Distinguishing feature
The distinguishing feature of the IH 070/090 induction heater is the location
of the workpiece at the same position on the core as the inductive coil. This
design improves efficiency, resulting in less power consumption and faster
heating, which reduces the cost to heat each bearing.

Description
The operation of the heater is controlled by the internal electronics in either
of two modes. The operator can either select the desired temperature of the
bearing in TEMP MODE or set the length of time that the bearing will be
heated in TIME MODE. The power level can be adjusted in steps of 20% for
slower heating of sensitive workpieces (for example, bearings with C1 or C2
clearance).

Components
The IH 070/090 induction heater contains a U-shaped iron core with an
inductive coil surrounding one of the vertical supports. Internal electronics
control the operation of the heater. A removable yoke on the top of the verti-
cal supports allows the workpiece to be placed onto the heater. The top yoke
of the IH 090 is mounted on a swivel. To accommodate smaller workpieces,
two smaller yokes are also provided. A temperature probe is also included
with the heater. Heat-resistant gloves are also included.
