Supported Applications
The Omega MB Series comprises one-piece and two-piece mica-insulated band heaters designed for industrial heating applications. Documented use cases include plastic molding machines, extruders, and autoclaves.
Operating Conditions & Performance
These heaters feature a die-formed aluminum-coated steel sheath enclosing nickel-chromium or nickel-chromium resistor wire wound on mica strips. The non-hygroscopic mica insulation provides long-term durability. Maximum barrel temperature is rated up to 399°C (750°F). Electrical power supply options include 120 to 240V for the MB-1 Series and 240/480V for the MB-2 Series.
Watt densities listed in specification tables are based on the heated area of contact surface only. The one-piece design is noted for providing uniform fit and quick temperature response, while two-piece configurations allow application on larger components.
Key Performance Parameters
- Max Barrel Temperature: Up to 399°C (750°F)
- Sheath Material: Die-formed aluminum-coated steel
- Insulation Type: Mica strips with nickel-chromium resistor wire
- Power Supply: 120 to 240V (MB-1 Series); 240/480V (MB-2 Series)
Configuration Options
The series supports a wide range of barrel diameters, heater widths, and power ratings. Model numbers follow the format MB. For example, model MB6J1J2P1 represents a 950 Watt, 240 or 480V heater.
Configurable Options
- Electrical Connections: Flexible Strand Terminals (Type A) or Heavy-Duty Anti-Torque Post Terminal (Type P)
- Housing Styles: One-piece design for uniform fit; two-piece design with stainless steel clamping band available in the MB-2 Series
- Sensor Elements: Nickel-chromium resistor wire wound on mica strips
- Voltage Configurations: 120V, 240V, and dual-voltage options (e.g., 240/480V)
Dimensional Envelope
The series covers barrel diameters ranging from small fractional sizes up to larger industrial dimensions. Specific model tables list configurations for barrel diameters including 1½, 2, and various inch fractions (e.g., 4⅞, 6¾) with corresponding heater widths.
Key Product Differences
The MB Series is divided into one-piece and two-piece constructions. The one-piece design offers a uniform fit suitable for standard installations requiring quick temperature response. Two-piece heaters utilize a stainless steel clamping band (MB-2 Series) to facilitate installation on larger components or where access constraints exist.
Terminal Types
Variants are distinguished by terminal configuration:
- Type A: Flexible Strand Terminals
- Type P: Heavy-Duty Anti-Torque Post Terminal
Series Distinctions
The MB-1 Series operates on 120 to 240V, while the MB-2 Series is configured for 240/480V applications. Model numbering reflects these distinctions along with barrel diameter codes and heater width specifications.

Very well suited for high temperatures!
It is very well suited to high temperatures, high power densities. I am using it on a vacuum system to clamp around a 1.33 conflat flange. It brings the parts up to 175 deg C - as expected given the thermal conductivities. However the wire leads are a little suspect: The metallic braid seems to be electrically isolated with respect to the metal band. And at each end of the metal braid (four places) the flexibility changes abruptly - leaving the wire subject to strain. -John
