The SKF TWIM induction heater is a shop unit that warms bearings and fitting parts before they go onto a shaft. Heat is generated inside the part itself, so there is no open flame and nothing touches the workpiece, and the resulting expansion makes the fit easier to close. In maintenance work, how a bearing is mounted often decides how long it lasts, which is why this tool sits in the same category as presses and pullers.
Reading the code is the first step in selection. TWIM identifies the heater family, and the figure that comes after it tells you the capacity class of the unit. A suffix such as -BAG signals that an accessory kit or bag of components travels with the heater, for example TWIM 15-BAG. Match that code against the bore, outside diameter and weight of the part you intend to heat, plus the interference of the fit and the mounting temperature the bearing maker recommends.
You will find these units in production plants, maintenance shops and rotating equipment repair operations, including food, chemical, cement, steel and mining sites where large bearings go on with an interference fit. Bushings, lock nuts, pulleys and similar parts that need to grow before they seat in a housing are also heated this way, which removes the need for hammering or a hydraulic press.
Control is the practical advantage. Because the part heats evenly and the temperature can be watched, there is less risk of the steel's heat treatment being altered by overheating. Once the part has cooled and settled, verify alignment and clearance, apply lubricant where the application calls for it, and follow the unit's own instructions for safe operation.
Heaters from different makers do the same job, but their accessories and control electronics are not interchangeable. When you compare models, look at heating capacity, temperature range and the controls on offer. Send the complete code and the dimensions of your part, and we can help you confirm a model or an equivalent.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the -BAG suffix tell me in a TWIM code?
- It means the heater ships with an accessory kit or bag of components for different jobs. The exact contents can differ by configuration, so confirm it with us using the complete code.
- How do I pick the right SKF TWIM model?
- Start with the outside diameter and weight of the part, the type of fit and the mounting temperature recommended by the bearing manufacturer. The number in the TWIM code reflects capacity. Send us those figures and we will help you narrow it down.
- Why use induction instead of an oven or oil bath?
- Induction expands the part in a controlled manner with no flame and no direct contact, and it limits the risk of overheating that can affect heat treatment. Ovens and oil baths give you less control over temperature. The right method depends on the part and its size.
