An SKF TIH P induction heater expands bearings and other fitting parts by electromagnetic induction before they go onto the shaft. Heating the part first lets it slide into place without hammering or force. This unit belongs to the mounting and maintenance tool range we supply.

Reading the code helps you identify the unit. TIH stands for the induction heater family, the letter P marks a variant within that family, and the trailing number, as in TIH P20, sets the model or capacity. The nameplate or the manual carries the full part number, and that is the reference to send us.

You will find these heaters in maintenance shops, industrial plants and repair operations for electric motors, pumps and gearboxes. Food processing, petrochemical, steel and transport facilities rely on them wherever bearings are an interference fit and a torch or an oven is not an option. Gears, pulleys and bushings that must be expanded before seating are also candidates.

Selection comes down to the bore and weight of the part, the fit, and how much heat the material tolerates. Induction heating acts quickly and locally, so temperature has to stay under control to protect the bearing's heat treatment. Respect the manufacturer's guidance on cycle times, sensors and gloves. A clean part and correct alignment during mounting prevent seat damage.

SKF TIH P units can stand in for induction equipment from other makers once dimensions and thermal capacity line up. Nomenclature differs from one manufacturer to the next, so there is no universal cross-reference. Replacing existing equipment? Send the old part number along with the dimensions of the parts you heat and we will point you to a suitable option from what we supply.

Have the part number of the heater, or of the part you plan to mount, ready? Send it over WhatsApp or by email. With that information we will quote the equipment or accessories you need, and we can also walk you through the correct use of the heater for your application.
