Abstract:
1. A tool for installing a rolling element into, and removing the rolling element out of, a rolling-element bearing cage, the tool comprising: a gripping element including a clampable jaw disposed on a base, the clampable jaw comprising at least two interacting parts disposed on opposing end sides of the base such that contact therebetween is prevented, the gripping element being configured such that the at least two interacting parts can be aligned parallel relative to each other when engaging an object therebetween, one of the at least two interacting parts being non-movably fixed to the base such that a remainder of the at least two interacting parts can be moved independently therefrom, at least one first screw extending through said a remainder of the at least two interacting parts and screwed into a first threaded bore defined in the base connecting said a remainder of the at least two interacting parts to the base, the at least one first screw being configured to tighten the at least two interacting parts of the jaw to clamp them together, a rod attached to the base at a first end thereof and having a longitudinal axis, an impact weight coupled to the rod and being displaceable along the longitudinal axis of the rod, and a stop fixedly disposed on the rod at a location spaced from the gripping element, the stop being configured to be struck by the impact weight.
