1. Safety Instructions
WARNING! = potential risk of serious
personal injury
CAUTION! = danger of damaging the heater or
work piece
WARNING!
• Induction heaters generate a magnetic induction field,
which may affect or impair medical devices such as
pacemakers or hearing aids, resulting in a high risk of
serious bodily harm. Do not operate, or be within a sug-
gested minimum distance of 5m (16ft) of the machine
while wearing such devices.
• Hot work pieces may burn. Use supplied protective
gloves when handling such work pieces (suitable up to
150ºC (302ºF).
• Do not operate an Induction heater in areas where there
is a risk of an explosion.
• Proper maintenance and handling practices are critical.
Failure to follow user manual can result in equipment
failure, creating a risk of serious bodily harm.
CAUTION!
• Sensitive electronic equipment (e.g. portable tele-
phones, computers, watches, etc.) may be affected by
the magnetic field and should not be used within the
vicinity of the heater.

Safety precautions
The user should have an appreciation of the contents of this manual, and
be familiar with safe workshop practices.
• Follow the User Manual at all times.
• Ensure that the machine operates at the correct supply voltage. If the
heater has been supplied without a plug connection to the power supply
should only be made by a suitably qualified person.
• Do not use or store the heater in humid environments. Timken Induction
heaters are designed for indoor use only.
• On mobile models, always apply brake when in a stationary position.
• If the heater is equipped with sliding horizontal supports, always secure
these with the designated safety pin, either in the “in” or “out” posi-
tion.
• Use proper handling equipment, appropriate for the weight of the work
piece or yoke.
• Never support parts with a metal cable or have anything metallic hanging
in the proximity of the magnetic field. Extremely high currents can flow
through the cable, causing the cable to heat up.
• Do not hold metal objects near the yokes and poles.
• While heating keep at least 1 metre (3.3 ft) distance from the heater.
• Never remove the yokes during the heating cycle.
• Do not modify the heater and do not use self-fabricated yokes.
• Always check that the yoke is correctly adjusted to the poles otherwise
excessive vibration may occur.
• Only switch the machine on when the yoke is positioned correctly – on
models equipped with a swing arm (or swivelling yoke), the arm should
always be closed.
Note: Since our products are subject to continuous improvement, we
reserve the right to make changes.

Safety features
• The heater will switch off automatically if the ambient temperature
exceeds 70ºC (158ºF).
• When using the temperature mode, the heater will switch off automati-
cally if the rate of temperature rise is too low.
• On models equipped with a swing arm, the arm can be fixed in the open
position.
An induction heater works due a magnetic field. In the table below are
there are some measured values of the flux density in milliTesla (mT). These
values are measured in different radii and heights around the heater. These
measurements can be used as a guide in conforming to local regulations
regarding the maximum time exposure of people to magnetic fields.
The values below are only valid for this combination of bearing type and
yoke bar.
Different configurations may give different values. Due to the large variety
of bearing types in combination with the different yoke bars it is impos-
sible for us to give every possible value.

Heights are measured from the bottom of the heater. To determine where
the field is exactly in relation to the floor, the distance from the bottom of
the heater to the floor should be added on to the values mentioned in the
table. (e.g. the height of a workbench).
WARNING!
• We advise a safety distance of at least 1 metre for people.
CAUTION!
• The machine works through an induction field. Bear in mind
that this can influence electronic equipment, e.g. watches,
magnetic charts etc.
2. Introduction
Application
Timken Induction Heaters are designed to heat bearings, bushings, gear
wheels, couplings or other metallic work pieces which form a closed electri-
cal loop. This will facilitate mounting where an interference fit is required.

The heaters are designed to heat the work piece up to a maximum tem-
perature of 240ºC (464ºF), with the exception of the VHIN10 series models
where the temperature is limited to a maximum of 150ºC (302ºF) and spe-
cial custom-designed heaters where the maximum temperature can be
as high as 480ºC (896ºF).
Timken Induction heaters can be used on continuous bases. There is how-
ever a limitation; do not operate heater at a temperature of 240°C (464°F)
or more for more than half an hour. By heating with the time function this
has to be checked with an external temperature meter.
Caution:
• Bearings generally should only be heated up to a maxi-
mum temperature of 120ºC (248ºF).
• Precision bearings should only be heated up to a maxi-
mum temperature of 70ºC (158ºF). Heating to higher
temperatures may affect the metallurgical structure
and dimensional stability resulting in premature bear-
ing failure or loss of bearing performance.
• Do not use induction heaters for bearings or work pieces,
which are outside the minimum, or maximum dimen-
sions as specified in the technical data (Appendix 1).
• Do not switch off the heater with the main switch while
heating cycle is running
Operating conditions
Designed to be used in an industrial environment with an ambient tem-
perature of 0ºC to 50ºC (32ºF to 122ºF), and an atmospheric humidity of
between 5% to 90%. The induction heater is meant for indoor use only.
Principle of operation
The heater works in the same way as a transformer.
The primary coil is the heater and the secondary coil
is the work piece.
When the heater is switched on, a high voltage, low
alternating current passes through the numerous
noticeheaterGB.indd 8 17/10/06 15:16:56

