Proper bearing installation is essential to safeguard maximum bearing life. Maintenance experts estimate that 27% of bearing failures can be attributed to improper installation and mounting errors. A bearing that is only a few thousandths of an inch out of alignment can have its lifespan cut in half. By heating the inner race to ~250 F prior to installation, the user allows the bearing to expand and slide easily onto the shaft. Magnetic induction is a safe and efficient method of generating heat to expand bearings for installation. No open flame or hot oil to worry about. Magnetic induction heats bearings evenly & quicker than hot plates.

• Reco Induction bearing heater extends bearing life and cuts operating cost by eliminating hammering and pounding to cold-mount bearings
• Works on bearings, sprockets, gears, couplings, sleeves
• Reduces risk to operator from flames, torches or oil baths
• Also demagnetizes bearings - easy to use, ready in minutes
• Bearing capacity: 4-3/8" x 11: O.D. (14" OD with optional raising blocks)
• Computer chip monitors and stabilizes the temperature
• Display panel (pre-set times, temperatures) and auto shut off
