Two foldable support arms allow for easier and safer heating of larger diameter bearings and also serve as internal storage for yokes, thereby reducing the risk of their damage or loss. <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;border:0px currentColor;border-image:none;color:#111111;text-transform:none;line-height:20.8px;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:"Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:normal;orphans:2;widows:2;font-stretch:inherit;background-color:#FFFFFF;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;font-variant-numeric:inherit;font-variant-east-asian:inherit;"> Bearings can be placed around the coil to provide a heating capacity as high as 120 kg (264 lbs) and up to 60 kg (160 lbs) for solid components; heating times can be as low as 20 minutes for a 97 kg (213 lbs) load. The unit has twin handles for added portability and an easy-to-use operator panel with LED display-integrated remote control, enabling it to be operated away from hot work and help protect control panel damage. <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;border:0px currentColor;border-image:none;color:#111111;text-transform:none;line-height:20.8px;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:"Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:normal;orphans:2;widows:2;font-stretch:inherit;background-color:#FFFFFF;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;font-variant-numeric:inherit;font-variant-east-asian:inherit;"> Three yokes are provided as standard to heat bore diameters of 20, 40 and 80mm. The largest incorporates the use of a swivel arm, which enables the bearing to be loaded without lifting or removing the yoke. <p style="margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;border:0px currentColor;border-image:none;color:#111111;text-transform:none;line-height:20.8px;text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-family:"Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;word-spacing:0px;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:normal;orphans:2;widows:2;font-stretch:inherit;background-color:#FFFFFF;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;font-variant-numeric:inherit;font-variant-east-asian:inherit;"> Potential risk of damage to coil or electronics is reduced by the use of thermal overheating protection. A temperature mode pre-set of 110°C helps prevent bearing over-heating, while a user-friendly two-step power setting allows smaller bearings to be heated safely and at lower power consumption. Additional protective features of the TIH 100m include a temperature probe to prevent bearing overheating and automatic demagnetisation to prevent bearing contamination by metal particles in the surrounding area.
