Tooling
Proper bearing installation is crucial to reliable bearing performance in service and the utilization of proper installation techniques and tooling is essential. The Shafer^®  Bearing Tri-Roller Swaging tool provides simple, fast and reliable installation of all types of grooved outer ring bearings. Rexnord^® has over 40 years of experience designing and selling bearing installation and removal tooling. 

Features of the Shafer Tri-Roller Swaging tool:
     • Simplifies operation, under complete operator control
     • Minimizes bearing internal free play and torque changes
     • Provides the highest push out loads of any tooling process
     • Ensures uniform, repeatable swaging around the entire bearing circumference
     • Specified by all major airframe manufacturers 
     • Can be custom designed to fit your specific bearing installation needs

Our customers have proven over the years that Rexnord^®  tools save the operator time, which results in cost savings. When these savings are compared to the cost of using other types of tooling, the choice of Shafer tooling is easy.

Rexnord understands that one tool style will not accommodate all grooved bearing installation/removal situations. We now offer various types of tooling for the many different circumstances confronting bearing installers and inspectors. These tools are designed specifically for the aerospace industry, including airframe and power plant manufacturers, their subcontractors, airlines and all commercial, private and military facilities involved in any maintenance, repair and overhaul.
