Introduction | Mighty Watt Cartridge Heaters | Maxi-Zone High Temperature Insertion Heaters | Bolt Heaters

The SST and QST Split Sheath Insertion Heaters are designed especially for platen, die or mold heating applications where the holes are poorly drilled or worn through age. Independent expansion of each section of the SST and QST when energized, creates intimate contact with the wall of the hole. SST Insertion Heaters have a single split along the length. The two sections expand in opposite directions. Conductive heat transfer is excellent. The QST, or Quad, has additional sections that expand in four directions. Surface contact is superior to any available insertion heater. The simple internal design of the SST and QST generates a uniform linear temperature profile. Perhaps the most outstanding feature is how easy the SST and QST Split Sheath Insertion Heaters are removed from the hole for replacement or other servicing requirements. As the temperature cools, the sections contract, allowing the SST and QST to slip from the hole without difficulty. In platens and presses utilizing long, conventional cartridge heaters, Ogden's split sheath design can reduce down-time and maintenance costs. Where repair or redrilling of the hole is not practical, the SST and QST offer outstanding performance.
