The importance of having two temperature probes is to continuously monitor both the temperature of the inner and outer bearing races throughout the entire warming process of a bearing. By doing this you mitigate possible workpiece damage due to stresses caused by the temperature differential between the ID and OD. Most induction heaters only monitor the temperature of the inner race, neglecting the temperature of the outer race. The problem with this is that the two races will not expand at the same rate (see fig. 1).  If the ID heats faster than the OD, it will create large stresses on the roller elements that get sandwiched between the inner and outer races. These stresses will create cracks, fractures, and/or pitting that may not be noticed, reducing the life span…
