Note: Shrink Fitting a Water Pump Shaft
Objective:
To shrink fit customer supplied parts to 800 °F
End Product:
Water pump
Equipment:
Ambrell EASYHEAT 8310, 10.0 kW, 150-400 kHz heating system, equipped with a remote work head containing two 1.5 μF capacitors.
Materials:
Customer-supplied pump parts
Temperature:
800 F-900 °Fmax
Frequency:
172 kHz
Testing:
A custom-designed multi turn helical coil was built to generate the required heating for the application. Initial tests were conducted to optimize the power delivered to the part. Once a satisfactory heat pattern was achieved in the time frame allowed, samples were run at multiple different settings.
Heating time with the EH power supply shows that a temperature can be achieved to produce one part every 45 seconds.
Benefits:
-
Defined and controlled heat pattern
-
Process easily integrated into automated system
-
Even distribution of heating
