeability between pullers from different brands is defined by the grip dimensions and the screw thread. Although part numbers may vary, metric capacities allow you to find functional equivalents. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can advise you on choosing the right replacement according to the measurements of your application.

Before mounting, check that the jaws are in good condition and that the screw turns freely. Lubricate the thread periodically to extend service life. To request a quote for the SKF TMMP puller you need, send us the part number via WhatsApp and we will reply shortly.

The SKF TMBR heating ring is an aluminum tool designed to heat inner rings of cylindrical roller bearings by induction before mounting. It is used in workshops and plants where the part needs to be expanded in a controlled way to fit it without impacts or stress. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as part of its range of mounting and maintenance tools, with more than 80 years of experience in the field.

The TMBR NU… designation identifies the SKF heating ring for inner rings of cylindrical roller bearings of the NU series. The number after NU indicates the bearing size: for example, TMBR NU207, TMBR NU208, TMBR NU210 and TMBR NU212 cover increasing diameters within series 2, while TMBR NU305, TMBR NU307 and TMBR NU308 do the same in series 3. Choose the model that matches the bearing part number to be mounted.

These rings are used in industries such as food, cement, steel, paper and mining, where cylindrical roller bearings are common in gearboxes, pumps, fans and conveyors. In Argentina, maintenance workshops and production plants rely on this type of tool to speed up shutdowns and prevent damage to components.

To select the correct ring, verify that the TMBR code matches the bearing: the NU suffix and the number must be the same. During mounting, heat the ring evenly and in a controlled manner; the aluminum ring transfers heat by induction. Do not expose it to direct flame or overheat it. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for temperature and heating time.

SKF TMBR heating rings are compatible with bearings from other brands that share the same dimensional designation. If you have doubts about the equivalence, consult us with the exact bearing part number and we will advise you. Do not improvise with generic tools: uniform heating is key to avoid altering the steel properties.

At MR Accesorios Industriales we carry the SKF TMBR line as an official brand we represent. If you need a quote for a heating ring for your bearing, send us the complete part number via WhatsApp and we will reply shortly.
