Installing a bearing can sometimes involve a wealth of tools and a lot of physical force.
Through the use of our SKF electric hot plate, the sets of tools and force required can be heavily reduced. How is this possible?
Through heating the bearing up, the material can be manipulated in a way that enables the component to be installed with ease and efficiency.
(Be cautious to not heat the bearing above 125°C (257 °F) because the material may change metallurgically and produce alterations in diameter or hardness)
• Suitable for components with a bore of up to 100 mm/4 In
• Suitable for components that weigh up to k kg
• Has a maximum temperature of 200°C/390°F
• Equipped with a lid for retaining heat alongside preventing dirt from contaminating the bearing or component being heated
• Thermostatically controlled, enabling the operator to have full control over the heating of the components
• The hot plate is conveniently equipped with overheating protection, automatically switching off the power in case the thermostat ever failed
• The SKF Electric Hot Plate is supplied with a fitted Schuko (CEE 7/4) two-pin plug. If a UK BS 1363 electrical plug - or other mains electrical plug is required to be fitted, the Schuko plug fitted to the Hot Plate must be removed and the alternative plug fitted by a suitably-qualified person prior to use
