TIH L44/MV SKF induction heater

SKF TIH L44/MV Induction Heater

The SKF TIH L44/MV is a professional industrial-grade heating device utilizing advanced electromagnetic induction technology. It is designed for precise, non-contact heating of large metal components such as bearings, bushings, rings, and pulleys. By providing uniform heat distribution, the device eliminates thermal stresses and facilitates the mounting of interference-fit components without the risk of mechanical damage.

Application

• Heating heavy metal components (bearings, bushings, hubs) weighing up to 1200 kg prior to mounting.
• Preparing large-scale components during service and overhaul processes.
• Maintenance operations in heavy industry, power generation, and railway sectors.
• Technical operations requiring strict digital temperature control.
• A safe alternative to oil baths and open flames in industrial environments.

Technical Specification

• Model: TIH L44/MV
• Manufacturer: SKF
• Device Type: High-power industrial induction heater (Large Series)
• Maximum Workpiece Weight: Up to 1200 kg (2600 lb)
• m20 Performance: Heats a 450 kg bearing in 20 minutes
• Power Supply: Multi-Voltage (MV) — 200V to 460V, 50/60Hz
