The SKF TMFT mounting kit is a maintenance tool designed to install bearings by cold impact. It includes impact rings and a sleeve that distribute the impact force evenly over the ring being mounted, preventing damage to the raceways and rolling elements. It is a practical solution for factories, industrial plants and maintenance services that need to mount bearings safely and repeatably, without resorting to hydraulic presses or improvised methods that compromise bearing service life.

The designation TMFT …-H identifies SKF mounting kits for bearings. The acronym TMFT corresponds to the category of impact mounting tools. The number that follows indicates the size or application range of the kit: for example, TMFT 36-H is a kit for bearings of a certain diameter. The suffix -H indicates that the kit includes a sleeve or handle for striking. Each kit comes with several impact rings of different diameters to suit different bearing sizes within its range. To select the right kit, identify the outer diameter of the bearing to be mounted and choose the kit whose range covers it.

These kits are used in mounting and maintenance tasks in industries such as food, cement, mining, steel, paper and aggregate processing, among others. In Argentina, they are common in production plants, machinery repair shops and maintenance services that work with rotating equipment: pumps, fans, conveyor belts, mills, mixers and gearboxes. They are also used by equipment manufacturers themselves and by shops that recondition bearings. Cold mounting with the TMFT kit avoids heating the bearing and reduces the risk of contamination, which is critical in dusty or humid environments.

For correct mounting, keep these criteria in mind: choose the impact ring that matches the diameter of the ring you are going to mount (the inner ring if the fit is on the shaft, or the outer ring if it is in the housing). Check that the bearing is clean and free of burrs. Apply a thin layer of lubricant to the seat before mounting. When striking, use a soft-face hammer or a mallet and strike the sleeve, not the bearing directly. Make sure the force is transmitted perpendicular to the shaft to avoid misalignment. If the bearing is large or the fit is very tight, consider mounting with controlled heating.

TMFT kits are compatible with bearings from different brands, as long as the impact ring is selected to match the bearing's outer or inner diameter. They are not tied to any particular brand: any bearing with the same dimensions can be mounted with the kit. If you need to replace a ring or the sleeve, ask about genuine SKF spare parts. For special applications, other SKF mounting systems exist, such as kits with hydraulic nuts or induction heaters, which may be more suitable depending on mounting volume and bearing size.
