Induction heater for Couplings Piston Plunger Connecting rod Motor end cap closure Flange etc
Adopting principle of electromagnetic, the Induction Heater can pre-heat metal components between 150 °C (302 °F) and 300 °C (572 °F) thereby causing them to expand and allow for the insertion or removal of another component. Typically the lower temperature range is used on metals such as aluminium and higher temperatures are used on metals such as low/medium carbon steels. The process avoids the changing of mechanical properties whilst allowing components to be worked.
Advantages of the Induction heater for Couplings Piston Plunger Connecting rod Motor end cap closure Flange etc
Process controllability - Unlike a traditional electric or gas furnace the induction system requires no pre-heat cycle or controlled shutdown. The heat is available on demand. In addition to the benefits of rapid availability in the event of a downstream interruption to production, the power can be switched off thus saving energy.
Energy efficiency - Due to the heat being generated within the component energy transfer is extremely efficient. The induction heater heats only the part not the atmosphere around it.
Process consistency - The induction heating process produces extremely uniform consistent heat this often allows less heat to be used for a given process.
No naked flame - This allows induction heating to be used in a wide variety of applications in volatile environments in particular in petrochemical applications.
Industries and applications
There are a huge number of industries and applications which benefit from induction shrink fitting or removal using the induction heaters.Such as:
Automotive starter rings onto flywheels
Timing gears to crankshafts
Motor stators into motor bodies
Motor shafts into stators
Removal and re-fitting of a gas turbine impeller
Removal and re-fitting of hollow bolts in electrical generators
Assembly of high precision roller bearings
Shrinkfitting of 2-stroke crankshafts for ship engines
