Abstract

The invention relates to a device for simultaneous peripheral electro-inductive hardening of bearing surfaces (2A, 3A) and transition A radii in crankshafts (1), comprising lifting pins (2, 3) arranged directly adjacent to each other and one behind the other with different angular positions on the plane perpendicular to the their axis of rotation (D), wherein inductors (8, 9) are provided which are placed on the lifting pins (2, 3) approximately in the same direction (C) thereof. A lifting pin (2, 3) is allocated to each inductor, which is arranged in such a way that it intersects the axial direction of the crankshaft (1). Said inductor comprises at least two inductor detents (8C, 8D, 9C, 9D) arranged parallel to each other. One inductor detent (8D, 9D) is arranged in an overlay area (4) of the lifting pins (2, 3) while the other inductor detent (8C, 9C) is arranged in an edge area of the lifting pin (2, 3) facing a cheek (5, 6). Said inductors are configured with a large inductor segment (8A, 9A) and a short inductor segment (8B, 9B) in such a way that the long inductor segment (8A, 9A) has a width (b-- 1) that is larger than half of the overall width (B) of the bearing surfaces (2A, 3A), wherein the long inductor segments (8A, 9A) are always separated by a space (E) in the peripheral direction of the crankshaft (1).
