Contour inductors
Precisely matched to the part geometry, for an accurate and reproducible heating pattern.

Inductor Reproduction
Precisely fitting replacement and special solutions from INDUGO.
A defective or worn inductor doesn't necessarily have to be replaced at high cost by the original manufacturer. INDUGO's inductor reproduction offers a cost-efficient and usually faster alternative — particularly when original parts are no longer available or have been discontinued.
The goal is always a functionally reliable solution that keeps production running.
Inductor Reproduction
What does inductor reproduction mean?
In inductor reproduction, we create a reproduction based on a sample, a drawing, or existing measurement data. What matters isn't just the outward shape, but preserving every process-relevant property.
That includes inductor geometry, the winding structure and layout, the connection and cooling design, the distance to the workpiece, the thermal and electrical load, and the actual installation conditions.
At a glance
When does inductor reproduction make sense?
Reproduction is typically worthwhile when:
- the existing inductor is severely damaged or worn
- a repair would be uneconomical
- the manufacturer no longer supplies the part
- OEM spare parts are very expensive
- the application has changed and needs adapting
- a replacement is needed for an older system
- special geometries are required
Types
Which inductors can be reproduced?
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 Reproduction
Custom inductors for existing and new applications
Beyond pure reconstruction of existing parts, we also build custom, customer-specific, and tailor-made inductors for new applications — including induction hardening, brazing, preheating, joining and shrink-fit processes, or automated series production.
From inquiry to delivery
How does inductor reproduction work?
Analysis
Examining the existing inductor for geometry, wear, material condition, cooling, and connections.
Measurement and documentation
Based on samples, drawings, photos, measurement data, or technical specifications.
Technical assessment
Determining whether a 1:1 reproduction is appropriate, or whether changes would improve service life, manufacturability, or cooling.
Manufacturing
Production using brazing, welding, mechanical machining, or modern processes.
Quality control
Testing geometry, workmanship, sealing, and function before deployment.
Inductor Reproduction
Why precision matters in inductor reproduction
Winding position and shape, the distance between inductor and workpiece, conductor cross-section and routing, connection placement, and cooling and flow all directly affect the result. Reproducible installation conditions matter just as much.
Inductor reproduction is therefore not simply a copying job, but a technically demanding manufacturing process.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ on inductor reproduction
What's the difference between inductor reproduction and inductor repair?
Repair fixes an existing defect on the current part. Reproduction rebuilds the inductor entirely or largely from scratch — usually based on a sample, drawing, or technical specification.
Can an inductor be reproduced without a drawing?
Yes. Reproduction from a sample is possible in many cases even without a complete drawing, provided an old part or sufficient technical information is available.
Is reproduction suitable for older systems too?
Yes. It's often especially relevant for older or discontinued systems.
Do you also manufacture custom inductors?
Yes. Alongside reconstructing existing parts, we also build custom, customer-specific, and tailor-made inductors for new applications.
Is reproduction cheaper than an original part?
In many cases, yes — particularly when OEM prices are high or lead times are long.
Can water-cooled inductors be reproduced?
Yes, that's generally possible, but it requires high precision in geometry, connection technology, and cooling routing.
What does inductor reproduction cost?
Costs depend on the type and complexity of the inductor, available drawings, and other factors. Get in touch and we'll be happy to prepare a no-obligation quote.