8
9
GB
windings of the primary coil. This induces a low voltage, high current in
the work piece acting as the secondary coil. This high current results in the
heating up of the work piece.
The current is only flowing in the work piece, hence it is only this which
starts to heat up. The work piece is automatically demagnetised at the end
of each heating cycle.
3. Installation
• Remove packing material and place the induction heater on a non-fer-
rous, stable, flat surface. The box will normally contain the heater, a yoke
or a set of yokes, the temperature probe, a pair of heat-resistant gloves
and a small container of lubricant.
• Check the supply voltage and current meet the specifications on the type
plate to be found on the back of the machine.
• As there are a large number of plug types, not every Timken induction
heater is provided with a plug. When the heater is not provided with a
plug, a suitable plug has to be affixed by a qualified electrician.
• The wires should be connected as follows, there are 3 options depending
on what type of cable the heater is supplied with:
230V/110V 1 phase Heaters
Brown Phase Black Phase Black “1” Neutral
Blue Neutral White Neutral Black “2” Phase
Green/yellow Ground Green Ground Green/yellow Ground
400, 450, 500V 2 phase Heaters
Brown Phase Brown Phase Black “1” Phase
Blue Phase Black Phase Black “2” Phase
Green/yellow Ground Green/yellow Ground Green/yellow Ground
• Make sure that the supply cable cannot come into contact with the bear-
ing that is to be heated. Insert the plug into a shockproof wall socket.
noticeheaterGB.indd 9 17/10/06 15:16:56

• Use the main switch to switch on the current. The machine will emit a
short bleep and the display will show a “pre-set goal temperature” set
by the manufacturer.
• Connect the temperature probe by inserting the plug in the socket. Make
sure that – and + correspond on both plug and socket
• The induction heater is now ready to be used in the temperature func-
tion mode.

5. Setting up the Work Piece
WARNING!
• Use appropriate hoisting equipment for heavy components
and yokes. The manual lifting of heavy objects is a common
cause of injury.
• The weight of the work-piece should not exceed the maxi-
mum weight shown in section 5.2 below, and in the techni-
cal data (Appendix 1) at the back of the manual. Exceeding
these limits may result in catastrophic equipment failure
leading to personal injury.
• If heater is equipped with sliding horizontal supports, always
secure these with the designated safety pin, in either the
‘in’ or the ‘out’ position. Unexpected movement of the work
piece may lead to personal injury.
• Ensure that the mains cable cannot come into contact with
the work piece. Damage to the cable may result in electro-
cution.
• Never support components with a metal cable or have any
hanging in the proximity of the magnetic field. Extremely
high currents can flow through the cable causing it to heat
up quickly, resulting in a risk of burning.
The work piece can be set up in two different ways:
Yoke passing through the work piece Yoke in the horizontal position
(The bore is large enough for the pole to pass
through it. The work piece in this example is
shown resting on the horizontal supports).
noticeheaterGB.indd 11 17/10/06 15:16:58

5.1. Setting up the work piece where the yoke passes through it
• Make sure that the bright
sides are greased sufficiently
(improve contact, avoid
excessive vibration) and are
aligned on the top of poles.
Correct Incorrect
• Always choose a yoke, which
fills the bore of the bearings as
fully as possible. You can even
combine 2 yokes - this helps to
heat more quickly & evenly.
Correct Incorrect
• For Swing Arm Yokes: Swing out yoke towards the front of the heater
until it falls in the positioning lock of the hinge construction. Slide the
workpiece over the yoke till it lies in the middle of the yoke and swing
the yoke incl. Work piece back on top of the poles.
• Always make sure that the workpiece has no direct contact with the
plastic housing of the heater.
• When heating cycle is ready, follow the above instructions in opposite
order to take of the heated work piece. Wear protective clothing like heat
resistant gloves because the workpiece is hot now. (Supplied gloves are
suitable for 150°C (302°F).
• Always treat yokes carefully falling, jolting, etc, can damage them.
Always put the yoke away immediately after use

• To avoid the heater from tipping and damage to the yokes and the hinge
construction, the maximum weight for each size yoke is restricted.
• Parts with a higher weight can rest on the horizontal supports (if fitted), or
be supported by a non-metallic rope from a crane, avoiding any weight on
the yoke.
Diagram showing how the work piece can be supported:
VHIS 35 & VHIS 100 VHIS 200, VHIS 300 & VHIS 400
CAUTION!
• Always treat the yokes carefully. They can easily be
damaged through dropping, jolting etc. Always store
the yokes immediately after use.

