Bearing heaters

SKF induction heaters for hot mounting of bearings: from a few kilograms up to several tonnes.

A heated bearing expands and slides onto the shaft without force. That is faster and safer than pressing, and prevents damage to bearing and shaft. SKF induction heaters heat in a controlled way to the set temperature, and then automatically demagnetise the bearing.

From the hot plate for series of small bearings to the custom TIH MC for slewing rings of several tonnes. Compare the models below, or ask us for advice.
