A light and compact solution for bearing heating
The TMBH 5 portable induction heater is used to heat and mount roller bearings onto a shaft with an interference fit. It is versatile enough to be used in a range of situations – including at a work bench, on the factory floor or out in the field. Typical applications include maintenance and service jobs on assets such as gearboxes, pumps, fans and blowers.
The device features near-silent performance and weighs only 3 kg, thanks mainly to the use of sophisticated medium-frequency technology. It features an induction clamp containing internal coils. Current in the coils generates a fluctuating magnetic field. This induces currents in the component, producing heat. Because this heat is generated within the component, not the clamp, the process is very efficient.
The heater generates a temperature difference between bearing and shaft. This causes the bearing to expand, so that no force is needed during installation. It can also heat other ring-shaped, metallic components.
The unit’s intuitive interface allows the user to select either Temperature Mode or Time Mode. An LED indicator shows when the TMBH 5 is in operation – as it hardly makes any noise.
