How are induction heating coils designed?

What is an induction heater?

  • An induction heater is a key piece of equipment used in all forms of induction heating. Typically an induction heater operates at either medium frequency (MF) or radio frequency (RF) ranges.

How do I Choose an induction heater for bearing heating applications?

  • The comprehensive range of SKF induction heaters is suitable for most bearing heating applications. The selection chart below gives general information on choosing an induction heater for bearing heating applications. For heating components other than bearings, SKF recommends the use of a TIH L MB series heater.

Why don't things heat up with induction heating?

  • Things that have a high resistance and low magnetic permeability, like a human finger, will not be heated at all by an induction heater. The resistance of the material is also very important. If you have a higher resistance in the target metal, then less current will flow, so the power converted to heat gets exponentially smaller.
