The SKF induction heater from the TWIM line is a factory-grade unit designed to expand bearings and fitted parts before mounting. It heats by induction, with no flame and no direct contact on the raceway, which reduces the risk of contamination and allows the part to be fitted with the required clearance. It is used in maintenance and equipment assembly where the fit is tight and hammering the part into place is not an option. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line as an official brand.

The designation of these heaters combines the letters TWIM with a number that indicates the size or capacity of the unit and a suffix that identifies the variant or configuration. In the case of TWIM 15-3, the first number is associated with the working range and the second with the model version. If you need that data, send us the exact part number and we will verify it with the manufacturer.

They are used in maintenance workshops, metallurgical, food, paper and general production plants, where bearings, bushings, pulleys or couplings must be mounted with interference fits. They are also used in electric motor, pump and gearbox repair services. In Argentina they are common in industries that work with rotating equipment and need to reduce downtime and prevent damage to the part caused by uneven heating.

To choose the right unit, take into account the size and weight of the part to be mounted, the bore diameter of the bearing or bushing and the type of fit. Induction heating must be controlled: excessive temperature alters the heat treatment of the steel. Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding maximum temperature and use insulating gloves to handle the hot part. Cleaning the seat beforehand and correct alignment are key to a proper mount.

SKF induction heaters are compatible with different brands of bearings and fitted parts, as long as the dimensions fall within the working range of the unit. There is no direct equivalence between models from different manufacturers: each one has its own power, control system and accessories. If you are replacing an old unit, the most practical approach is to compare function and working range, not the part number. If in doubt, ask us and we will guide you.

If you already have the part number of the heater or of the part you want to mount, send it by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales and we will quote you. We can also advise you on the model that best suits your plant or production line. We work with the SKF line and with the rest of our catalog of mounting and maintenance tools.
