The SKF TMFT mounting kit is an impact tool designed to mount bearings by cold impact safely and in a controlled way. It includes impact rings and a sleeve that distribute the impact force onto the correct ring, avoiding damage to the raceways and rolling elements. It is a practical solution for maintenance workshops, industrial plants and repair services that need to mount bearings without a hydraulic press or heating equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as part of its mounting and maintenance tool offering.

The designation of these kits combines the base series TMFT with a suffix that indicates the shaft or bore diameter range for which they are intended. For example, TMFT 36 A10-26 corresponds to a kit with a 36 mm sleeve and an impact ring that covers diameters from 10 to 26 mm. Likewise, TMFT 36 A12-32 or TMFT 36 A15-35 indicate different combinations of sleeve and ring. The numbers after the letter A are not a bearing code, but the size range covered by the ring. Choose the kit according to the diameter of the ring you are going to mount.

These kits are used for mounting bearings in electric motors, pumps, gearboxes, fans and process machinery. In Argentina they are common in mechanical maintenance workshops, oilseed plants, cement plants, steel plants and in the food and beverage sector, where bearings must be replaced frequently without damaging them. They are also useful in pump equipment repair services and in assembling gearboxes. The advantage is that they allow the impact to be applied uniformly on the ring that is fitted, without transmitting forces to the balls or rollers.

To select the correct kit, first identify the diameter of the inner or outer ring you are going to mount and verify that it is within the ring range. The sleeve must match the shaft or housing diameter to properly center the assembly. During mounting, apply gentle, repeated blows with a ball-peen hammer or nylon mallet on the sleeve, never directly on the bearing. If the bearing has a polymer cage or seals, avoid abrupt blows. Heating is not required, but if the fit is very tight, evaluate other methods.

SKF TMFT kits are compatible with bearings from different brands, as long as the ring diameter matches the ring range. There is no exact equivalence between codes from different tool manufacturers, so the safest approach is to compare the ring and sleeve dimensions. If you already have a kit from another brand, you can consult us about the dimensions to see if the replacement fits. Remember that the TMFT designation is specific to SKF and is not translated to other systems.

If you need to mount bearings by cold impact, this kit simplifies the task and reduces the risk of damaging the raceways. MR Accesorios Industriales carries the SKF TMFT line with different combinations of sleeve and ring. Send us by WhatsApp the complete code of the kit you are looking for, for example TMFT 36 A10-30, and we will quote you promptly. We can also advise you if you are unsure between two size ranges.
