We are an authorized distributor for Sun Electric Heater Company.

  • 1/8 Inch Diameter
  • 1/2 Inch to 12 Inches Long
  • 6 to 240 Volt Ratings

Advanced Split-Sheath Design Provides These Features:

  • A high temperature alloy split-sheath with a unique ability to expand for maximum heat transfer.
  • A continuous nickel-chromium resistor element. No cold spots or cold ends, as found in conventional cartridge heaters.
  • Magnesium oxide electrical insulation of the highest possible density - 96% of theoretical.
  • Lead connections welded to the resistor, exiting through continuous insulation that can be bent sharply at the heater without exposing the conductors.
  • The result? A superior cartridge heater offering longer life, uniform temperatures, and easy installation in the tightest spots.

Benefits to Your Heating Process

  • Longer Life- When energized the opposing heater legs push apart, locking into contact with the surrounding bore for maximum heat transfer. Cooler operation means longer service life.
  • Easy Removal- When de-energized the heater legs contract, breaking contact for slide-out removability.  SunRods are guaranteed never to seize !
  • Uniform Heating- The continuous resistor provides consistent heat along the heater body. Even the tip is heated, providing uniform heat to your process.
  • Heat Wherever You Need It- SunRods can be built in lengths down to 1/2 inch. Just drill a small bore and slide in a Hot Tip SunRod!

Experience
Sun's technical staff embodies over 25 years of experience in industrial heating applications. The chief technical officer is the original inventor of the split-sheath cartridge heater.

Service
Mor Electric Heating provides application assistance to ensure the proper heater selection for best performance. If a non-stock heater is required, Sun will design, build and ship on a rush basis. (Request "Rush Delivery" on your order. )

Additionally, Every unit is subjected to stringent in-process testing and to multi-point quality assurance tests prior to shipment.  All Sun Electric heaters are marked with a customer-readable date code for warrantee verification.
