Abstract
A bench top bearing packer tool includes supply means for delivering a controlled amount of grease, support means for locating a bearing in a position where a bearing cage and rollers of the bearing may be lubricated with the grease delivered by the supply means, the supply means having a grease delivery outlet communicating with a grease delivery inlet of the support means by a grease flow passageway, and means for controlling the passage of grease through the inlet to the bearing cage and rollers of the bearing.
Claims26
A bearing lubrication tool comprising supply means for delivering a controlled amount of grease, support means for locating a bearing in a position where a bearing cage and rollers of the bearing may be lubricated with the grease delivered by the supply means, the supply means having a grease delivery outlet communicating with a grease delivery inlet of the support means by a grease flow passageway, and means for controlling the passage of grease through the inlet to the bearing cage and rollers of the bearing.
A bearing cleaning assembly comprising a tube having a first end and a second end, the first end including an entry port for receiving cleaning fluid therethrough, a piston adapted to move reciprocatingly inside the tube, the piston connected to a rod that emerges from the second end of the tube and terminates in a handle, an air vent formed at the second end, a first conical member connected to the first end for directing cleaning fluid into the entry port, and a second conical member adapted to be submerged in cleaning fluid and to support a bearing in need of cleaning, wherein, in use, the bearing is sandwiched between the first and second conical members in the cleaning fluid, and the piston is withdrawn to draw cleaning fluid into the tube through the entry port, during which cleaning fluid is also drawn through and around the bearing so as to clean the bearing.
A bearing lubrication tool comprising:
- supply means for delivering a controlled amount of grease,
- support means for locating a bearing in a position where a bearing cage and rollers of the bearing may be lubricated with the grease delivered by the supply means,
- securing means for detachably coupling the supply means and the support means,
- the supply means having a grease delivery outlet communicating with a grease delivery inlet of the support means,
- a grease flow passageway for transferring grease received through the inlet to the bearing cage and rollers of the bearing,
- a plate adapted to prevent grease entering the bore of the bearing,
- wherein the support means includes a clamp adapted to apply downward pressure on the bearing sufficient to prevent upward movement of the bearing when grease is transferred thereto,
- the clamp being supported at a variable position relating to a shaft of the support means.
