Wire Wound Silicone Rubber Heaters
Silicone rubber heaters provide dependable performance under rigorous conditions. Ambient temperatures down to -80ºF and up to 500ºF do not diminish performance.
These heaters can be designed and fabricated in many configurations to fit the size and shape of almost any application requirements.
- Long life
- High reliability
- Versatile configurations
- Flexible for flat or curved installations
- Able to withstand extreme ambient temperatures
Construction:
The excellent dielectric properties of silicone rubber and the strength of fiberglass combine to produce a unique heater. First, fine nickel-chromium alloy wire is spiraled onto a center core of fiberglass twine, producing a strong, flexible heating element. Electronically- controlled precision winding equipment ensures consistancy.
Circuits are then hand-wound on permanent tooling providing repeatability of resistance and pattern. Parallel circuits are utilized where possible, permitting continued operation sould a single circuit be damaged.
When the heating element is positioned, a second layer of silicone rubber is laid over the wire. The layers are then vulcanized to permanently position the circuits.
Note: THESE HEATERS TAKE UP TO ONE WEEK TO SHIP.
