SKF Portable Induction heater Series: TWIM

The portable induction heater TWIM 15 is designed to heat up roller bearings that are mounted with an interference fit onto a shaft. Heating the bearing causes it to expand, which eliminates the need to use force during installation. Generally, using the TWIM 15 to generate a 90 °C (162 °F) temperature difference between the bearing and shaft is sufficient to enable installation. In addition, the TWIM 15 can be used to heat other ring-shaped, metallic components, providing flexibility of use.

TWIM 15 advantages:

• Innovative heating of bearings
• Portable, compact and lightweight
• No support yokes required
• Automatic temperature monitoring
• Detects bearing size and heats appropriately
• Two power levels and three power configurations
• User-friendly LED control panel
