Induction shrink-fitting
Induction shrink-fitting is where we use thermal expansion to either fit or remove parts.
Introduction
Our systems are used in the automotive industry to shrink-fit gears and rings. They are also employed to repair planes, trains and trucks. Our systems are used for shrink-fitting tasks on offshore platforms and are increasingly used to remove the giant nuts and bolts in the turbines of power stations.
- Process controllability, consistency and speed
- Accurate heat reduces the risk of ovality and is energy efficient
- Precise control of ramp-up times and holding temperatures
Ventac air-cooled induction heating system is ideal for shrink-fitting applications.
