About Induction Heater Accessories
Induction heater accessories are essential components and consumables that maximise the performance and versatility of your induction heating equipment. This range includes replacement coils in various sizes, specialist coolants, and adaptors designed for popular models from Sealey and Draper. Whether you're tackling seized bolts on agricultural machinery or fitting bearings in a busy workshop, having the right accessories ensures efficient, reliable results every time.
At MyToolShed.co.uk, our induction heater accessories cater to professional mechanics, engineers, and fabricators who demand compatibility and quality. Direct induction coils are available in different diameters to suit specific heating requirements, from small bearing work to larger rusted fixings. Proper maintenance accessories, particularly specialist coolants formulated for 240v induction equipment, protect your investment by preventing overheating and extending component life.
Applications
- Vehicle Mechanics: Removing seized exhaust bolts, releasing rusted fixings, and extracting bearings without damaging surrounding components
- Agricultural Engineers: Servicing farm machinery where corrosion and seized fasteners are common challenges
- Plant Maintenance Teams: Industrial equipment servicing, bearing removal, and dealing with corroded fixings in factory environments
- Fabricators and Welders: Controlled, localised heating for fitting bearings and expanding components
- Marine Engineers: Tackling heavily corroded fasteners exposed to saltwater environments
- Commercial Vehicle Workshops: Maintaining lorries and heavy goods vehicles with large, corroded components
- Classic Car Restorers: Carefully removing original fixings without damaging valuable vintage parts
Choosing The Right Induction Heater Accessories
Verify Equipment Compatibility: Always check that accessories match your specific model. Sealey accessories for VS230 and VS250 models differ from those designed for VS240. Using incorrect components can damage equipment or reduce performance.
Match Coil Size to Application: Different coil diameters provide optimal heating for various component sizes. Smaller coils concentrate heat effectively on bearings and small fasteners, whilst larger coils suit bigger suspension bolts and seized assemblies. Consider investing in multiple sizes for maximum versatility.
Prioritise Genuine Parts: Manufacturer-approved accessories from Sealey and Draper ensure proper electrical characteristics, safe operation, and warranty compliance. Aftermarket alternatives may not meet the same specifications.
Maintain Adequate Coolant Supply: Never compromise on coolant quality. Using incorrect fluids or running low can cause premature failure of expensive components. MyToolShed.co.uk stocks specialist induction heater coolants formulated for 240v equipment to maintain optimal performance.
Plan for Consumable Wear: Coils degrade with use. Having spare coils prevents costly downtime, especially in high-demand workshop environments.
Safety Information
Induction heating generates powerful electromagnetic fields and extreme temperatures. Maintain accessories in good condition—damaged coils or leaking coolant systems present serious hazards. Never operate equipment near individuals with pacemakers or electronic medical devices, as electromagnetic interference can cause dangerous malfunctions.
Always wear heat-resistant gloves and safety glasses. Keep work areas clear of flammable materials and follow HSE guidelines for electromagnetic field exposure. Only use manufacturer-approved accessories and isolate equipment from 240v power before changing components or performing maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different brands of accessories with my induction heater?
It's strongly recommended to use manufacturer-approved accessories designed for your specific model. Sealey accessories are engineered for Sealey heaters, and Draper accessories for Draper equipment. Using incompatible components can damage your heater, void warranties, and create safety hazards.
How often should I replace induction heater coolant?
Check coolant regularly and top up as needed. Complete replacement typically ranges from every 6-12 months in professional workshops. If coolant appears discoloured or contaminated, replace immediately using the specific coolant recommended by your equipment manufacturer.
Why do I need different sized coils?
Different coil sizes provide optimal heating for various component sizes. Smaller coils concentrate heat effectively on bearings and small fasteners, whilst larger coils suit bigger components like suspension bolts. Using appropriately sized coils ensures efficient heating and prevents damage to surrounding parts.
