5. Method of operation

Betex cone heaters work by means of a heating element which heats an aluminium cone by
radiation from the inside out. Once this cone is hot, heat is directly transferred to a workpiece by
radiation and conduction.

6. The thermostat (type CHc)


Some cone heater models are equipped with a thermostat. If provided, this model has a
thermostat with a fixed connection to the heater.

The thermostat is set to a fixed temperature. It will switch off the heater at workpiece temperature
of 120°C (250°F) and will switch on the heater again at workpiece temperatures of approx.105°C
(220°F) and below.

Make sure that the thermostat and the workpiece are properly clean.

Always place the thermostat as close as possible to the bore, which is clean and free of grease.

Do not use the thermostat at temperatures of 130°C (265°F) and above. The probe will get
damaged.

Some bearings or workpieces may be too small for use with the thermostat. In those cases an
external thermometer can be used to check the temperature.

Do not put the thermostat directly on the cone of the heater.

Note: Cone heaters provided with a thermostat can operate fine without the thermostat being put
on the workpiece. Simply put the probe beside the heater and the cone heater will operate as the
standard heater without the probe.
