The SA/80 Generator Series is a high power induction unit in a very compact size with embedded advanced microprocessor based control software and state-of-the-art electronics. This allows very high efficiencies (>96%) under a wide variety of workload conditions while maintaining precise, stable and repeatable output power.
Shrink fitting
Shrink fitting is a sophisticated assembly methodology that precisely utilizes heat to induce a temporary thermal expansion in one component, thereby facilitating its frictionless engagement with another. Subsequent controlled cooling then instigates a robust, interference-fit mechanical joint. This high-strength joining technique is broadly adopted in precision manufacturing and maintenance for critical couplings such encompassing gears, rotors, bearings, and complex housings.
Induction heating is optimally suited for shrink fitting due to its inherent capacity to deliver rapid, intensely localized, and precisely controllable heat in a non-contact manner. Unlike conventional thermal processes utilizing ovens or direct flame, induction selectively concentrates heat solely within the designated target area, significantly mitigating the risk of thermal damage to adjacent components and enhancing overall process safety. The accelerated heating cycles inherently curtail production durations and minimize the imposition of thermal stress upon the components.
When integrated with CEIA Controllers, CEIA Induction Heating Systems (induction heaters) provide unparalleled repeatable performance, constant power output, and advanced real-time temperature monitoring. This empowers operators to meticulously control the heating process profile, ensuring uniform thermal expansion which, in turn, guarantees accurate fits and demonstrably reliable assembly. These highly energy-efficient systems are designed for seamless integration into existing production lines, adeptly supporting both high-volume manufacturing and specialized single-piece operations, making them exceptionally valuable across the automotive, aerospace, and electric motor production industries. This represents a prime induction application.
