Introduction

Infrared Piston Rod Heating Systems are specialized industrial heating solutions designed specifically for the uniform, rapid, and contactless heating of piston rods before assembly, fitting, or maintenance operations. Piston rods used in hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic actuators, and engines require precise heating for thermal expansion fitting, stress relief, surface treatment, or coating processes. Kerone’s Infrared Piston Rod Heating Systems use optimized infrared emitter configurations to heat cylindrical piston rod profiles uniformly along their length, enabling precise temperature control for accurate dimensional fit and high-quality surface treatment outcomes.

Why Choose Kerone Infrared Piston Rod Heating Systems

Kerone designs Infrared Piston Rod Heating Systems with a deep understanding of the thermal and dimensional requirements of precision engineering applications. The circumferential emitter array design ensures uniform temperature distribution around and along the piston rod, eliminating the thermal gradients that can cause dimensional distortion or uneven surface treatment. Rapid infrared heating minimizes the time from ambient temperature to process temperature, improving workflow efficiency in assembly and maintenance operations. Kerone’s systems are compact and robust, designed for workshop and field use, with precise temperature control to ensure reliable, repeatable assembly and treatment results.

Types and Features of Infrared Piston Rod Heating Systems

Kerone’s Infrared Piston Rod Heating Systems are available in fixed-installation tunnel configurations for production environments and portable stand-mounted configurations for field and workshop maintenance operations. Systems are designed to accommodate piston rod diameters from 20mm to 300mm or larger, with heating tunnel lengths from 200mm to several meters for long rod applications. Medium-wave and short-wave emitter options are available depending on the required heating speed and final temperature. Power ranges from 1kW for small-diameter rods to over 50kW for large-diameter, high-throughput production applications.
