LGO Heating Elements with Low Thermal Mass and High Stability
JTEKT's patented LGO heating elements feature a special construction. Thin heating wires are cast into a ceramic mass,
leading to a quick response time and temperature adjustment. The low heat capacity of the thin wires allows rapid heating and cooling,
while fixation in the ceramic ensures high stability and durability. These heating elements are particularly suitable for operation
at low temperatures from 120°C and for temperatures up to 1150°C.
The meandering arrangement of heating wires in
the heating zone prevents the formation of a magnetic field in the heater, which can occur with a typical coil arrangement and
may interfere with certain processes or other electronic devices. Compared to conventional heating elements, LGO heating elements
require fewer heating zones, resulting in comparatively lower power consumption. The outstanding temperature uniformity results in
an extended flat zone and a uniform radial temperature distribution.
Features of LGO Heating Elements
- Outstanding temperature uniformity
- Rapid heating and cooling compared to standard heating elements
- Effective and precise temperature control at low temperatures (from 120°C)
- Avoidance of overshooting at the end of heating ramps
- No magnetic field within the heating element
- High durability and extended lifespan
- Up to 40% power savings per run compared to standard heating elements
