Induction Debond rubber seal from steel

Objective Debond a fluorocarbon rubber seal from a carbon steel oil seal Material 4” (10.2cm) OD carbon steel oil seal with a fluorocarbon rubber seal
Temperature 1200 ºF (649 ºC)
Frequency 179 kHz
Equipment • Power of 6kW induction heating system, equipped with a remote workhead containing two 0.66μF capacitors for a total of 1.32μF
• An induction heating coil designed and developed specifically for this application.
Process A two turn helical coil is used to heat the steel oil seal. The seal is placed in the coil and heated for 8 seconds. Once the seal had cooled the rubber seal is easily peeled from the steel in one piece.
Results/Benefits Induction heating provides:
• Highly accurate placement of heat, no effect to surrounding components
• Faster and more efficient
• Even distribution of heating
