The SKF TWIM induction heater uses an alternating magnetic field to warm bearings and interference-fit components without direct contact or open flame. This controlled heating expands the part for easier mounting on a shaft, reducing the need for force and protecting raceways from damage. It is a dependable tool for maintenance teams that require repeatable, precise heating in industrial settings.

The TWIM model number includes a size indicator and a voltage suffix. For example, TWIM 15/230V: the 15 denotes the heater's capacity within the series, while 230V specifies the operating voltage. Other models may differ in power or acceptable part sizes. Always check the full designation on the unit's nameplate before ordering, and provide it exactly when requesting a quote.

These heaters are suited for expanding bearings, bushings, pulleys, gears, and other parts with an interference fit. They are commonly used in maintenance shops, food processing plants, cement facilities, steel mills, and rotating equipment repair services. They are also preferred where open flames are prohibited or where uniform, controlled heating is essential.

When selecting a unit, consider the diameter and weight of the part to be heated, the type of fit, and the required mounting temperature. Induction heating allows precise temperature control, preventing overheating that could alter the steel's heat treatment. During mounting, verify alignment and clearance after cooling, and apply lubrication as needed. Always follow the manufacturer's safety guidelines.

Induction heaters from different brands are not directly interchangeable, as they vary in power, working range, and accessories. If you need to replace a unit, compare specifications carefully. We can help you evaluate options based on the part number and intended use, ensuring mounting quality is not compromised.
