The Compressing Tube is used during the service of countershaft transmissions to disassemble and assemble clutches in a controlled and efficient manner. The tubes provide a simple and effective way to compress the clutch spring, allowing the retaining ring to be removed and installed without strain. Compression force is created through a threaded rod that extends through the tube and into the clutch shaft, ensuring steady and accurate spring control. Large access windows in the tube allow clear working space to reach and handle the retaining ring during service.Attributes:• Allow safe removal of retaining rings from clutch assemblies.• Support accurate installation of retaining rings during reassembly.• Provide steady compression force through threaded rod action. Applications: The Compressing Tube is located over clutch assemblies in countershaft transmissions, where they compress clutch springs, allowing retaining rings to be removed or installed accurately during clutch disassembly and assembly procedures.
