Hydraulic tool for driving a pulling and/or pressing device, comprising a drive shaft that can be mounted to a screwdriver, wherein the drive shaft is operable to drive a hydraulic pump that pumps hydraulic fluid into the operating chamber of a hydraulic power piston. The hydraulic tool may in particular be configured as a riveting or punching attachment for a cordless screwdriver.

A system for mounting an annular component on a shaft, comprising (a) a hydraulic nut having an annular coaxial cavity and a ring-like piston, displaceable within the cavity; (b) a displacement sensor for providing a displacement signal indicating the axial displacement of the piston within the cavity; (c) a wireless displacement transmitter for transmitting the displacement signal; (d) a pressure sensor for providing a pressure signal indicating a pressure within the cavity; (e) a wireless pressure transmitter for transmitting the pressure signal; (f) a pump arranged to pump fluid into the cavity; and (g) a remote control device having a communications device arranged to receive transmitted pressure and displacement signals, wherein the remote control device is arranged to output control information for controlling the pump.

The invention is an improved tool for pulling a valve seat from a valve in a fluid end. The invention replaces the standard threaded nut and stem commonly used in such tools with a split nut comprising a plurality of removeably engageable split nut segments placed within a base and a stem configured to be used with the plurality of removeably engageable split nut segments. In the preferred embodiment, each split nut segment possesses a center-facing surface relative to the longitudinal axis of the invention comprising a set of horizontal v-grooves suitable to be disposed against complementary v-grooves of the stem. The base permits the plurality of split nut segments to be placed in an engaged position permitting the v-grooves of the split nut segments to removeably engage the v-grooves of the stem securely or to be placed in a disengaged position. The base containing the split nut segments is durable enough to be used in oil field work but lightweight enough to be used by individual or groups of workers safely.

A device to extract a support yoke from a reheat stop valve of a steam turbine is provided. The device includes a hydraulic cylinder for applying a pushing force to the support yoke, an attaching means for attaching the hydraulic cylinder to the reheat stop valve casing, and a pushing means coupled to the hydraulic cylinder and configured to evenly impart the pushing force to the support yoke from within the reheat stop valve in order to separate the reheat stop valve from the support yoke. A method to extract a support yoke from a reheat stop valve of a steam turbine is also provided.

A tool for use in combination with an air hammer for removing and/or installing an anchor pin bushing. The tool includes a drive shaft and an adaptor that is removably attachable to the drive shaft. A first end of the drive shaft is configured for removable attachment to an air hammer. A second end of the drive shaft is configured for removable attachment with the adaptor. The adaptor includes a flanged end and a notched end. Both the flanged end and notched end include a counterbore sized and configured to fit over an anchor pin. The notched end of the adaptor is used for removing an anchor pin bushing and the flanged end of the adaptor is used to install an anchor pin bushing.

A system for providing a load on a bearing mounted to a shaft includes an attaching member releasably connectable to the shaft and a press mechanism in fluid communication with a source of fluid and configured to provide a compressive load to the bearing. The press mechanism includes a switch having a base and a piston in communication with the fluid such that an increase in a pressure of the fluid results in the piston extending upwardly from the base and a decrease in the pressure of the fluid results in the piston retracting toward the base. The switch includes a lower proximity sensor and a higher proximity sensor. The piston is configured to extend upwardly from the base past the lower proximity sensor and to trip the higher proximity sensor. The switch is configured to control the increase in the pressure in response to the piston tripping the higher proximity sensor.

A tool kit for vehicles, for dismounting, mounting and/or separating components associated with transmission assemblies and/or suspension assemblies. The tool kit includes a tool yoke including an elongated body, a threaded central through hole and a slit arranged on each side of the central through hole. Each slit is arranged to receive at least one threaded jaw fastener to extend there through. Further, the tool kit includes a pair of jaw units attachable to the tool yoke and arranged to engage one of the components in order to perform an operation thereon. The jaw units are securable to the tool yoke at different positions along the tool yoke by the jaw fasteners.

A method of restoring a wheel (1) to compliance, the wheel having a plurality of ovalized bores (2). The method is characterized in that it includes at least a step of boring a first ovalized bore (2) with the help of a reamer (3) presenting a longitudinal pilot portion (3a) and a longitudinal cutter portion (3b), the cutter portion (3b) presenting teeth (4) defining a cutting diameter (D2), and the pilot portion (3a) presenting a pilot diameter (D1) strictly less than the cutting diameter (D2), the step of boring this first ovalized bore (2) consisting in inserting the reamer (3) into the first ovalized bore (2), beginning with the pilot portion (3a) and followed by the cutter portion (3b), the pilot diameter (D1) being such that it enables the reamer (3) to be guided in translation inside the first ovalized bore (2) for boring.

A tool assembly is provided for removing a component from a carrier. The component circumscribes and is mounted on the carrier. The tool assembly includes a tool head, an adaptor and an actuator. The tool head is configured to couple to the component. The adaptor extends longitudinally along a centerline between an adaptor first end and an adaptor second end. The adaptor is attachable to the tool head at the adaptor first end by a first quick coupler. The actuator includes a housing and a ram. The housing is attachable to the adaptor at the adaptor second end by a second quick coupler. The ram extends longitudinally along the centerline within the adaptor and the tool head to a ram distal end. The ram distal end is configured to engage the carrier.
