  • Publication number: 20150059183
    Abstract: A method of removing a part from a shaft is provided. The part is attached to the shaft with an interference fit. The method includes the steps of, inserting an expandable plug into the shaft, and adding coolant to an interior of the shaft. The coolant cools the shaft from the interior of the shaft to an exterior of the shaft. Another step removes the part from the shaft. The part is removed from the shaft without sustaining damage to either the part or the shaft, so that the part and the shaft may be refurbished or reused.

  • Publication number: 20140123760
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus are disclosed for monitoring the state of a roller bearing. The apparatus includes a vibration sensor, configured to detect vibrations which occur during operation of the bearing, and to generate a first signal as a function of the detected vibrations. A diagnosis electronics system is configured to output an item of information about a state of the bearing on the basis of the first signal and at least one limit value stored in the diagnosis electronics system. A sound emission sensor is provided, configured to pick up noises, produced in the event of plastic deformation of the bearing at least in regions. A second signal is then transmitted to the diagnosis electronics system, taking into account the picked-up noises.