6. Positioning the Magnetic
Temperature Probe
• Always use magnetic temperature probe (here-
after referred to as the ‘probe’) for heating in the
Temperature Mode.
• The probe can be used as a temperature-control
aid for heating in the Time Mode.
• The probe is suitable for operation up to a
maximum temperature of 240ºC (464ºF) - spe-
cial probes are supplied with custom machines
designed to operate above this temperature.
• As a safety feature, the connection between magnet
and probe will break above the maximum tempera-
ture. If this occurs when operating in the Tempera-
ture Mode, the machine will turn itself off since the
probe will fail to register any increase in the tem-
perature over a set period of time.
• A probe fixed to a clamp is also available when
heating non-magnetic work pieces.
• Ensure that the area where the probe is located
is completely clean.
• Always place the probe as close as possible to the
bore of the work piece (see opposite).
• Connect the probe by inserting the plug into the
socket at the back of the heater (the terminals
have a different orientation, so that the plug will
only fit in one way - the VHIN10 series models
have the probe permanently connected).
CAUTION!
• Treat the probe with care. It is a valuable part of the
heater and can easily be broken through careless han-
dling. After use, we suggest that it is placed on the side
of the vertical pole.

7. Operation
There are two modes of heating:
Temperature Mode: Time Mode:
• Used for controlled heating up to the
desired temperature.
• Used when you wish to keep the work
piece at the desired temperature for up to
15 minutes.
• Suitable for batch production. If the
time taken to heat the work piece to the
desired temperature is known.
• Emergency use if the temperature probe
is lost or defective. The temperature
of the work piece should be checked
using an external thermometer.
Using the Temperature Mode (Default mode whenever the machine is
switched on)
• Set up the work piece and probe according to the instructions in sections
5 & 6.
• Switch the machine on. The display will show 100c (or 100F). Enter the desired
temperature to which the work piece will be heated up to using the ‘▲’ or ‘▼’
key (by pressing the temperature mode key (· ) you can choose between
steps of 1º or 10º - this is the same whether working in C or F).
• Press the ‘START’ key. Heating starts and a soft buzzing sound will be
heard.
• The current temperature of the work piece appears on the display. When
the desired temperature has been reached, the display starts to blink and
a loud beeping is emitted. Unless you press the ‘STOP’ key, the heat-
retention function will keep the bearing at that temperature for 5 minutes.
The machine resumes heating after a temperature drop of 3º (C or F). When
the set temperature is reached once more the induction heater emits a
loud beep. Press the ‘STOP’ key to switch off the machine.
• The heating process or the heat-retention function can be interrupted at
any time by pressing the ‘STOP’ key.
Using the Time Mode
• Set up the work piece and temperature probe according to the instruc-
tions in sections 5 & 6 (the temperature probe is only necessary if you
want to check the temperature).
noticeheaterGB.indd 15 17/10/06 15:17:04

• Switch the machine on and press the time mode key ‘π ‘. Press the ‘▲’ or
‘▼’ key to set the desired time (by pressing the time mode key ‘π ‘ you
can choose between steps of one minute or one second).
• Press the ‘START’ key. Heating starts and a soft buzzing sound will be
heard.
• If the temperature key (·) is pressed while heating, the current tempera-
ture is displayed for 3 seconds. After that the countdown is resumed.
• During the heating process the set time runs to 00:00. When 00:00 is
reached the induction heater switches off. The work piece is then auto-
matically demagnetised and a loud continuous beeping is emitted. Press
the ‘STOP’ key to switch off the machine.
Work piece removal
• After pressing the ‘STOP’ key, place the probe on the side of the vertical
pole. Pressing the ‘STOP’ key always causes the work piece to be auto-
matically demagnetised.
• Using heat-resistant gloves, grip the yoke with the bearing on it and place
it on a clean, heat-resistant surface. Mount the bearing immediately to
prevent cooling. If using a model with a swing arm, swivel the yoke with
the bearing on it into the fixed, open position (at 45º). Slide the bearing
from the yoke. Mount the bearing immediately to avoid heat loss.
Malfunctioning
• If the temperature of the work piece fails to increase by 1º (either C or F)
within a set time-span, the heater switches off automatically. Four blink-
ing dashes will appear (----) in the display, and a loud intermittent beep is
emitted. Press the ‘STOP’ key to stop the beeping and check whether:
• the probe is still attached to the work piece, and is connected correctly
into its socket.
• the probe wiring has been damaged.
• the probe surface is clean.
• the heater capacity is too small for the work piece.
If the probe is defective, the Time Mode can still be used. The temperature
should be checked using an external thermometer.

• If a loud vibrating noise is heard, first check to see that the contact sur-
faces of the yokes are greased sufficiently. Then check to see that the
yoke is making optimal contact with poles. (To adjust yokes: Place yoke
on heater, unscrew the bolts in the yoke ¼ turn. Switch on heater and the
yoke will set itself. Re-tighten the bolts. You can also use a nylon hammer
as an aid to reposition the laminates).
WARNING!
• If in any doubt, isolate the machine and contact your
local distributor.
8. Cleaning and Maintenance
• Store in a dry, frost-proof area, free from humidity.
• Keep clean with a soft, dry cloth.
• Keep the contact parts of the poles clean. Grease regularly with an acid-
free grease for optimal contact with the yokes and to prevent corrosion
(on swing-arm models, also grease the vertical pin regularly).
• Contact your supplier if there is any suspicion of malfunctioning.
WARNING!
• Proper maintenance and handling practices are critical.
Failure to follow installation instructions and to main-
tain proper lubrication can result in equipment failure,
creating a risk of serious bodily harm.
