Cartridge Heaters have several different Construction Styles PTSHEAT (Phoenix Thermal Supply), http://www.phoenixthermalsupply.com/cartridge-heaters.html Designs and supplies a variety of cartridge heater construction types to fit your application needs. Choosing the right design is important for heater life and production requirements. Call a technical sales engineer to help you select the right heater for your application. Bent Cartridge Heaters This style is used in tight fit areas. Heated and non-heated zones can vary on either side of the bend. Bends need to be made in the un-heated section. Very popular in packaging and labeling equipment. Heater Diameter: 1/4" Minimum Bend Radius: 1/2", Heater Diameter: 5/16" Minimum Bend Radius: 1/2", Heater Diameter: 3/8" Minimum Bend Radius: 1/2", Heater Diameter: 1/2" Minimum Bend Radius: 3/4", Heater Diameter: 5/8" Minimum Bend Radius: 1", Heater Diameter: 3-4" Minimum Bend Radius: 1-1/4" Double Ended Construction This style is used in areas where electrical wiring is not brought in on both ends of a machine. Available with screw terminals, pins, and leads. Split Sheath Cartridge This style is great for solving hole fit issues as the split heater will open when energized to fill loose tolerances. A split sheath heater also closes when de-energized to allow easy removal. Square Cartridge Heaters This style heater is used in various applications. Used where a round heater is not. Multi Zone and Distributed Wattage Used For better heat control and temperature tolerances. This construction covers heat losses on packaging machinery and molds. Individually controlled heating zones.? As many as 5 zones in 3/4" and 1" diameter heaters and 3 zones in other diameters. Leads are color coded for easy identification. Phoenix Thermal Supply Cartridge Heaters can be used in a variety of applications!!Your cartridge heater's life can be extended if properly designed for the application. Please contact one of our sales engineers to discuss your current design and we can work with you to verify if the watt density, sheath, form, fit, function is proper. Our experience is your advantage!PTSHEAT Hotrod cartridge heaters are available with a standard 304SS sheath. In addition, 316 stainless steel and Incoloy 800 are optional. 304SS is excellent for most applications. However for extremely high temperature applications, Incoloy 800 is the better choice and for some corrosive environments 316SS is recommended.
