The comprehensive SKF heater range can be used for mounting or dismounting by efficiently heating bearings and work pieces, both large and small.

The SKF TIH L series heaters are designed for induction heating of large size rolling bearings. With advanced power electronics and an effective dual coil design, the TIH L series can heat large bearings weighing up to 1 200 kg (2 600 lb), using just 20 kVA of electrical power. This represents a power saving of almost 50% compared to similar induction heaters and highlights how SKF Induction Heaters are simultaneously powerful and efficient. Unusually for a bearing heater for large bearings, the TIH L series can be supplied in medium and low voltage versions.

• Advanced power electronics, with accurate electric current control, help control the temperature rate increase.
• Using just 20 kVA of electrical power, the TIH L series can heat large bearings weighing up to 1 200 kg (2 600 lb).
• Automatic demagnetisation reduces the risk of ferrous debris contamination after heating.
• Thermal overheating protection reduces the risk of damage to the induction coil and the electronics, enhancing reliability and safety.
• Available with three different operating areas.
• Available in three voltage variants to suit most operating voltages worldwide.
• Bearings can be heated vertically or horizontally.

The adjustable induction heaters EAZ 80/130 and EAZ 130/170 are used for frequent dismounting of cylindrical bearing inner rings. Where inner rings are removed infrequently, aluminium heating rings, TMBR series, are also available. For larger cylindrical inner rings normally found in steel mill applications, SKF can supply special EAZ induction heaters.

• Covers most cylindrical bearings 65 to 130 mm (2.5 to 5.1 in.) bore diameter
• Wide range of power supplies
• Avoids shaft and bearing inner ring damage
• Fast and reliable bearing removal
• Up to n6 interference fit

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)

For more information on the suitability of SKF TIH MC series heaters for your application or for a quotation, contact you local authorised SKF distributor or SKF office.

Their innovative design offers significant advantages to both owners and operators:

• Advanced power electronics, with accurate electric current control, help control the temperature rate increase
• Two step power setting option (50% / 100%), enables small bearings to be heated safely and at a lower power consumption
• For heating components other than bearings, all heaters are equipped with a heating time mode and for large components, optimized TIH MB heaters for solid workpieces are available
• Thermal overheating protection reduces the risk of damage to the induction coil and the electronics, enhancing reliability and safety
• Automatic demagnetisation reduces the risk of ferrous debris contamination after heating
• Available in different voltage variants, to suit most operating voltages worldwide
• Supplied with heat-resistant gloves for improved operator safety
