How TORCiT works
TORCiT is an innovative battery-powered hydraulic tool for pressing bearings faster without a hammer. With modular press ring adapters, it ensures safe and precise positioning for deep groove ball bearings, gears or roller bearings, reducing assembly errors during press fitting significantly.

Our story
TORCiT was built to eliminate challenges that we were too familiar with: High-effort hammering, noise pollution in manufacturing halls and quality issues with assembled parts that go along with manual bearing pressing. TORCiT is the solution.
TORCiT has been developed for companies and operators searching for an ergonomic portable bearing installation tool. Our approach is easy: Production workers get a portable tool kit that allows fast and precise press using a variety of press rings for various components.
TORCiT is the only battery-powered hydraulic tool on the market that allows for safe and precise press-fitting of various parts.
Test it, and you’ll never want to go back.
Why the Name?
Right from the start, we knew that our press-fitting tool needed a short, catchy name that is easy to remember and reflects the tool’s function.
That is why the name TORCiT is as compact and simple as the tool case itself: Torcular stands for press fitting, Kit stands for tool set. Together, they become TORCiT.

- If you want to reduce ergonomic strain on employees and are looking for an alternative to hammering bearings and components.
- If you want to improve workplace safety and prevent assembly errors through controlled processes.
- If you want to reduce cycle time in bearing assembly.
- If you want to improve your assembly quality or resolve existing quality issues during joining by achieving reproducible results and reducing the risk of component damage.
- Using TORCiT is particularly worthwhile for volumes of approximately 1 to 250 joining operations per day.
What force does TORCiT apply?
What is TORCiT’s stroke?
- The TORCiT tool reaches up to 90 mm stroke (3-step bayonet adjustment) with the 35 mm sleeve.
- The TORCiT tool reaches up to 100 mm stroke (3-step bayonet adjustment) with the 55 mm sleeve.
Which bearing diameters does TORCiT cover?
- The 35 mm sleeve covers bearings with a diameter of Ø 25 mm – 55 mm.
- The 55 mm sleeve covers bearings with a diameter of Ø 45 mm – 120 mm.
