The hydraulic line of gear and bearing puller featuring the patented Safety Cage design has been expanded to include a 4-jaw, 200 ton puller. The PH-200T jaws have a reach of 1219mm and a spread range from 203.2 to 1333.5mm. The hydraulic-powered dual mast lift cart will extend from ground to 1524 mm. The puller can be removed from the cart and can be used in either horizontal or vertical positions. Jaws are hydraulically guided by the safety cage and jaw tips can be manually adjusted for optimal contact with the pulling surface. Operator convenience and safety is further enhanced with a two-stage electric pump featuring a remote jog switch.
Kevin Rundle, Falk Project Coordinator said; “We service huge gearboxes here, with motors up to 1500 kw and more. We have to achieve timely turnaround for vital equipment used by customers such as the nearby Hunter Valley mines and other East Coast mines, as well as meeting the needs of huge industrial processing and materials handling groups that can’t afford extensive downtime. Precision, efficiency and safety are top priority with us.”
The Posi Lock pullers efficiently solve problems associated with the removal of gears, bearings, wheels, pulleys, sleeves and other press fit items in diverse industries, resulting in substantial time and cost savings. By using the correct dismounting equipment, damage to the shaft and related components is greatly reduced, which in turn ensures that maintenance downtime is minimized.
