Multi Core Induction Heaters

The patent pending, SKF Multi-core Induction Heaters TIH MC series are energy efficient custom-made heating solutions, that can save heating time and potentially reduce CO² emissions.

• Flexible design, consisting of a number of induction heating cores and coils controlled by a single control and power cabinet
• Suitable for heating large thin section workpieces, such as railway tyres
• Depending on workpiece, heating capacities of several tonnes can be realised
• For components sensitive to uneven induction heating, they allow for a more even temperature gradient across the whole circumference
• Ergonomically designed sliding yoke, for larger TIH MC series, reduces lifting time
• Remote control panel, detachable from the power cabinet, helps improve ease of use and user safety
• Temperature mode allows the desired heating temperature to be specified, helping prevent component overheating
• Time mode for heating components other than bearings, allows flexibility in application
• Automatic demagnetisation at the end of heating cycle helps reduce the risk of ferrous contamination of the bearing
• Unique design allows for custom-made solutions to be quickly and economically produced

The type of TIH MC series heater required depends on the application. Based on your application details, SKF can configure a solution to meet your needs. To select the right solution, we need application information such as:
Bearings to be heated:

• Bearing designation
• If new bearing: main dimension and weight (kg)
• Required temperature (˚C)
• Mounting frequency (once a day / week / month)

Heater data:

• Power supply available (V, A and Hz)
• Present or considered heating method (oven, oil bath, ...)

Workpiece other than bearing, e.g. housing, gear, bushing, etc.:

• Drawing of workpiece with dimensions (mm)
• Weight (kg)
• Material of workpiece (steel, cast iron, etc.)
• Required temperature (˚C)
• Mounting frequency (once a day / week / month)
