Bearings of small size need preheating before mounting. The thermostat-controlled SKF Electric hot plate 729659 C professional heater has been developed primarily for solving this problem. By simply turning the knob, it is possible to adjust the plate's temperature within a range of 50 and 200 °C (120 and 390 °F).
To prevent any contamination while heating, a protective cover is included. The plate's dimensions are (lxw) 378 x 178 mm (14.8 x 7 in.).
