REXNORD SWAGING HANDBOOK

SHAFER BEARING TOOLS

Buying high quality bearings is only the first step toward achieving complete satisfaction for bearing applications. Proper installation is the crucial step that allows the bearings full design capabilities to be transformed into the expected performance desired by the end user. Rexnords extensive experience in bearing design and application, plus over 30 years experience in designing and selling installation tooling, makes us uniquely qualified to meet all your installation, swaging, proof testing, and

bearing removal needs. Rexnord understands that one tool style will not accommodate all

grooved installation/removal

bearing situations

and now offers various types of tooling for the many different circumstances confronting

bearing installers and inspectors. These tools for are the particularly aerospace

designed

industry such as airframe and power plant manufacturers, their subcontractors, their

subcontractors, the airlines, and all commercial, private and

military facilities involved in any maintenance, repair and overhaul.

Our customers have proven over the years that the use of these tools saves time and offers other cost savings benefits. When these savings are compared to using nearly all other type of tooling the choice of Shafer Tooling is relatively simple.

In order to overcome the many problems inherent in swaging bearings, Shafer developed two types of Tri-Roller Tools. The first is a drill press tool for production or short runs and the second, a portable tool particularly designed for on-wing maintenance, repair and overhaul. Both tools incorporate the following features so that maximum bearing

performance is assured by highest quality bearing installation.

Features of the Tri-Roller Tools Drill Press and Portable

Simplicity of operation under complete operator control Easy to use, with readily available shop equipment Minimizes bearing internal free play & torque changes due to outer ring distortion Develops full thrust capabilities of the swaged lip Ensures uniform swaging around the entire bearing circumference Repeatable swaging quality Specified by all major airframe manufacturers

Portable
Needs no power equipment can easily swage bearings using only a small wrench Bearing swaging can be done in confined areas Bearing housing removal is unnecessary

Process and Operating Instructions for the:

Tri-Roller Drill Press Swaging Tool

The Shafer Tri-Roller swaging tool is simple to set-up and operate. A small hand-fed drill press is recommended to install grooved bearings into their housings. Begin by inserting the roller fixture into the drill press spindle and setting the spindle speed to approximately 100RPM (higher speeds can be used when the operator gains more proficiency). Note: Guide bars or fixtures may be used to accurately position the locating fixture for repeated operations Next, position the housing and bearing on the locating fixture and guide the pilot of the roller fixture into the bearing bore Utilize light pressure during initial revolutions to allow the rollers to center in the bearing grove Follow this with more arm pressure until the bearing lip is swaged (approximately 5 seconds) Turn the bearing and housing over and repeat the process Inspect the swaged lip per instructions

Process and Operating Instructions for the:

Tri-Roller Portable Swaging Tool

Shafers Tri-Roller portable tool is simple to operate. There are two styles which operate in similar fashion although there are slight variations which are described below. Begin by placing the bearing into the housing and inserting the roller fixture pilot into the bearing until the rollers seat against the lip of the bearing groove Mount the locating fixture on the opposite side of the bearing by threading the bolt of the locating fixture into the pilot of the roller fixture until the entire assembly is snug against the lip of the bearing groove. (For the through bolt style: thread the bolt of the roller fixture into the pilot of the locating fixture) Rotate the roller fixture by hand to insure there are no restrictions Next, turn the locating fixture nut approximately 5 degrees and rotate the roller fixture several revolutions or until there is no resistance. Repeat this sequence until the bearing lip is properly swaged (for the through bolt style: tighten the cap screw as necessary insuring that constant pressure is maintained as the roller fixture is turned until swaging is complete Then, disassemble the unit by unscrewing the locating fixture bolt (for through bolt style: unscrew roller fixture bolt) and flip-flop locating and roller fixture and repeat the swaging procedure on the opposite side of the bearing Inspect the swaged lip per instructions

Shafer Hydraulic Swaging Systems

In addition to the Tri-Roller Swaging tools, Shafer offer a line of portable removal, installation, proof testing, and anvil swaging tools. A standard line of portable tools designed for the MS14101 and MS14103 bearings is available as a complete system. All of the hydraulic equipment, dies, and gauging for these sizes of bearings, plus full documentation for their use is included. They are neatly packaged in durable, fitted cases, which protect and keep them well organized for use.

Bearing removal using standard type tools designed for these kits is based upon housing material of equal or greater strength than the swaged lip material. For housing materials of lesser strength, such as aluminum, Shafer also offers a line of tools which cuts away the majority of the bearings swaged lip without damaging the housing bore. The bearing is then easily pushed out of the housing.

Process and Operating Instructions for:

Hydraulic Bearing Removal

The first step is to assemble the hydraulic system by simply connecting the hose assembly to the hydraulic pump oil outlet by hand (no tools required). Next, install the receiver and driver dies (Note 1) into the ram that will be used (Note 2). Close the pressure control valve on the hydraulic pump and pump the handle to pressurize they system until the bearing is displaced from the housing. When finished, open the pressure-control valve on the pump and the cylinder will retract. Remove and scrap the used bearing.

Process and Operating Instructions for:

Hydraulic Bearing Press Fit Installation

The first step is to assemble the hydraulic system by simply connecting the hose assembly to the hydraulic pump oil outlet by hand (no tools required). Next, install the anvil, which differs from the receiver and driver dies (Note 1) in or on the ram that will be used (Note 2). Place the housing against the anvil and the bearing on the driver Close the pressure-control valve on the forward, right hand of the hydraulic pump and pump to pressurize the system while holding the bearing and housing in position until the bearing is seated against the anvil Open the pressure-control valve on the pump and the cylinder will retract.

Notes: 1. Determined from the table included with the ram unit. Frame Ram and 9/16 to 1 bore bearings use Center Pull Ram. 7

2. Bearing size will determine which ram to use: 1/4" to 1/2" bore bearing use C-

Hydraulic Bearing Swaging

The first step is to assemble the hydraulic system by simply connecting the hose assembly to the hydraulic pump oil outlet by hand (no tools required). Next, install the swaging dies (ref. to Note 1, pg. 7) into the ram that will be used (ref. to Note 2, pg. 7). Place the housing against the anvil and the bearing on the driver. Close the pressure-control valve on the hydraulic pump and pump to pressurize the system to the correct pounds of force as specified on the table included with the ram unit. When finished, open the pressure-control valve on the pump and the cylinder will retract. Inspect the swage per instructions.

Process and Operating Instructions for:

Hydraulic Bearing Proof Testing

The first step is to assemble the hydraulic system by simply connecting the hose assembly to the hydraulic pump oil outlet by hand (no tools required). Next, install the receiver and the driver dies (ref. to Note 1, pg. 7) into the ram that will be used (ref. to Note 2, pg. 7). Then mount the proof test indicator and adapter on the receiver die. Place the housing and bearing sub-assembly on the anvil. Close the pressure-control valve on the hydraulic pump and pressurize the system so that the housing is snug against the driver die. Position the dial indicator on the driver die and set it to zero. Pump the system to the specified force given on the chart included with the ram unit and verify that any axial movement is less than that specified. Open the pressure-control valve on the pump and the cylinder will retract.

Process and Operating Instructions for the:

Cutting Tool
Similar to the portable swaging tool the cutter tool is easy to use and requires only hand wrenches. The first step is to tighten the face support and the cutter support onto the bearing so that the ball and outer race are locked in place. The washers will insure that the cutter maintains constant pressure. A wrench is then applied to the hex of the cutter and rotated to cut the retention groove flange. An internal stop on the cutter will keep the cutter teeth from penetrating into and damaging the housing.
