Aero staking – Aerospace Bearing Staking Tools

ANVIL STAKING TOOL (ASA)

Use of Anvil staking Tools is the simplest method of retention of bearing in the housing.

Angled Ring type Staking tools capable of crimping or flaring out the lip of V-grooved bearing under force applied

Anvil Tool utilizes:

• • Hydraulic Press
  • Mechanical / Arbor Press
  • Pneumatic Press

• Features:
• The ASA is a straightforward and traditional bearing staking tool that consists of a solid anvil and a hammer or press.
• It is commonly used for light-duty applications and situations where precision is not as critical.
• The ASA typically requires manual force to stake bearings into place, making it suitable for small-scale operations.
• Advantages:
• Simplicity: The ASA is easy to use and does not require extensive training.
• Cost-Effective: It is often more affordable than other staking tools, making it a practical choice for budget-conscious users.
• Applications:
• The ASA is well-suited for low-impact tasks, such as hobbyist projects and simple bearing installations where precision tolerances are not essential.

BALL IMPRESSION STAKING TOOL (ASB)

Aero Staking ASB Tools are made IAW:

• Method 300 of NAS0331
• Per AS specification

ASB’s are used on ductile materials in Housing over the bearing’ staking and sleeved bearing staking. Click here and check our Aerospace Bearing Tool Kits

• Features:
• The ASB features a ball-tip staking tool that creates precise impressions on the bearing’s surface.
• This tool is designed for applications that demand higher accuracy and repeatability.
• ASB may require a pneumatic or hydraulic press to generate the necessary force for staking.
• Advantages:
• Precision: ASB provides consistent and repeatable results, making it ideal for applications where tight tolerances are crucial.
• Versatility: It can be used for various bearing sizes and configurations.
• Applications:
• ASB is commonly used in industries like automotive manufacturing, aerospace, and industrial machinery, where precision and reliability are paramount.

SEGMENT IMPRESSION STAKING TOOL (ASG)

Segmented staking tools uses:

• Hydraulic Press
• Mechanical / Arbor Press
• Pneumatic Press

ASG’s are used on ductile materials in: “Housing over the bearing” Staking and sleeved bearing staking. Check us on MRO magazine.

• Features:
• The ASG utilizes a segmented staking tool that creates multiple impressions simultaneously around the bearing circumference.
• It is designed for high-volume production and can be automated for efficiency.
• ASG tools are often used with hydraulic or pneumatic presses to ensure consistent and controlled staking.
• Advantages:
• Efficiency: ASG tools can stake multiple bearings quickly, reducing assembly time and labor costs.
• Consistency: They provide uniform staking results, minimizing the risk of bearing misalignment or damage.
• Applications:
• ASG tools are well-suited for mass production environments, such as automotive assembly lines, where large quantities of bearings need to be staked with precision and speed.

In example:

• Bombardier BAPS
• Method 400 of NAS0331
• Per AS specification
