Our induction technology is a valuable contribution to a resilient, digital and green recovery of the economy after the COVID-19 pandemic.

What role has induction technology played in the promotion of green wind power?

Oil crisis… energy crunch… global warming. All of us are aware of the need to find sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. One of the most promising alternatives is wind.

The world’s fastest and most flexible horizontal hardening machine

The HardLine Hybrid combines a pusher machine (HP) and a continuous loading machine (HC) into one single machine.

induction scanning systems for the hardening of sun gears

EFD Induction USA has recently won major orders from two American tier-one automotive suppliers. The orders involve EFD Induction ‘HardLine’ type induction scanning systems for the hardening of sun gears and output shafts.

Differences between scanning and single-shot induction hardening.

There are two alternative methods of induction hardening: conventional ‘scanning hardening’, and the less common ‘single-shot hardening’. It is sometimes the case that workpiece characteristics determine which method must be used .

Induction hardening system for valve specialist Basso

Argentina-based automotive valve manufacturer Basso A.S. has ordered a vertical hardening system from EFD Induction.

EFD Induction lands major hardening orders from ZF

A major technology shift towards electric motor steering systems are key factors behind a series of major orders from ZF.

What is important when designing induction coils?

Correctly designed and built induction coils are absolutely critical for successful, cost-effective induction heating. In fact, designing and testing coils is often the process with the longest lead time when devising an induction heating solution.

State-of-the-art Sinac for state-of-the-art Eibach

The next time you watch a Formula One race on TV, you can be sure that most of the cars on the track are equipped with suspension springs from Eibach.

Induction heating hardens giant slewing rings

A patented EFD Induction innovation hardens the giant slewing rings used in wind turbines—without leaving any unwanted ‘soft zones’.

Unwrap the benefits of package hardening

EFD Induction is the world’s no.1 induction hardening company. That’s good news for us. But what’s more important is why?

Hägglunds Drives on the road to faster production

A new EFD Induction solution has helped Hägglunds Drives slash hardening cycle times by 85% for large cam rings, and 45% for smaller rings.

Induction heating for hardening of crankshafts

When the world’s largest manufacturer of agricultural equipment decides to invest in production upgrades, you can be sure it chooses the best solutions on offer. John Deere selected a crankshaft hardening system from EFD Induction.

Earthmowing experience

Caterpillar, Komatsu, JCB, John Deere, Poclain, Clark—they all have two things in common.

In-line induction heating solutions for surface hardening of shafts

One of the most powerful arguments in favor of in-line heat treatment is that it gives you complete control over all stages of production.

Heating up the winds of change

Constant, clean and cost-effective—wind power is one of the fastest growing energy sources in the world, providing ever more people with reliable, affordable and sustainable electricity. What role has induction technology played in the promotion of green wind power?

Hybrid horizontal hardening at Thermprocess

At the ongoing THERMPROCESS trade fair in Düsseldorf, EFD Induction are presenting their HardLine Hybrid – the world’s fastest and most flexible horizontal hardening machine.

Industry 4.0 has never been hotter

Induction heating plays a vital role in the emerging connected industrial landscape. Concentrated and controllable heat simplifies the manufacturing process. Remote services are also underway to collect data for analysis, improve spare parts handling and minimize the need for inspection travels.

Zero emissions. And it has nothing to do with the battery.

The automotive industry is going through a paradigm shift. New powertrains and materials drive the change towards products designed for a circular economy. As induction heating is far more energy-efficient and eco-friendly than other heating alternatives, the technology is growing in importance.
