Shrink Fitting

Induction shrink fitting provides a fast, controlled method for assembling components through thermal expansion. By heating a component before assembly, manufacturers can create strong, accurate interference fits without damaging critical surfaces. CEIA USA induction heating systems support electric motor manufacturing, bearing installation, gear assembly, and industrial maintenance applications.
