MS14101/3-6 Slim Line Tool
The most common bearings in the aerospace industry are the MS14101-6 and MS14103-6. They carry the same 3/8ths inner diameter bore which is also a very common bolt size in all aircrafts. These bearings are found most frequently in landing gears and control systems and would require every MRO team to be outfitted with the tools for both bearings. Due to our extensive end-user knowledge and expertise, we have intimate knowledge of these bearings. We know that both the MS14101-6 and MS14103-6 bearings sport the same pitch and staking centerline. This means with the right designed tool, you can perform any bearing staking operation with a tool that services both bearings.
Our most impressive feat is our Slim Line Portable Roller Swaging Tool. It’s superior to other bearing staking options for three reasons: its slim diameter, its compact length, and its ability to be customized. First, its outer diameter is significantly smaller than anything else on the market today. It leverages a slim diameter in order to swage in limited clearance situations while not negotiating on swaging power. Second, the length of our Slim Line is under 2.5 inches, making it one of our smallest in-house manufactured tools to date. This smaller length allows an AOG team to be able to reach deep pockets, avoid anti-rotation tabs and lugs, and gain access in tight clearance situations. Lastly, our Slim Line products are custom tools. This enables technicians to either add slots to work around features or request a custom diameter. So, when you utilize one of our Slim Line Portable Roller Swaging tools to swage both bearings, you’re reducing foreign objects and debris.
Our Standard Portable Roller Swaging Tool, Standard Portable Cutting Tool, and Standard Portable Install, Proof-Load and Removal Tool help you reduce cost by crossing over both bearings. The Standard Portable Roller Swaging Tool takes seconds to perform a swage and therefore saves time. Our Standard Portable Cutting Tool performs with a provided socket wrench and can be sent back for our quality regrind service. The Standard Portable Install, Proof-Load and Removal tool is a unique three-in-one solution that is unlike anything our competitors offer.
