The SKF Drive-up Method is a well-proven method, unique to SKF, of accurately achieving the adjustment of SKF spherical roller and CARB toroidal roller bearings mounted on tapered seatings. 

The method incorporates the use of an SKF HMV ..E hydraulic nut fitted with a dial indicator, and a high accuracy digital pressure gauge, mounted on the selected pump. The correct fit is achieved by controlling the axial drive-up of the bearing from a pre-determined starting position, defined by the pressure in the SKF HMV ..E hydraulic nut. The second stage is monitored by driving the bearing up a calculated distance on the taper seating. 

You can determine the staring position pressure and drive-up distance for most SKF bearings by using the SKF Drive-up Method PC program or iOS / Android apps. 

In addition, SKF’s unique information service for mounting and dismount bearings, skf.com/mount, also features the SKF Drive-up Method.
