When using an induction heater for bearings, couplings, etc.
1) Make sure the surfaces of the vertical posts are clean.
2) Improve the contact between the vertical post and the crossbar by applying a light coat of Vaseline to the contact surface of the vertical post.
3) The temperature probe should always be placed on or as close as possible to the inner race or ID of the workpiece being heated.
4) For the most efficient heating, always use the largest possible crossbar that will fit through the ID of the work piece being heated. (Stacking of multiple crossbars is permissible.)
5) It is not a requirement that the workpiece must touch the crossbar(s). Just so long as the bar goes through the bore someplace.
6) Most important of all is that the workpiece being heated always be automatically demagnetized. Any induction heater that does not do this COSTS you money instead of saving it.
