Accessories for SKF TIH heater: TIH P20 probe, TIH RC remote control and spare parts

The SKF TIH induction heater is a mounting tool that heats bearings and other metal parts to expand them and make them easier to fit on the shaft. For the cycle to be safe and repeatable, the equipment works with accessories that measure temperature, allow remote operation and close the magnetic circuit. These components wear with use and sometimes need to be replaced. That is why it is worth knowing them and knowing how to order them when they fail.

The most sought-after spare parts are the TIH P20 temperature probe and the TIH RC remote control. The yokes are also requested; these are the bars that pass through the bore of the part to close the magnetic field. Each accessory has a specific function and its poor condition can affect heating or operator safety. Identifying them correctly is the first step for a correct replacement.

In this guide we review what each accessory does, what care is advisable and what data to send to get a quote. We supply these spare parts and help you find the one that corresponds to your heater. If you have doubts, write to us with the equipment model and a photo of the label.

The TIH P20 probe is the accessory that tells the heater the actual temperature of the bearing during the cycle. It has a magnetic tip that rests on the inner ring, near the bore, and a coiled cable that ends in a plug to connect it to the equipment. With the probe in place, the heater cuts the cycle when the part reaches the set temperature. This prevents overheating and makes mounting safer.

If the probe is damaged, the heater can only work by time, which is less precise and can damage the bearing. Signs of wear are a cut or stripped cable, a tip that does not hold on the ring or erratic temperature readings. In those cases it should be replaced.

To order the TIH P20 probe, it is enough to indicate that code. We still recommend sending the full heater model, because there are variants in the TIH series. With that data we quote the spare part and confirm compatibility.

The TIH RC remote control is the panel that allows the heater to be operated remotely. It includes the display and keys to set the temperature or time, and connects to the equipment via a cable. With the control in hand, the operator can start or stop the cycle without approaching the hot part. This reduces the risk of burns and makes work more comfortable.

This component suffers wear on the buttons and cable, especially in workshops with intensive use. If the display does not turn on, the keys do not respond or the cable is damaged, it probably needs to be replaced. The remote control is a spare part ordered by its TIH RC code, but it is always advisable to verify the heater model.

When you write to get a quote, tell us what heater you have and what fault the control shows. That way we can tell you whether the TIH RC or another component is the right one. We distribute original spare parts and guide you in the choice.

In addition to the probe and remote control, the TIH heater uses yokes, which are the bars inserted through the bearing bore to close the magnetic circuit. Yokes come in several sections to adapt to different bore diameters. Their contact faces must be clean and in good condition for the circuit to close properly, and a damaged yoke is replaced. Yokes are ordered by indicating the heater model and the bearing bore diameter.

There are other spare parts in the series, such as TIH T1, TIH CP, TIH CB10A and TIH CB16A. Each one is identified with the heater model and its specific function. If you have doubts about which one corresponds, send us a photo of the equipment label and we will indicate the right spare part. You do not need to know the technical name of each part.

To avoid errors, never order a spare part based only on a generic description. It is always advisable to have the full heater model at hand, for example TIH 030M/230V, TIH 100M/230V or TIH 220M/LV. With that data and a photo of the damaged part, we quote the correct spare part.

Before ordering an accessory for the TIH heater, it is essential to identify the exact model of the equipment. That data is on the label on the heater, usually on the back or side. The model includes letters and numbers that indicate the series and the supply voltage. For example, in TIH 030M/230V the last part of the code is the voltage variant.

With the heater model, you can look up the spare part in the manual or ask us directly. We will tell you whether the TIH P20 probe, the TIH RC control or another component is compatible with your equipment. Not all spare parts work for all models. That is why we always ask for the full model and, if possible, a photo of the label.

If the spare part you need does not appear in this note, write to us anyway. We supply accessories and spare parts for TIH heaters and we quote the one you are missing. Write to us with the equipment data and we will quote you promptly.

The TIH P20 probe and the TIH RC control are delicate components that require careful handling. Never pull the cable to disconnect them: always hold the plug or connector. Avoid resting the magnetic tip of the probe on surfaces with grease or dirt, because that affects the temperature reading. After each use, store the probe and control in their place, away from heat sources.

During heating, use gloves to handle the bearing and the yoke. Most mountings are done at about 110 °C, a temperature that can cause serious burns. Do not use flame or a torch to heat bearings: the induction heater is the safe and controlled method. If the probe or control is damaged, replace them before continuing to use the equipment.

Good maintenance of the accessories extends the life of the heater and prevents unexpected downtime. Periodically check the condition of the probe cable and the remote control. If you notice cuts, stripped insulation or loose connections, order the corresponding spare part. That way you maintain safety and mounting precision.

To get a quote for an accessory or spare part for your TIH heater, write to us by WhatsApp or email with the following data: the spare part code (for example TIH P20 or TIH RC), the full heater model and its supply voltage. A photo of the equipment label and of the damaged part also helps. With that information we will indicate the correct spare part and send you the quote.

If you do not know the exact code, no problem. Send us a photo of the part and the heater, and we will identify what you need. We work with original spare parts for SKF TIH heaters and advise you on the choice. We are in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Do not let a fault in the probe or control go unnoticed: a heater that works poorly can damage bearings or cause accidents. Order your spare part today and keep your equipment in condition. We will reply promptly with the proposal.
