Over 90% of rotating equipment failure at startup is directly related to poor bearing installation practices. Make this task quick, clean, easy and correct by using a bearing heater with precise temperature control and automatic demagnetizing. Our bearing heaters can help eliminate induced bearing defects due to poor fitting and improper mounting techniques. Also shrink fit couplings, rings, sprockets and pulleys without inducing uneven loading or stress.

It is difficult to determine how long it takes to heat gears, impellers, couplings, bearings and other workpieces from ambient to the target temperature for proper shrink fitting. Theoretical calculations are not always reliable, since so many factors such as ID, OD, width, material, configuration of workpiece and weight come into play. We offer you the services of our bearing heater lab to conduct tests on your samples. This will guarantee that you can duplicate achieved and documented results in your facilities with the recommended heater and selected crossbars.
