Abstract
A modular tool (10) for measuring the disassembly torques of a metal shield (36) of a seal (35) for a bearing unit (30). The tool (10) has a torque gauge (20) equipped with a hexagonal key (22). A base element (40) is rotationally integral with the torque gauge (20). A modular element (50) is rotationally integral with the base element (40) and with the shield (36) of the bearing unit (30). The tool includes a support platform (6) for the bearing unit (30). The base element (40) is invariable with respect to the size of the bearing unit (30). The modular element (50) has a variable size according to the size of the bearing unit (30).
Claims8
A modular tool for measuring disassembly torques of a metal shield of a seal for a bearing unit, the bearing unit having an axis of rotation, a radially outer ring, and a radially inner ring, the radially outer ring being stationary having a seat, the radially inner ring being rotatable, the shield being mounted by means of interference in the seat of the radially outer ring and has a plurality of through-holes, the modular tool comprising:
- a torque gauge having a hexagonal key;
- a base element rotationally integral with the torque gauge and which is configured, during use, to assume the axis of rotation of the bearing unit as an axis of symmetry, the base element being invariable with respect to the size of the bearing unit;
- a modular element rotationally integral with the base element and configured to be rotationally integral with the shield of the bearing unit, the modular element being configured, during use, to assumes the axis of rotation of the bearing unit as an axis of symmetry, the modular element having a variable size according to the size of the bearing unit;
- and
- a support platform for the bearing unit, the support platform configured to stably lock both the radially outer ring and the radially inner ring.
