METHOD OF INDUCTION-HARDENING A ROLLING-ELEMENT BEARING RING
A method of induction hardening a bearing ring includes positioning first and second inductors at a start zone on the bearing ring and a preheat inductor in an end zone on the bearing ring spaced one hundred eighty degrees from the start zone. A first traversing element moves the first inductor circumferentially from the start zone toward the end zone along a first half of the bearing ring circumference while the first inductor heats the bearing ring, and a second traversing element moves the second inductor circumferentially from the start zone toward the end zone along a second half of the bearing ring circumference while the second inductor heats the bearing ring. A third traversing element moves the preheat inductor circumferentially within the end zone so as to traverse a portion of each half of the bearing ring circumference while the preheat inductor heats the end zone.
