Bessey Tools GCS-NCB Cone Style Bearing Heater (Replacement of GCS38534)

Bessey GCS-NCB Light Duty Cone Style Bearing Heater, Extend bearing life with this Bessey Cone Style Bearing Heater (GCS-NCB). A great alternative to larger units, it's safer than heating bearings with oil baths or hotplates.

Heating a bearing expands it for precise placement and alignment on the shaft without damage. Pressing (driving) a cold bearing onto a shaft can cause it to misalign – as little as a 0.001" difference can reduce a bearing's lifespan by 50%.

Bearing heaters generate clean, even heat for precision placement, resulting in extended bearing life. Heating alternatives such as hot oil baths and torches are messy and dangerous. Torches and element tops create uneven heat and expansion and cause hot spots that can change the metallurgical properties of the bearing steel.
