Cartridge Heaters (PDF datasheet) Specials, product enquiry and further information (Contact us form)
These highly compacted heating elements have been developed primarily for the heating of small parts. The sheath is made of chrome-nickel steel, material no. 1.4541 and serves as a return conductor. Therefore the high performance cartridge heaters type HLP 2.8; HLP 4.5 and HLP 5.0 may only be used for operation at low voltages up to 42 V max.
The sheath of the cartridge heaters for low voltages is not ground (diameter 2.8 mm -0.1 mm; 4.5 mm ?0.1 mm and 5.0 mm ?0.1 mm) . The bottom end is welded gas and liquid tight. The maximum sheath temperature for the ? 2.8 mm and ? 4.5 mm heaters is approx. 500?C and 750?C for the ? 5.0 mm cartridges. The connection cable for the low voltage cartridge heater with diameter 2.8 and 4.5 mm consists of a 100 mm long twisted wire which is insulated by a teflon hose. The teflon insulation can withstand temperatures up to 300?C at short time use and 250?C for permanent use. The connection end of the ? 5.0 mm heating elements consists of a ? 2 mm connection bolt with a length of 20 mm.
High performance cartridge heaters type HLP 2.8, HLP 4.5 and HLP 5 are not available ex-stock. The heating elements are produced to order within the limits shown in the tables beside.
Other lengths, voltages and powers can be supplied too.
The use of high performance cartridge heaters type HLP 2.8, HLP 4.5 with surface loading =20 W/cm2 is only permissible when there is a very good heat transfer. Cartridge heaters with a low surface load at 24 V can also be used for 42 V operation but it has to be considered that the power rating is more than 3 times higher.
High performance cartridge heaters designed for 24 V operation can also be used for 12 V operation but the power rating will then be reduced to a quarter of the nominal rating at 24 V.
Maximum current 8 A
