Power Team pullers for bearings, gears and interference fits

Determine spread and reach first

Spread describes the lateral gripping range required. Reach describes how far the puller jaws must extend behind the part to be removed. Both dimensions are checked on the actual component.

It also matters whether external gripping is possible or whether an internal puller or special pulling fixture is required. Available force cannot replace proper mechanical engagement with the workpiece.

Mechanical or hydraulic

The catalogue describes mechanical two-jaw and three-jaw versions and hydraulic pullers in the PH family. Some hydraulic sets combine a puller, cylinder, pump and connection accessories. Whether a complete set or an addition is needed depends on existing equipment.

Depending on the intended arrangement, PPH systems can be used for pushing or pulling. Capacity also depends on configuration; longer legs or a different force direction cannot generally be equated with the standard rating.

A good enquiry includes the installation

Photos of the front and rear, shaft diameter, spread and reach help with selection. Also tell us whether a suitable hydraulic cylinder or pump is already available.

Important for your enquiry

• Is access possible externally, internally or only behind the component?
• What spread and reach are required?
• Which parts of the hydraulic system are already available?
