BETEX MF Quick Heaters from Schaeffler are well-known for their intelligent, contactless heating technology, tailored for the installation and removal of rotating components like bearings, sleeves, gears, and couplings. To unlock the full performance of these advanced induction heaters, using the right accessories is crucial. Each generation—ranging from compact 3.5kW models to high-capacity 44kW versions—benefits from a well-designed suite of supporting components that ensure efficient, safe, and flexible operation.

Flexible Inductors: Versatile and Custom-Fit

At the core of the MF accessory lineup are flexible inductors. These are essential for applications where the workpiece cannot be placed in a fixed coil. Available in multiple lengths (5 to 35 meters) and diameters (12mm to 28mm), these inductors adapt to various geometries and materials. The 3.5kW units use Ø12mm inductors suitable for up to 180°C, while higher-power systems like 22kW and 44kW accept larger Ø20mm or Ø28mm variants capable of heating to 300°C. Some versions are optimized for short heating cycles, offering quick turnaround in demanding environments.

Magnetic Holders: Secure Coil Placement

To stabilize the position of flexible inductors during heating, magnetic holders are available in convenient sets of five. These accessories prevent slippage or uneven winding—essential for consistent heat distribution and process safety. Depending on the MF unit, holders are sized and priced accordingly, but all serve the same purpose: keeping inductors precisely where they need to be.

Connection Sets: Ready for Quick Deployment

BETEX connection sets ensure fast and safe linking between generators and inductors. Standard 3-meter cables come in variants for 10/22kW or 44kW systems and are available with or without inductor recognition. This feature allows the generator to automatically detect the coil type and apply pre-configured settings, minimizing operator input and reducing the chance of errors during setup.

Temperature Sensors: Monitor and Control

Precise thermal management is a cornerstone of the MF system. That’s why BETEX offers magnetic and clamp-type temperature sensors, compatible with all MF models. These sensors, rated for 240–350°C, provide real-time feedback on heating curves, enabling operators to adjust power or timing via the intuitive touchscreen interface. Two sensors can be used simultaneously to monitor Delta-T for critical assemblies.

Signal Tower and Gloves: Safety and Feedback

To enhance visibility and safety in production environments, the optional signal tower adds status indication through light and sound alerts. Heat-resistant gloves—rated up to 250°C or 300°C—complete the package, ensuring operators stay protected during handling and post-heating removal.

Every BETEX MF Quick Heater is only as effective as the accessories supporting it. From flexible inductors and magnetic holders to smart cables and temperature sensors, these components are not optional extras—they are essential tools for achieving safe, efficient, and precise induction heating. When choosing a BETEX system, always consider the full range of accessories to tailor performance to your application.
