Introduction; Application; Application Areas; Principles Of Operation - BEGA Cone Heater CHu Mode D'emploi

2. Introduction

2.1 Application

Betex cone heaters are intended for heating bearings and gears, enabling easy mounting by means
of shrinkage fitting. Provided they are assessed professionally, they can also be used to heat
bushings, cogwheels, couplings and other small round metal objects.
The Betex cone heater is not meant for continuous use.
CAUTION REQUIRED:

Bearings should not be heated to more than 120ºC / 250°F

Precision bearings should not be heated to more than 70ºC / 150°F. Higher temperatures can
affect the metallurgic structure, causing instability and breakdown

Do not use the heater for bearings or workpieces that are outside the scope of the minimum or
maximum dimensions as indicated in the technical data (chapter 9).

2.2 Application areas

Only use in an industrial environment, in the following conditions:

an ambient temperature from 0 to 40ºC / 32°-104°F

an atmospheric humidity from 5 to 90%, non-condensing

2.3 Principles of operation

The Betex cone heater is a device that heats workpieces by means of heat transfer of the cone to
the workpiece.

3. Installation

 Remove the packaging and place the cone heater on a stable and level surface. Do not put on
a surface which may burn.
 Betex cone heaters come with a pair of heat-resistant gloves (suitable up to 150°C / 300°F).
Some models are also provided with a fixed connected thermostat.

Connect the heater to a supply network in accordance with the machine plate:
voltage : 120VAC +/- 10%
-
frequency : 50 – 60Hz
-
power : 725W
-
Connect to a power supply network fused with a minimum of 10A and a maximum of 16A.
A Betex cone heater is a class I device. Therefore, always use a grounded socket outlet.
 Ensure that the power supply cable cannot come into contact with the cone or the bearing to be
heated. Insert the plug into a grounded socket.
 Switch on the device by means of the main switch. The machine starts heating the cone.
Caution!: The cone becomes very hot now! Make sure the cone is not touched without
protective clothing. Without protected clothing keep a least 200mm / 8" distance from heater
surfaces.

Allow the cone to get warm for a short while. After a short while the cone heater is ready for use.
