induction bearing heater TWIM 15/230V SKF

Induction heating of bearings using the SKF TWIM 15/230V is very straightforward. It is a flat induction plate used to heat bearings and other circular metal components. Its advantage is that it does not require a support core for heating, making it more versatile and cost-effective than other bearing heaters. Even greased and sealed bearings can be heated.

The induction heater is made from highly heat-resistant plastic and glass fibre, and features a user-friendly LED control panel, which requires no training to operate.

One of the main benefits of the induction bearing heater is the ability to control the temperature and heating time, allowing optimal conditions to be achieved for bearing expansion without the risk of overheating. This means that the heating process is not only efficient but also gentle on the bearings themselves, which extends their service life and improves the overall reliability of the equipment.

Another key feature of induction bearing heaters is heating speed. Thanks to the instantaneous transfer of heat via electromagnetic induction, there is no need to wait for the entire volume to heat up, as is the case, for example, with traditional heating methods. This means that the time required to heat the bearing is minimised, leading to more efficient work cycles and an overall increase in productivity.

Another important aspect of induction heaters is their safety. As the heat is generated directly inside the bearing, there is no need to use open-flame heating, which reduces the risk of fire and minimises the danger to operators.
