ENERPAC has released Posi Lock pullers said to be capable of extracting the most stubborn bearings and seals safely and precisely.
The distributer claims the manual and the hydraulic Posi Locks offer efficiency as well as safety, because one man can do a job that often requires two men with other tools. The pullers will even grip on surfaces where normal pullers would slip off — for example, on tapered bearings
The heavy-duty pullers are available in capacities from 2-100 tonnes with two-jaw and three-jaw configurations.
The supplier says the units feature a patented “Safety Cage” jaw retention system designed to permit safe and efficient one-man operation without damage to the workpiece.
The pullers feature a slim, tapered jaw which has been designed to overcome the common problem of difficult access to important vehicle and machinery components during overhaul and routine maintenance.
