NEWS
| The new T40 Caravel Puller-Fitter on the web site of the Genova Boat Show 2010 |
| On YouTube you will find some clips to understand how the Caravel Puller-Fitter works |
Designed and built by Caravel, this tools is a fantastic solution to pull out a bearing from the shaft and to fit a new one in the same position.
It is a manually operated hydraulic machine which does not require any dangerous operation such as the removal of the shaft.
It is fast and efficient and a boon to the busy boatyard.
The shaft remains in situ, the bearing can be extracted and a new bearing fitted in minutes. What can take days completed in a fraction of the time without damage to housing or shaft.
Simple and practical to operate, no bearing can resist its compelling thrust.
From May 2009 it is also available the new kit to mount and dismount bearings.
Technical application
The equipment is designed to accept 2 basic size kits which cover bearing shell diameters up to 100 mm (outer diameter).
The kits are as follows:
T8 - for bearings with outer diameter not greater than 58 mm (shaft about 45 mm)
T13 - for bearings with outer diameter between 58 mm and 100 mm (shaft about 50-80 mm)
T40 - for bearings with outer diameter between 100 mm and 160 mm (shaft about 80-130 mm)
The above metric sizes are fully interchangeable with imperial sizes.
Optional size kits
One basic kit is standard - please advise which kit is required for your operation. With each kit will be supplied 2 half bearings guides and 2 guide blocks.
All two size kits can be made available if required at extra cost.
The puller-fitter is now available mounted on a jack (on demand): using these fantastic tools is now easier and safer
