1.3 Distinguishing features
•
Remote control panel
To improve the ease of use and to help reduce the risk of contact with the hot
bearing during operation, the TIH 220m heater is supplied with a remote control
panel which can be detached from the heater.
•
Inductive coil
When heated the workpiece is located at the same position on the core as the
inductive coil. This design improves efficiency, resulting in less power consumption
and faster heating which reduces the cost to heat each bearing.
•
Folding bearing supports
To support large bearings positioned around the induction coil, the TIH 220m
induction heater is fitted with folding bearing supports. See the illustrations at the
beginning of this manual.
•
Sliding yoke
To facilitate the handling of the yoke while placing the bearing around the induction
coil or around the top yoke, the TIH 220m is fitted with a sliding arrangement for
the large yoke.
•
Yoke storage
The small yoke can be stored inside the heater. The yoke storage is located behind
the folding bearing supports. See the illustrations at the beginning of this manual.
2. Description
The operation of the heater is controlled by the internal electronics in either of two
modes. The operator can either select the desired temperature of the bearing in
TEMP MODE or set the length of time that the bearing will be heated in TIME MODE.
The power level can be adjusted to 100% or 50% for slower heating of sensitive
workpieces (for example, bearings with C1 or C2 clearance).
2.1 Components
The TIH 220m induction heater contains a U-shaped iron core with an induction coil
surrounding one of the vertical supports. A detachable remote control panel is included.
The remote control electronics and the internal electronics, control the operation of the
heater. A removable yoke on the top of the vertical supports, allows the workpiece to be
placed onto the heater. The largest of the two yokes can slide on its vertical post.
To accommodate smaller workpieces, a small yoke is also provided.
A temperature probe is included with the heater. Heat-resistant gloves are also included.
