Abstract
A tool for inserting and removing components, in particular bearings, bushes or the like, particularly in the automotive sector, has a spindle, a first sleeve body having a first ramp-form outer circumferential surface and a through-hole, through which the spindle can be axially guided, a second sleeve body having a second ramp-form outer circumferential surface and a through-hole, through which the spindle can be axially guided, and also a first pressure body and a second pressure body.
Claims16
A tool for inserting and removing components into or from a component mount, comprising
- a spindle;
- a first sleeve body with a first ramp-form outer circumferential surface for resting against the component in a clearance-free and centred manner, and a through-hole, through which the spindle can be axially guided;
- a second sleeve body with a second ramp-form outer circumferential surface for resting against the component in a clearance-free and centred manner, and a through-hole, through which the spindle can be axially guided, it being possible to provide the second sleeve body such that the second ramp-form outer circumferential surface is facing the first ramp-form outer circumferential surface;
- a first pressure body which can be coupled to the first sleeve body to axially apply pressure thereto;
- and
- a second pressure body which can be coupled to the second sleeve body to axially apply pressure thereto.
A method for inserting or removing components into or from a component mount, comprising the steps:
- bringing a first ramp-form outer circumferential surface of a first sleeve body into contact with a first end region of a wall, defining an inner hole, of the component;
- bringing a second ramp-form outer circumferential surface of a second sleeve body into contact with a second end region, opposite the first end region, of the wall, defining the inner hole, of the component, a spindle being axially guided through a through-hole in the first sleeve body, through the hole inside the component and also through a through-hole in the second sleeve body;
- axially applying a force to the first sleeve body in the direction of the second sleeve body by means of a first pressure body;
- axially applying a force to the second sleeve body in the direction of the first sleeve body by means of a second pressure body;
- and
- axially applying a force to the spindle and thereby moving the component out of or into the bearing mount.
