Part of the SKF TIH line, these induction heaters bring bearings and interference-fit components up to mounting temperature before they go onto the shaft. Because the heat comes from an induced current rather than a flame or an oil bath, the expansion happens evenly and under control, and the part can be seated without hammering or excess force. Maintenance departments that want the same result every time tend to keep one on hand.

Reading the code tells you what you are looking at. TIH is the SKF designation for this heater family. The figure that follows shows where the unit sits in the range, for example TIH 030M/230V or TIH 100M/230V. A single-phase supply is indicated by the letter M, while the closing figure states the operating voltage, as in /230V. Where the code ends in /V, the heater is built to run on more than one mains voltage.

Typical users are maintenance shops and process plants, including food, cement, paper and metalworking operations. The work covers bearings, couplings, pulleys, gears and any other part held by interference fit, both when mounting and when removing. Compared with improvised heating, an induction unit shortens the time a machine stays down and lowers the chance of harming the component.

When selecting a unit, look at the weight and dimensions of the parts you handle, the bore diameter of the bearing or component, and how often the heater will be used. The supply available in your plant matters too, along with whether you need to work from more than one voltage. In use, the goal is to control the temperature of the part, stay inside the material limits and let the expansion develop uniformly. Once it is hot, the part goes on quickly and without impact, with gloves and protective equipment.

Induction heating does not remove the need for later care. The part still goes on clean, with the specified lubricant and with seals in good condition. Check alignment after mounting, once the part is in place and back at room temperature. For components with polymer cages or rubber seals, check the manufacturer's recommendations before applying heat, since temperature tolerance is not the same for every part.

Comparable units from other makers work on the same principle and can be weighed against the SKF TIH range. They do not swap automatically, because power, the range of parts covered, accessories and available voltages differ from one to another. If you have the code of the part or of the unit being replaced, send it over and we will quote the matching option.
