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 100m 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 eficiency, 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 inductive coil, the
TIH 100m induction heater is itted with folding bearing supports.
See the illustrations at the beginning of this manual.
• Swivel yoke
To facilitate the handling of the yoke while placing the bearing around the
inductive coil or around the top yoke, the TIH 100m is itted with a swivel arm for
the large yoke.
• Yoke storage
All three yokes can be stored inside the heater. The two yoke storages are
located behind the folding bearing supports. The small and medium yokes are stored
together in one yoke storage. The large yoke is stored alone in the other yoke
storage. 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 100m induction heater contains a U-shaped iron core with an inductive 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 three yokes can swivel around its vertical post. To
accommodate smaller workpieces, two smaller yokes are also provided.
A temperature probe is included with the heater. Heat-resistant gloves are also included.
