SKF TMFT 36/PRO – Professional Bearing Installation Tool Kit

What is the TMFT 36/PRO?

The TMFT 36/PRO is a complete bearing fitting tool kit that allows the safe installation of bearings, bushings, seal rings, and even belt pulleys. The PRO version enhances the traditional TMFT 36 set with stronger components and improved usability, making it suitable for heavy-duty industrial use. :

Key Features and Benefits

• Versatile mounting range: The kit covers bore diameters from 10 mm to 55 mm and outer diameters from 26 mm to 120 mm, making it suitable for many common bearing sizes.
• Improved efficiency: With the included heavy-duty dead-blow hammer and impact rings, only a few controlled strikes are needed to fit components into position quickly and precisely. 
• Durable design: The PRO version uses aluminium impact sleeves, providing excellent longevity and performance over many years of use.
• Enhanced safety: Handguard protection on the sleeves helps reduce the risk of injury during hammering, while the nylon hammer head prevents damage to the components.
• Portable and organized: All components are supplied in a strong, lightweight carry case with clearly marked storage slots and easy-to-follow instructions.

What’s Included in the Kit

The TMFT 36/PRO fitting tool kit typically includes:

• 36 impact rings in various sizes
• 3 anodised aluminium impact sleeves
• 1 heavy-duty dead-blow hammer with nylon double-faced head
• Strong carrying case with storage inlays
• Instructions for use

Why Use a Bearing Fitting Tool Kit?

Proper bearing installation is crucial for machine reliability and long bearing life. Incorrect assembly using makeshift tools or excessive force can damage bearing raceways, rolling elements, or cages, leading to premature failures and costly downtime. The TMFT kit ensures that mounting force is applied only to the appropriate bearing rings and not to critical internal parts. 

Applications

This tool kit is widely used in industrial maintenance and mechanical workshops for:

• Bearing mounting on shafts and in housings
• Installation of bushings and seals
• Assembly of belt pulleys and other press-fit parts
• Blind housing applications where press access is limited

Whether you work in manufacturing, machine service, or general maintenance, the TMFT 36/PRO offers a reliable way to improve productivity and reduce the risk of assembly-related bearing damage.
