Swaged single-end elements for moulds, hot runners, water tanks and machinery. At 30–50 W/cm² the fit between heater and hole decides life — so we machine to your bore tolerance, not to a catalogue size.

Up to 50 W/cm² on Ø10 mm and above with a matched bore and good heat sinking. Above 40 W/cm² we will ask for the block material and bore tolerance before accepting the order.
Yes — Type J or K built into the same sheath, or a separate Pt100 pocket. Internal TC responds 3–5× faster than a surface sensor.
Yes. Ø1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8" and 1" bodies with NPT threads are standard for us, not specials.
100 pieces for cartridge heaters, 100 for screw-in types. Sample orders of 5–20 pieces are accepted at sample pricing.
Individually sleeved, leads protected, boxed with the test sheet per batch number. Mixed resistance sets are labelled so 3-phase groups stay matched.
Send a drawing, a sample photo or just the application — we will tell you what watt density and sheath you need before quoting.
