Contour inductors
Precisely matched to the part geometry, for an accurate and reproducible heating pattern.
Inductor Construction
Precise Inductor Construction by INDUGO
Manufacturer-independent, application-specific, and cost-efficient.
Inductors are the central tool of any induction heating process. Their shape determines how evenly a workpiece heats, how long a cycle takes, how reproducible the results are, and how long the inductor itself lasts.
That's where INDUGO comes in: we develop and manufacture inductors for existing systems and for new, specific requirements — as a solution built around your application, not a compromise off the shelf.
Inductor Construction
What does inductor construction mean?
Inductor construction covers the development, design, manufacturing, and optimization of inductors for industrial heating processes. Unlike many components in plant engineering, inductors can't be standardized — every application has its own requirements.
The design always accounts for workpiece geometry, the desired heating zones, process parameters, thermal aspects, the cooling concept, and the actual installation conditions on the machine.
Types
What types of inductors are manufactured?
Bell inductors
Enclose shaft ends and journals in a bell shape for even heating all the way around the part.
External inductors
For shafts, rings and other rotationally symmetric parts with an external contour.
Multi-turn and single-loop inductors
Variable winding configurations, matched to the respective process requirements.
Special inductors (e.g. for axle journals)
Custom one-off designs for special parts and applications – such as axle journals.
Soldering inductors
Compact inductor for precise, locally confined heating of solder joints, for reproducible, clean and process-reliable solder connections.
Tripod inductors
Complex, high-precision inductor for targeted heating of the three tripod raceways.
Inductor for hardening & tempering ball bearings
For hardening and subsequent tempering of ball bearings – with even, reproducible heating of the bearing ring.
Inductor Construction
Custom inductors instead of standard solutions
INDUGO's focus is on custom, customer-specific, and tailor-made inductors — for both existing systems and new applications such as induction hardening, brazing, preheating, joining and shrink-fit processes, or automated series production.
Inductor construction for existing systems is especially relevant when processes need to be adapted or optimized, or when existing tooling needs replacing.
From inquiry to delivery
How does inductor construction work?
Application analysis
We capture the workpiece, process goal, equipment, and technical requirements together.
Technical design
Based on this, a suitable geometry for the inductor is developed.
Construction and manufacturing planning
Design and manufacturing strategy are finalized down to the detail.
Manufacturing
Production uses the appropriate method — from brazing to CNC machining.
Testing and delivery
Geometry, workmanship, and function are tested before the inductor is delivered.
At a glance
Which technologies does INDUGO use for inductor construction?
Depending on the requirement, we use processes such as:
- Brazing
- Welding
- CNC machining
- Geometry reconstruction
- Laser technology
- 3D-assisted methods
Side by side
Inductor construction, reproduction, and repair — what's the difference?
Inductor construction
New development or manufacturing of an inductor for a specific application.
Inductor reproduction
Reproducing or reconstructing an existing inductor from a sample, drawing, or measurement data.
Inductor repair
Restoring an existing inductor after leaks, damaged connections, geometry damage, or wear.
Your benefits
Benefits of inductor construction with INDUGO

Frequently asked questions
FAQ on inductor construction
What is inductor construction?
Inductor construction covers the development and manufacturing of inductors for industrial induction processes — matched to workpiece, application, and equipment.
Are custom inductors manufactured?
Yes. A key focus is on custom, customer-specific, and tailor-made inductors for specific applications.
Is inductor construction suitable for existing systems?
Yes. It's especially relevant when processes need to be adapted, optimized, or existing tooling replaced.
What's the difference between construction and reproduction?
In construction, an inductor is newly developed or manufactured. In reproduction, an existing inductor is reproduced or reconstructed.
Can special inductors be implemented?
Yes. For complex workpieces, localized heating zones, or special installation situations, special inductors and custom builds are an important part of our offering.
What manufacturing processes are used?
Depending on the requirement, we use brazing, welding, mechanical machining, and other modern manufacturing technologies.
What does inductor construction cost?
Costs can't be stated generally, since complexity varies widely. Get in touch and we'll be happy to prepare a custom quote.
