How to Remove a Bearing From a Shaft

 A bearing puller is utilized to remove unwanted moving parts like pulleys, bearings or gears, which are parts that are always in constant motion. For this reason, they get worn out easily and must be repaired or replaced. Bearings and gears are two essential parts of a lathe. Therefore, it is important to get these parts right when they are being installed. To begin, a bearing puller consists of a shaft and a collar that run vertically down the shaft. This collar has a screw that fits on top of the screw that runs through the hole in the shaft. The screw guides the rope as it is pulled, and the rope itself is threaded through a series of holes. The collar's thread goes through the holes on the shaft and thus pulls the bearing tooth on and off the shaft. In order to avoid stripping of stripped threads, it is recommended that you purchase bearing pullers that use a captive screw thread. This allows for the threads on the bearing pullers, to be protected and prevents them from strip...

Replacing a Blind Nut Rivet

 Blind nuts are fasteners that attach two pieces of wood together. While there are metal nuts, such as those used for roof brackets and tie rods, rivets are a form of fastener and are more commonly used. They are used in a wide variety of applications and can be made from a wide array of materials. There are basically two types of blind nuts, a blind nut rivet and a blind steel nut. The iron blind nut is often used as a leader but the steel blind iron may also be used. Rivets come in different sizes and materials. You can use small rivets for light fittings or larger ones for heavier tasks. Blinds can have small holes or large holes and will be able to allow air to pass through. They are also useful when holding carpet strands up and down or when securing smaller parts of furniture. It is important to drill all the necessary holes before fastening anything because if any of the holes are not drilled properly, the blind will not close properly. Blind rivet fasteners are very strong...

Compressors For Rattle Guns

 The dropping of objects or the entire structure coming down is a major cause of workplace accidents and fatalities. Fastener failure has led to plant malfunction, structural collapse and large objects falling to the ground, all of which are causes of injury or even death. Often a major contributing factor is the improper use of rattle Guns , also called impact wrenches or rattle guns, that causes the fasteners to be either under tightened or over tightened. The improper use or improper maintenance of these devices leads to the loosening or over tightening of bolts and nuts which eventually leads to catastrophic failures of not only the mechanical components but the supporting structures too. When a rattle gun is used, it uses a high powered compressed air that propels a flywheel which rotates a brush or a blade through the channeled slots of the tool's body. These tools are usually equipped with a clutch system that allows a more constant force to be driven to the brush or blade f...

Hydraulic Pump Sets

Hydraulic Pullers have been in use since the 1800's, but their contribution to the building work gave way to the more automated system. Hydraulic pressure is extracted from a shaft in order to move or lift objects using a pump. They are used in construction of roads, buildings, bridges, and many other places. As compared to the older mechanical methods, the hydraulic system has replaced them due to the greater advantages it offers. One of its most important characteristics is its ability to maintain constant pressure in the work area even if there is a considerable distance between the pulling object and the work surface. There are many types of Hydraulic Pullers available in the market. Some examples are: cylinder-driven, double-ended, drum-driven, direct-vent, and indirect-vent. In case of the drum-driven type, a drum or cylinder is placed on the end of a shaft, while the double-ended one mounts on both ends of a shaft and functions as a pump. The cylinder-driven type features a...
