SKF Maintenance products introduces its new medium size induction heater, the TIH 100m.The TIH 100m is an extremely efficient induction heater, with a high heating capacity suitable for heating bearings with a maximum weight of 120 kg (264.5 lb) and solid components with a maximum weight of 60 kg (132.2 lb).

The TIH 100m has a unique remote control with an integrated LED display and control panel, which allows the operator to keep a safe distance from hot work pieces. Maximum efficiency is achieved by placing the induction coil outside the heater's housing, right in the centre of the bearing, allowing for shorter heating time and lower energy consumption resulting in significant cost saving.

Supplied standard with three yokes, allowing bearings with a bore diameter from 20mm (0.78 in) up to a maximum weight of 120 kg (264 lb) to be heated. The larger yoke incorporates a "swivel arm", which makes it easier to load a bearing . In addition various protective features such as a pre-set temperature mode, temperature probe, 2-step power setting and automatic demagnetisation helps protect the unit and bearing.
