Induction Shrink Fitting
Induction Shrink Fitting involves expanding a metallic component (such as a gear or bearing) by heating it precisely, then fitting it over a mating part. As it cools, the component contracts to form a tight, interference fit—without the need for force-fitting or welding.
Application: Common in motor assemblies, couplings, gears, and bushings.
Advantages:
- Stress-free assembly
- Precision alignment
- No surface damage to components
Efficiency
The localized, rapid heating process allows high throughput and minimal handling time.
