Induction heating is the process of heating electrically conductive materials, namely metals or semi-conductors, by electromagnetic induction, through heat transfer passing through an inductor that creates an electromagnetic field within the coil to heat up and possibly melt steel, copper, brass, graphite, gold, silver, aluminum, or carbide.
An induction heater is a key piece of equipment used in all forms of induction heating. Typically an induction heater operates at either medium frequency (MF) or radio frequency (RF) ranges. [1] Four main component systems form the basis of a modern induction heater. the control system, control panel, or ON / OFF switch; in some cases this ...
A cartridge heater is a tube-shaped, heavy-duty, industrial Joule heating element used in the process heating industry, usually custom manufactured to a specific watt density, [1] based on its intended application. [2] Compact designs are capable of reaching a watt density of up to 50W/cm² [3] while some specialty high temperature designs can ...
An industrial chamber furnace, used to heat steel billets for open-die forging. An industrial furnace, also known as a direct heater or a direct fired heater, is a device used to provide heat for an industrial process, typically higher than 400 degrees Celsius. [1] They are used to provide heat for a process or can serve as reactor which ...
A ball bearing. A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion and reduces friction between moving parts.The design of the bearing may, for example, provide for free linear movement of the moving part or for free rotation around a fixed axis; or, it may prevent a motion by controlling the vectors of normal forces that bear on the moving parts.
A ball bearing for skateboard wheels with a plastic cage. Wingqvist's self-aligning ball bearing. A ball bearing is a type of rolling-element bearing that uses balls to maintain the separation between the bearing races. The purpose of a ball bearing is to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads.
A sealed deep groove ball bearing. In mechanical engineering, a rolling-element bearing, also known as a rolling bearing, [1] is a bearing which carries a load by placing rolling elements (such as balls or rollers) between two concentric, grooved rings called races. The relative motion of the races causes the rolling elements to roll with very ...
A thrust bearing is a particular type of rotary bearing. Like other bearings they permanently rotate between parts, but they are designed to support a predominantly axial load. [1] Thrust bearings come in several varieties. Thrust ball bearings, composed of bearing balls supported in a ring, can be used in low-thrust applications where there is ...
