4. 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 in steps
of 20% for slower heating of sensitive workpieces (for example, bearings
with C1 or C2 clearance).
4.1 Components
EDDYTHERM 2x induction heater comprises a U-shaped iron core with
an inductive coil surrounding one of the vertical supports. 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 top yoke of EDDYTHERM 2x is mounted on a swivel. To
accommodate smaller workpieces, two smaller yokes are also provided. A
temperature probe is also included with the heater. Heat-resistant gloves
are also included.
