SKF Electric Hot Plate - 729659C

Installing a bearing can sometimes involve a wealth of tools and a lot of physical force. Through the use of our SKF electric hot plate, the sets of tools and force required can be heavily reduced. How is this possible? Through heating the bearing up, the material can be manipulated in a way that enables the component to be installed with ease and efficiency. (Be cautious to not heat the bearing above 125°C (257 °F) because the material may change metallurgically and produce alterations in diameter or hardness)
