20230201979 · 2023-06-29 ·

A seal device includes a first sidewall, a second sidewall and a carbon seal element. The first sidewall is arranged with a first tool die which centers the first sidewall about an axis. The first sidewall axially contacts the first tool die along the axis. The carbon seal element is arranged with a centering element which centers the carbon seal element about the axis. The carbon seal element circumscribes and radially contacts the centering element. The second sidewall is arranged with a second tool die which centers the second sidewall about the axis. The second sidewall axially contacts the second tool die along the axis. The first tool die and the second tool die are moved axially together along the axis to press fit the second sidewall into a bore of the first sidewall and axially capture the carbon seal element between the first sidewall and the second sidewall.

Systems and methods for preloading a bearing and aligning a lock nut
09850943 · 2017-12-26 · ·

A method of adjusting preload on a bearing assembly of a wheel mounted on an axle or spindle with a lock nut includes mounting a preload adjustment tool onto a threaded axle or spindle. The load on the bearing assembly is increased using the tool. The wheel on the axle or spindle is rotated to set the bearing assembly. The load on the bearing assembly is decreased to a desired maximum preload on the bearing. After decreasing the load on the bearing assembly to a desired maximum preload, the lock nut is tightened by hand until the lock nut cannot be further tightened. The lock nut is loosened by rotating the lock nut to a preferred location where a guide mark on the tool aligns with one mark on the lock nut located closest to the guide mark wherein a resultant preload on the bearing assembly is within a preset range from the desired maximum preload.

Power end hub puller kit apparatus and methods
11679456 · 2023-06-20 · ·

A hub puller kit for pulling hubs off of power ends of frac pumps, and a method of removing a hub from a pinion shaft of a power end using the hub puller kit. The hub puller kit has an adapter flange formed out of a monolithic body with fastener openings, and a hydraulic actuator coupled to the adapter flange. The adapter flange has a stepped surface formed on a first surface and a recessed surface formed in a second surface, and a central opening having a threaded flange portion that extends from the stepped surface to the recessed surface. The hydraulic actuator has a hydraulic cylinder and a hydraulic plunger disposed at least partially within the hydraulic cylinder, and a threaded actuator portion that engages the threaded flange portion to couple the hydraulic actuator to the adapter flange.

Heat sink structure and manufacturing method thereof

A heat sink structure and a manufacturing method thereof. The heat sink includes a main body and multiple radiating fins each having a folded root section. The main body has multiple connection channels formed on a circumference of the main body. The multiple radiating fins are placed in a mold. A mechanical processing measure is used to high-speed impact the main body so as to thrust the main body into the mold. Accordingly, the folded root sections of the radiating fins are relatively high-speed thrust into the connection channels of the main body to tightly integrally connect with the main body.

Universal joint dismantling tool
09737981 · 2017-08-22 ·

A universal joint (U-joint) dismantling tool includes an actuator coupled to a yoke. The yoke has two substantially parallel legs, spaced to form a pull channel therebetween. Each yoke leg terminates in a free end defining a foot surface. The actuator is adapted to substantially linearly draw a puller at least partially along a length of the yoke pull channel, thereby increasing a distance between a pull surface and the yoke foot surfaces.

Pin puller for crane connections

A pin puller is mounted between first and second connectors, preferably connectors on a lift crane, each of the connectors having a hole there though. The pin puller includes: a) first and second support frame members; b) a first pin with a first end located in the hole of the first connector and a second end inside the first support frame member; c) a second pin with a first end located in the hole of the second connector and a second end inside the second support frame member; d) at least one linear actuator connected to the first and second pins; and e) a length adjustment device between the first and second support frame members, with its length adjusted so as to force the first support frame member into contact with the first connector and the second support frame member into contact with the second connector.
