MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621010570 A) filed by Symbiosis International, Pune, Maharashtra, on Jan. 31, for 'an integrated bearing induction heater for controlled temperature-based heating.'

Inventor(s) include Manas Thaker; Ajit Prasad; Shrey Joshi; Raj Patel; and Dr. Shruti Maheshwari.

The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention relates to an apparatus (100) for induction heating of bearings, comprising a housing (108) that supports and encloses functional heating components. An induction yoke (102) is mounted on the housing (108) to complete a magnetic circuit, while a heating coil arrangement (106) and an associated primary winding generate an alternating magnetic field that induces eddy-current heating within a bearing placed in the apparatus (100). A control panel (104) is provided on the housing (108), incorporating user-operable elements for regulating power and heating parameters. A bearing lifting arrangement is positioned near the heating coil arrangement to support and facilitate safe removal of heated bearings. The structural and functional integration of the induction yoke (102), heating coil arrangement (106), primary winding, control panel, and lifting arrangement enables controlled and uniform thermal expansion of bearings. The apparatus provides a compact, reliable, and operator-safe solution for workshop and industrial bearing installation environments."
