• Splitter Halves: Two precision-machined halves that clamp around the bearing.
• Clamping Screws/Rods: Threaded rods and nuts used to tighten the splitter halves.
• Mounting Holes: Holes for attaching a puller or press for extraction.

4. Setup

Before using the bearing splitter, ensure your workspace is clean and well-lit.

1. Assess the Bearing: Determine the size of the bearing or part to be removed to ensure it falls within the splitter's capacity (up to 2-1/4 inches).
2. Clean the Area: Remove any dirt, grease, or debris from around the bearing to ensure a secure grip.
3. Position the Splitter: Place the two halves of the splitter around the bearing, ensuring the knife-edge is positioned behind the bearing race.
4. Insert Clamping Screws: Insert the threaded rods through the holes in the splitter halves.
5. Hand Tighten Nuts: Thread the nuts onto the rods and hand-tighten them until the splitter halves are snug against the bearing.

5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for effective and safe bearing removal.

Figure 5.1: The TRUPER EX-B2 Bearing Splitter in operation, typically used in conjunction with a puller. This illustration demonstrates how the splitter clamps around a bearing, allowing a puller to apply force to extract it from a shaft or housing.

1. Secure the Splitter: Using a wrench, gradually and evenly tighten the nuts on the clamping screws. Ensure both sides are tightened equally to apply even pressure. The splitter should firmly grip the bearing.
2. Attach Puller (if applicable): If using a puller, attach its arms to the designated mounting holes on the splitter halves. Ensure the puller's center screw is aligned with the shaft or part from which the bearing is being removed.
3. Apply Force:
   • With a Puller: Slowly turn the puller's center screw clockwise to apply pressure and extract the bearing.
   • With a Press: Position the assembly under a hydraulic press, ensuring the splitter and bearing are stable. Apply gradual pressure to press the bearing out.
4. Monitor Progress: Observe the bearing as it separates. If resistance is excessive, re-check the setup and ensure the splitter is correctly positioned.
5. Remove Bearing: Once the bearing is free, carefully remove the splitter and the extracted bearing.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your TRUPER EX-B2 Bearing Splitter.

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the splitter with a clean cloth to remove any dirt, grease, or metal shavings.
• Lubrication: Apply a light coat of grease or oil to the threaded rods and nuts periodically to ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion. The compatible lubricant is grease.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the splitter for signs of wear, cracks, or deformation. Pay close attention to the knife-edges and threaded components.
• Storage: Store the tool in a dry environment to prevent rust. A tool box or drawer is ideal.
