<p style="text-align:center;"> <img src="/membcentre/editor/attached/image/20180322/20180322091937_56667.jpg" alt="" /> </p> <p> A new AIP+ tutorial has been added to the NSK academy online training platform (www.nskacademy.com). </p> <p> <br /> </p> <p> <br /> </p> <p> The induction heater module is the latest to join other AIP+ (Added Value Programme) maintenance and service tool tutorials already available on the site. </p> <p> <br /> </p> <p> NSK′s specially developed training modules help registered academy users discover how AIP+ tools can be used to maximum advantage. Each tutorial offers a best-practice guide to bearing installation and care, which in turn helps boost the reliability and profitability of machines. The correct application of AIP+ tools can extend bearing lifetime and machinery performance, as well as reduce downtime and costs. </p> <p> <br /> </p> <p> A course, video and questionnaire are at the core of each module, with trainees receiving a certificate upon successful completion. NSK′s latest tutorial to go live is induction heaters, which carefully and evenly heat bearings that are mounted with an interference fit on to a shaft. Induction heaters allow bearings to be installed without the need for specific hand tools, and eliminate the need for force to be applied to the bearing during installation. </p> <p> <br /> </p> <p> NSK offers three induction heater types in different sizes based on weight and power requirements. The portable induction heater weighs just 3.5kg and is suitable for bearings/workpieces up to 10kg in weight, while the bench-mounted version offers capacity up to 300kg and is supplied with a range of yokes for different bearing sizes. Finally, the heavy-duty induction heater is floor mounted to accommodate weights up to 1200kg. A convenient design with sliding arm makes it easy to use with heavy bearings up to 1.2m outside diameter. </p> <p> <br /> </p> <p> Among the tips included in the video element of the new tutorial is how to use the power adjustment function on the induction heaters for use on sensitive bearings. </p> <p> <br /> </p> <p> As a whole, the NSK induction heater tutorial module is designed to show how bearings can be safely and efficiently heated to the optimum temperature for easy hot mounting. </p> <p> <br /> </p> <p> NSK Deutschland GmbH </p> <p> Harkortstrasse 15 </p> <p> 40880 Ratingen </p> <p> Germany </p> <p> Marie-Dominique PILATH </p> <p> Phone: +49 2102 4810 </p> <p> Fax: +49 2102 4812290 </p> <p> pilath-m@nsk.com </p>
