How are pullers measured?

The puller reach represents the distance between the pulling surface of the jaw and the jaw head of the puller. This distance varies and decreases as the jaws are opened.

How to detect noise & vibration issues in pillow blocks?

• Ensure that the pillow block and its components are properly aligned with the shaft and other connected machinery.
• Inadequate or improper lubrication can lead to increased friction and noise.
• Worn-out or damaged bearings can contribute to noise and vibration.
• Regularly inspect and replace bearings as needed to maintain smooth operation and minimise noise levels.
• Excessive loads on the pillow block can result in increased vibration and noise.
• Ensure that the load on the pillow block does not exceed its rated capacity to minimise these issues.
