The SKF TMFT mounting kit is a tool designed to install bearings by cold impact without damaging the raceways or the cage. It includes impact rings and a sleeve that distribute force evenly over the ring being mounted. It is a practical solution for maintenance workshops that need repetitive and safe mounting, avoiding the use of improvised tools that can compromise bearing service life.

The TMFT series designation reads as a mounting set: the letters TM identify the SKF maintenance tool line, and the F corresponds to mounting kits with impact rings. The number that follows indicates the shaft diameter range covered by the kit, and the final letter A indicates the revision or variant of the kit. For example, the TMFT 12A is intended for smaller diameter shafts, while the TMFT 36 A covers a larger range. Each kit includes several rings and a sleeve to adapt to different sizes.

These kits are used in industries such as food, cement, mining, paper, and in general maintenance workshops. In Argentina, they are common in plants that need to replace bearings in pumps, electric motors, gearboxes, fans, and conveyors. Cold impact mounting is common when a hydraulic press is not available or when the bearing cannot be heated due to process restrictions. The TMFT allows this task to be performed with greater control and safety, reducing the risk of damaging the bearing or the shaft.

To select the right kit, take into account the shaft diameter and the type of bearing to be mounted. It is essential that the impact ring rests on the ring that is fixed (generally the inner ring) and never on the cage or the rolling elements. The sleeve must be correctly centered to avoid lateral loads. Before mounting, check the cleanliness of the shaft and the housing, and apply a thin layer of lubricant. Alignment is key: tap gently and perpendicularly to avoid damaging the raceways.

Regarding equivalences and interchangeability, TMFT kits are specific to SKF, but similar tools from other manufacturers exist that can perform an equivalent function. However, it is important to verify that the impact rings are compatible with the diameter and type of bearing. Not all kits cover the same ranges, so it is always advisable to compare measurements before replacing a tool. Interchangeability between brands is not guaranteed and may affect mounting precision.
