Jackson Transformer Co. is a leading designer and manufacturer of transformers, reactors, chokes and other magnetic products. We have been developing, designing and manufacturing magnetic products since 1955.

An induction process consists of an induction power supply that passes a high-frequency alternating current (AC) through an inductor.

Our objective in this article is to show how a wheel-bearing inductor is designed, fabricated and validated to be ready for Production Parts Approval Process (PPAP) and integration into robust manufacturing.

Induction heat treatment is a common method for heat treating different automotive components, including camshafts, which belong to the group of critical engine/powertrain components. Now a new approach makes it possible to induction harden camshafts with almost undetectable distortion.

As manufacturers strive to compete in our constantly evolving, globalized market, they must consider every opportunity to increase efficiency and gain an advantage. When a truly revolutionary process comes along – one that can offer more precise control and more repeatable results than traditional heat treating – producers stop and take notice.
