Abstract:

Apparatus includes a pilot stud and a ram. The pilot stud is aligned with an end of a shaft. A rotating member is adapted to receive axially inner and outer rolling bearings and be supported by the rolling bearings for rotation with respect to the shaft. The rotating member has a spacer for maintaining a desired separation between the rolling bearings. The rolling bearings and the rotating member are mounted on the pilot stud. The ram has an abutment member that is adapted to engage the outer rolling bearing. The ram is aligned with and moved toward the shaft. Movement of the ram toward the shaft causes the abutment member to move the outer rolling bearing against the spacer and onto the shaft. Also, this movement of the ram toward the shaft causes the spacer to move the inner rolling bearing onto the shaft. So, a single stroke of the ram mounts the rolling bearings and the rotating member onto the shaft.
