Bearing manufacturers recommend controlled induction heating as the best practice for bearing mounting.
Induction heating is a superior, fast and controlled heating method. It is a safe and environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional heating methods such as ovens, oil baths or blow torches. These methods generate smoke, fumes or oil waste and are hazardous for your personal safety and a healthy working environment. It is common knowledge that a correct mounting method extends the bearing life. Controlled stress-free heating prevents unnecessary damage, while retaining the original bearing lubrication. Ideal for sealed bearings (2RS-ZZ).
