The working principle of saw blade brazing machine is to convert electrical energy into heat energy through high-frequency induction welding head, so that the metal melts at high temperature, thereby achieving the purpose of welding. Specifically, the brazing machine is mainly composed of power supply, welding head, control panel and cooling system. The power supply provides energy, the welding head realizes the welding function, the control panel adjusts the welding parameters, and the cooling system is used to cool the welding head.

During the welding process, the saw teeth are placed in an induction coil made of a hollow copper tube, and the two ends of the induction coil are connected to the high-frequency power supply. When the high-frequency current passes through the induction coil, a magnetic field is generated, which heats the straight narrow seam area on both sides of the induction coil copper tube and the cutter head to a high temperature, so that the brazing material melts and fills between the metals to form a welded joint.

The application scenarios of the brazing machine are very wide, including multiple industries such as automobiles, aviation, electronics and jewelry. In automobile manufacturing, brazing machines are used to weld various metal parts; in aviation manufacturing, they are used to weld high-temperature alloys; in the electronics industry, they are used to weld electronic components; in the jewelry industry, they are used to weld metal ornaments.

Working Principle of Bearing Heater
  1. Short-circuit heating: The main unit is a transformer with a special structure. The movable iron core can be directly used for heating worn bearings or other workpieces. When in operation, connect the power supply of the bearing heater’s main unit, and a short-circuit current will be induced in the workpiece (equivalent to the auxiliary winding) to heat it up.
  2. Place the iron core on the moving end face of the main iron core.
  3. Check the matching of the plug and socket and the reliability of earthing, then insert the plug into the power socket with a control switch.
  4. Turn the function knob to the manual control position and then turn on the power supply. At this time, the red indicator light is on.
  5. Press the start button to activate the main unit. At this time, the green light goes out and the red light remains on; press the stop button, and the red light goes out. The commissioning is now completed and the device is ready for use.
Operating Procedures
  1. Select the corresponding iron core according to the inner diameter of the bearing, and place the iron cores for the upper bearing on the two moving ends of the main iron core.
  2. During the heating process, measure the temperature of the inner end of the bearing inner ring. When the temperature rise reaches the required value, stop heating as scheduled, take out the iron core, and remove the bearing for assembly.
  3. For continuous heating of bearings of the same specification, turn the function knob to the time control position and set the heating time; the power will be cut off automatically when the bearing is heated for the set time.
  4. After the operation is completed, turn the knob to the stop position and cut off the power supply.

Application Scope of Bearing Heater

This bearing heater is suitable for mechanical manufacturing and maintenance in power plants, textile mills, paper mills, chemical industry, petroleum industry, machinery industry, mining machinery and other fields, as well as maintenance in the wind power industry. By heating workpieces at one time and conducting automatic annealing, the cylindrical deformation of workpieces can be achieved to meet the requirements of over-limit equipment. The heater is controlled by a microcomputer, which can automatically detect equipment faults, adjust the heater power automatically, and realize soft start/stop.

Bearing induction heaters are devices used to heat bearings prior to installation and removal. By heating the bearing, it can be slid onto the shaft with minimal force without damaging the bearing.

The optimal performance, service life, and durability of bearings are affected by proper installation. Bearing heaters play a critical role in bearing installation by heating the bearing inner ring to induce thermal expansion, enabling easy installation and preventing misalignment. They are commonly used for small, medium, and large bearings including roller bearings, ball bearings, spherical roller bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, tapered roller bearings, and others.

Controlled Heating in Bearing Installation – How to Reduce Damage and Improve Efficiency?

Bearing heaters are equipped with temperature sensors to measure the bearing temperature during heating. In addition, some heaters feature adjustable thermostats to prevent overheating of bearings. Controlled heating is enhanced for the following reasons:

Prevents overheating and damage: Overheating bearings can alter their metallurgical structure and severely impact bearing hardness and service life. It is critical to maintain temperatures within the range recommended by the manufacturer.

Avoids shaft damage and reduces installation force: Installation using a bearing heater with controlled heating eliminates the need for cold installation, which requires force to fit the bearing into position and often results in damage to shafts and bearing races.

Ensures uniform expansion: Bearing heaters are preferred over ovens or open flames for uniform bearing expansion. They are known for consistent, even heating, uniform thermal expansion of bearings, and prevention of distortion.

Faster, safer installation: Controlled heating shortens installation time and minimizes the risk of worker injury and shaft damage during installation. Multiple heaters feature automatic temperature control and an alarm when the bearing is ready for installation, preventing overheating and damage.

Preserves lubricant integrity: Controlled heating avoids uneven heating that can burn off lubricant, impair lubrication, and increase friction. It ensures pre-lubricated bearings retain their lubrication performance.

Why Use a Bearing Heater?

Bearing heaters are used to expand bearings for installation or removal without excessive force or cold installation/removal. They are typically used for:

  • Installation: Fitting bearings onto shafts, gears, and other machine components
  • Removal: Dismantling bearings from shafts, gears, and other machine parts
  • Heating other components: Also used for heating gears, pulleys, bushings, and similar parts
Advantages of Bearing Heaters:
  • Controlled heating: The greatest advantage is precise temperature control. Bearing heaters maintain safe temperatures to prevent metallurgical damage and ensure bearings are heated to the exact temperature required for installation.
  • Reduced bearing damage: Eliminates the need for mechanical force (hammering or pressing), avoiding risks of indentation, cracking, or misalignment during installation.
  • Faster, more efficient installation: Rapidly heats bearings for quicker installation, reduces machine downtime, and requires minimal manual effort, lowering worker fatigue.
  • Safer operation: Safer than traditional heating methods (e.g., open-flame torches). Eliminates fire hazards from torches and includes built-in sensors to prevent overheating.
  • Extended bearing life and performance: Controlled heating avoids micro-cracks or distortion that can lead to premature failure. It also ensures pre-greased bearings retain their lubricant.
