Assembly quality depends on joints expanding predictably. Our induction technology gives you precise, localised heating for accurate fits, shorter cycles, and an energy-efficient setup that supports modern production speeds.
Shrink fitting is a core step in vehicle and heavy-equipment production. If you build trucks, loaders, dumpers, rollers, or other construction machines, every bearing, ring, gear, hub, and coupling depends on controlled expansion. Traditional heating often overshoots, slows takt time, and includes batching. Electric induction heats only the mounting zone. Fast, precise, and without stressing surrounding material. You gain secure fits, cleaner working conditions, and a stable in-line flow.
Expansion accuracy depends on how cleanly heat enters the joint. Our unique SM2C material and coil design minimise thermal loss and deliver fast, focused heating that supports tight tolerances in automotive assembly. With a modular system architecture, your induction integrates into existing cells with minimal change. Simulation-verified temperature control ensures every shrink-fit step behaves predictably with lower energy demand and a fully electric footprint.
Shrink fitting depends on heating one defined zone so the mating component expands without affecting the rest of the part. If heat spreads too far or reacts too slowly, the fit becomes inaccurate. Induction delivers fast, localised surface heating that expands the target region with tight thermal boundaries, supporting the exact tolerances required for reliable assembly.
Batch furnaces heat the entire component and introduce thermal lag. Induction applies energy directly to the expansion zone through a controlled magnetic circuit. Our innovative SM2C reduces losses and focuses the field, giving you fast, predictable expansion and consistent press-fit behaviour across repeated cycles.
Yes. Shrink-fit applications vary widely in size and shape, so each heater is engineered around your geometry, material and thermal window. Coil design and our mouldable magnetic material are configured to shape the magnetic field for the specific zone that must expand. Modular heater blocks scale for large components or compact assemblies without compromising accuracy.
Shrink-fit accuracy improves when heating reacts quickly and stabilises immediately. Induction reaches temperature fast and cools quickly between cycles, enabling inline assembly without batch waiting. Soft-switching control keeps output steady, even when takt time fluctuates, allowing operators to maintain throughput while holding dimensional accuracy.
Yes. Induction heats only the active zone instead of the full component. MagComp’s magnetic-circuit innovation keeps flux inside the target region, reducing stray losses and lowering cooling demand. This makes electric shrink fitting more energy-efficient than gas or furnace-based solutions while improving process stability.
We simulate electromagnetic and thermal behaviour with your exact component geometry and tolerance requirements. Coil positioning, magnetic-material placement and power configuration are adapted to produce the same thermal response every cycle. This ensures each shrink-fit assembly reaches the defined temperature window with reliable, repeatable expansion that supports long-term mechanical performance.
