- Sheath in brass or copper for better thermal conduction
- Clamping plate to ensure good contact between the heater and the part to be heated
Assembly:
The flat ceramic band heaters are fitted in grooves 0.3 mm deeper than the heater height and with a gap of 2 mm on the outside of the heater. They are clamped against the part to be heated with a clamping plate in steel. It is recommended to have a good contact surface between the heater and the part to be heated to achieve a good heat transfer and long life.
You must use a temperature control device like a thermostat to regulate your process.
