Safety Recommendations
1 Introduction
The IHN010 induction heater is designed for heating rolling bearings and other ferritic, circular workpieces� The heat causes
the workpiece to expand, which eliminates the need to use force during installation� A 90°C (194°F) temperature difference
between the bearing and shaft is sufficient to enable easy installation� At an ambient temperature of 20°C (68°F), the bearing
must therefore be heated to 110°C (230°F)�
1.1 Intended Use
The IHN010 portable induction heater has been designed to heat rolling bearings� Examples of acceptable workpieces include
bushings, shrink rings, pulleys, rings, etc� The IHN010 portable induction heater is primarily intended for on-site repairs and
rolling bearing replacements by service and maintenance staff�
