Abstract

An extractor tool, in particular for bearing rings. This extractor tool is intended to be suitable, in particular, for extracting, or demounting, bearing rings, and it is also intended to be used in mounting situations in which radial access and bilateral axial access to the machine part to be demounted are not possible and, in addition, the extractor tool is to be simple and cost-effective to produce and easy to operate. The extractor tool has at least one magnet for non-positively connecting the extractor tool to a machine part to be extracted, in particular a bearing ring.

Claims (15)

1. An extractor tool for extracting a ring-shaped machine part from a working position along an axis, wherein the extractor tool comprises:

an annular corpus having an opening through a center and a first outside face;

at least one magnet for non-positively connecting the first outside face of the extractor tool to the ring-shaped machine part; and

at least one handle on a second outside face wherein the handle is U-shaped having two legs and a bottom portion connecting the two legs, the handle is connected to the second outside face so that the bottom portion of the handle faces away from the first outside face.

2. The extractor tool according to claim 1 , wherein the extractor tool is substantially rotationally symmetrical, and the at least one magnet is arranged on the first outside face of the annular corpus.

3. The extractor tool according to claim 1 , wherein a multiplicity of magnets are distributed circumferentially over the annular corpus.

4. The extractor tool according to claim 3 , wherein the multiplicity of magnets are arranged on the first outside face of the annular corpus.

5. The extractor tool according to claim 3 , wherein the annular corpus is composed of metal or plastic.

6. The extractor tool according to claim 1 , wherein the extractor tool has at east two gripping elements, on each of which at least one magnet is arranged, and the at least two gripping elements are movable relative to one another, in order to enable the extractor tool to be non-positively connected to rings of differing diameter.

7. The extractor tool according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one magnet is connected to the annular corpus by screwed connection and/or adhesive bonding.

8. The extractor tool according to claim 1 , wherein the extractor tool does not have any means for positively connecting the extractor tool to the machine part to be extracted.

9. The extractor tool according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one magnet is a permanent magnet.

10. The extractor tool according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one magnet is an electromagnet.

11. The extractor tool according to claim 1 , wherein the machine part is a bearing ring.

12. The extractor tool according to claim 5 , wherein the annular corpus is composed of a fabric-base laminate.
