Square Cartridge Heaters - Square cartridge heaters for e.g. cutting knives, sealing stations, hot plates

Square cartridge heaters are used where much power has to be installed near the surface of a tool, e.g. in cutting knives, sealing stations or hot plates. With a soft, malleable condition in stainless steel or nickel sheath square cartridge heaters can easily be pressed into common milled rectangular grooves. Apart from the advantageous heat transfer over ¾ of the sheath, it is not necessary to cement or cast in the heater which is imperative for round cartridge heaters. Unlike tubular heaters which are also available in square sections (see chapter Flexible Heating Pipes), the square cartridge heaters have the termination on one side and can be loaded with 16W/cm² (2.5W/in²) due to their special inside construction. square cross sections:4,5x4,5, 6x6, 8x8, 10x10 mm corresponding round cross sections:Ø4,5, Ø6, Ø8, Ø10 mm
