Simatherm Bearing Heaters

What can you heat with Simatherm Bearing Heaters?

Simatherm Bearing Heaters are suitable for heating a wide range of ferromagnetic components, including:

• Rolling bearings (deep groove, spherical, cylindrical, taper, etc.)
• Bearing inner rings and sleeves
• Steel bushings and other ring‑shaped components

Each model has defined limits for maximum weight, bore diameter and outside diameter. These limits make it easier to select the right heater for your typical bearing sizes.

Why choose Simatherm Bearing Heaters?

Key benefits

Fast, even heating of bearings

Simatherm Bearing Heaters use induction to heat the bearing quickly and uniformly, helping to avoid hot spots, thermal shock and steel damage.

Protect bearing life and performance

Integrated temperature control and demagnetisation functions help protect the bearing’s microstructure and reduce the risk of residual magnetism.

Lower mounting force

By expanding the inner ring, the bearing can be slid into position with minimal mechanical force, reducing the risk of brinelling, misalignment and shaft damage.

 

Safer than flames or oil baths

Simatherm Bearing Heaters eliminate the need for gas torches, ovens and oil baths, improving safety, cleanliness and ergonomics in the workshop.

 

Energy‑efficient and repeatable

Targeted induction heating is more efficient than many traditional methods and provides consistent results from one bearing to the next.

 

Models for different bearing sizes

From compact portable units to larger workshop heaters, there is a Simatherm Bearing Heater to suit small motor bearings through to heavy industrial bearings.

Simatherm Bearing Heaters FAQs

How do Simatherm Bearing Heaters ensure safety?

Simatec bearing heaters are designed with several safety features:

• Automatic Stop: The heater stops automatically if heat is applied without setting the temperature sensor or in case of device failure
• Internal Circuit Breaker: Guards against electrical shorts

Can Simatherm Bearing Heaters be used for different types of bearings?

Yes, Simatec bearing heaters can heat both sealed and open type bearings

Why should I use a bearing heater instead of a gas flame or oil bath?

Using a dedicated bearing heater such as Simatherm offers several advantages over gas flames or oil baths:

• More accurate and even heating
• No open flames or hot oil, improving safety and cleanliness
• Reduced risk of overheating and damaging the bearing
• Faster, more energy‑efficient heat‑up times

Simatherm Bearing Heaters are designed specifically with bearing materials and geometry in mind, helping you protect the component and the machine.
