A client contacted THE LAB at Ambrell needing to heat a roller assembly to shrink fit it to a motor shaft. THE LAB determined that an Ambrell EASYHEAT^TM 2.4 kW, 150-400 kHz induction heating system with a three-turn helical coil would be best for this induction shrink fitting application based on the client's heating requirements. The target temperature for the application was 450 ºF (232 ºC).

A client contacted THE LAB at Ambrell looking to use induction to prepare cast iron assemblies for shrink fit assembly. THE LAB determined that an Ambrell EASYHEAT^TM 5.0 kW, 150-400 kHz induction heating system with a four-turn helical coil would be optimal for this induction shrink fitting application. 

A client contacted THE LAB at Ambrell looking to assemble connecting rods. Their company was looking for better control of the heat delivered to the assembly than their flame delivered. THE LAB determined that an Ambrell EASYHEAT^TM 3.5 kW, 150-400 kHz induction heating system with a six-turn helical coil would be ideal for this induction shrink fitting application.

We're pleased to announce that a new brochure which highlights induction shrink fitting is now available. This brochure, which is titled "Improved Shrink Fitting with Induction Heating," highlights ten shrink fitting applications that were tested by THE LAB at Ambrell. It also discusses what shrink fitting is and why induction is often a good heating choice for the application.
