The SKF TIH CB induction heater is a factory-assembled unit that uses induction to expand bearings and other fitted parts before mounting. It eliminates open flame and direct contact, allowing the part to be installed with the required clearance without hammering. This heater is found in industrial maintenance and in the repair of electric motors, pumps, gearboxes, and rotating equipment. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and can help you select the model that matches the size of the parts you mount.

The TIH CB series code breaks down into distinct blocks: TIH denotes the SKF induction heater family, CB identifies this particular variant, and the number that follows indicates the size or capacity of the unit. The suffix A refers to the model version. That is why part numbers such as TIH CB10A and TIH CB16A share the same base but differ in that number. When choosing, compare the diameter range of your parts with the capacity of each unit.

These heaters are used in maintenance workshops and production plants where bearings, bushings, gears, or pulleys are mounted with an interference fit. They are common in food processing, cement, paper, steel, and oil and gas operations. Shops that repair electric motors, centrifugal pumps, and gearboxes also rely on them because they heat parts in a controlled, repeatable way without a furnace or open flame.

Selection depends on the outside diameter and weight of the part, the type of fit, and the temperature required for mounting. Induction heats the part quickly and evenly; still, use the unit's sensors to control temperature and stay within the limit the bearing allows. Before mounting, verify the cleanliness of the seat, the alignment, and the lubrication. Follow the manufacturer's procedure to prevent overheating that could affect the steel's heat treatment.

Induction heaters from different brands can serve the same purpose, but capacity, temperature range, and accessories vary. Do not swap one model for another based only on diameter: also compare the maximum weight of the part and the type of control. If you are unsure, send us the part number of the part you are mounting and that of the unit you are considering, and we will help you define the right option within the SKF line.
