'Bushout'
Advantages
The need to remove liners etc. for inspection or replacement purposes
invariably results in five high cost and resource consuming conditions
ALL of which can be eliminated or greatly reduced using the portable
'Bushout' Kit.
1. Manpower saving through operator safety
There is no mis-hitting punches or drifts, no splintering of shafts,
no smashed fingers or limbs. There is nothing which requires to
be hit.
2. Downtime saving through less out of service time
The equipment is fully portable and can be used equally well in the
hangar, on the pan or in the workshop. Those bearings and liners
which, until now, had to be cut out can now be pulled by a fitter,
opening up the possibility of re-fitting either the same component
(if it is within service limits) or a pre-machined item.
3. Replacement saving through component life extension
Zero damage from extraction
removes the need for damage repair. There may be corrosion which has to be worked
on and sometimes the only satisfactory method is by machining.
It is this process which removes structural integrity and eventually
scraps the component. Regular inspection and early corrective and
protection action can preclude a major machining need.
4. Capacity saving through machine utilization
Avoiding the need to remove liners by machining releases capacity
for more necessary and productive machining operations. Effectively, the machine
occupation time is cut by almost half and more when housing repair
is not required. Typically, a 747 nose axle will occupy a horizontal
borer for perhaps a day, having the axle liner removed. Using the
'Bushout Kit', both axle liners can be removed within 10 minutes.
5. Space saving through taking less floor space
The ability for one man to 'take the press to the job' can save the
need to marshall components around the workshop. Ideally, the 'Bushout
Kit' will be in the strip down area so that all cleaning can be
completed at the same time.
