The oil injection method is not only used for tapered contacts but can also be u
sed for dismounting cylindrical contacts. Cylindrical joints are normally assemb
led by heating the outer component and placing on the inner component. Once the
outer component has cooled, then a strong fit can result. <br>
<br>
When the inner ring (figure 1) is dismounted, using the oil injection method, it
must be withdrawn at a certain speed to help ensure that the oil pressure is ma
intained, even after the oil groove has been exposed. Otherwise there is a risk
that the inner ring will stick. When withdrawal is correctly carried out there i
s no problem, but it is also possible to use an O-ring (figure 2) as a safeguard
. When oil is injected, as indicated in the figure, the pressure can be kept up
until the inner ring comes free after having passed the oil groove.<br />
