SKF Bearing Heater Supplier in Navi Mumbai
Ensuring smooth operation is crucial for maintaining machinery in optimal condition. Bearings, the unsung heroes that keep everything running, are also very important. Yet occasionally, new bearings must be purchased. SKF Bearing Heater Supplier in Navi Mumbai provides a secure and effective solution for both installation and removal in this situation.
Different Types of Heaters:
Induction-bearing heaters, hot plates, and cone-style bearing heaters are the three most common types.
Induction-bearing heaters are equipped with a yoke that runs through the bearing bore. During heating, an electrical current is used to heat the yoke on which the bearing inner ring is supported. These heaters provide maximum control over the heating process by automatically regulating the most efficient use of power to provide balanced and fast heating. The iHeat Series induction-bearing heaters provide more control and precision heating due to two temperature probes that measure both inner and outer ring temperatures. Furthermore, your data can be collected and downloaded to a USB flash drive for easier reporting.
The hot plate-bearing heater has a flat heating surface on which bearings are placed once the plate reaches the desired temperature. The hot plate heater is typically used to heat smaller bearings and associated components.
Finally, cone-style bearing heaters have a cone-shaped heating unit that can fit a wide range of bearing sizes. In this solution, heat is transferred from the bearing’s cone to its inner ring.
Features:
- With time-controlled heating or automated temperature control, it’s simple to use and safe.
- Bearing contamination is less likely when demagnetization is done automatically.
- Appropriate for workpieces up to 20 kg in weight in non-bearing situations.
- After the heating cycle is over, an automatic temperature hold function keeps the bearing heated.

Tools and accessories for bearing heaters:
The Mounting Tool Kit is a useful mechanical mounting set for safe, precise, and quick installation of bearings, bushings, sealing rings, cam wheels, and pulleys with bore diameters ranging from 10mm to 60mm. This kit includes a dead-blow hammer, aluminum sleeves, and plastic collets ideal for avoiding metal-to-metal contact.
Bearing pullers make removing a wide range of components simple and safe, including bearings, bushings, wheels, gears, and pulleys. Before driving the part off the shaft, the puller uses specially designed jaws to grip it. There are various bearing pullers, but mechanical (or standard) jaw pullers are the most user-friendly and safe tools available. Using a puller helps to ensure that the bearing and other components are not damaged during the dismounting process.
Heat protective gloves are required for the safe handling of bearings both before and after they have been used on a bearing heater, because the bearing will be at a significantly higher temperature when it is ready for removal. Gloves can help protect the bearing from burns, scratches, and other damage.
When should you use a bearing heater?
With the controlled heating method provided by induction heaters, users can precisely determine the temperature needed to mount the bearing, avoiding the risk of heating the bearings unevenly and causing irreversible damage. Additionally, open flames and oil baths are eliminated as alternative heating techniques, increasing user safety.

Although induction bearing heaters are frequently used to mount a wide range of bearings, they are not always the best option for all bearings. It is acceptable to use a cold mounting method for a bearing that, for instance, has an outer diameter of no more than 100mm. Depending on the materials (such as nonmetallic compounds) used in the bearing, additional limitations could apply.
What temperature should you use to heat your bearing?
In general, a bearing should be heated to 80-90°C above the temperature of the shaft it is mounted on. This allows the bearing to slide easily onto the shaft and as the temperature drops, a strong shrink connection forms between the shaft and the bearing. However, you should never heat a bearing above 125°C because doing so can harm the bearing.
Furthermore, if your bearing contains any nonmetallic components, such as polyamide cages or rubber seals, heating above 120°C is not recommended. Solid oil bearings should never be heated above 80°C. Before heating your bearings, always double-check the manufacturer’s specifications.
