Under no circumstances should you heat a bearing

by directly putting the torch on the bearing surface.

• Use oven, hot plate, or NSK bearing induction heater

• Clean heating apparatus

• Exercise care when using hot oil bath

• Do not heat above 248 deg F (120 deg C)

• Reference inner ring expansion chart in NSK catalog, fig. 14.3

• Precautions

– Make Sure Oil Is Free of Sludge

– Control Temperature, Do Not Overheat

– Keep Tank Covered When Not In

• Advantages

– Heat Large Heats Efficiently

– Safe For Bearing

• Disadvantages

– Oil Can Contaminate Bearing

– Heating Oil May Not Compatible with Lube

– Can Not Heat Sealed Bearings By This Method

Without using flames or oil uniform heating in short time is possible, making shrink fitting efficient and clean.
