Cartridge Heaters

Precision engineering allows more power per square meter then any other metal-sheathed element. Used in accurately reamed holes, efficient energy conduction into the work piece ensures optimum heat transfer, fastest heat recovery and reliability in adverse operating conditions. Special lead configurations offer greater flexibility, strength & protection against vibration, movement and contaminants.

Silicone Heat Mat

Flexible heaters are thin (0.5 - 1.5mm), formable and able to be designed to fit your equipment’s requirements. The thin section and direct bonding to the work piece offer rapid heat transfer, accurate temperature control and even heat distribution. Standard sizes are available for most needs but complex shapes are possible without any loss of efficiency or durability.

Ceramic Heating Element

When dependable process heating is critical, ceramic heating elements offer an efficient, durable, and cost-effective solution for a wide range of industrial applications. Designed to operate in demanding environments and deliver consistent heat transfer, ceramic heating elements are commonly used in bitumen storage tanks, asphalt processing systems, fuel storage tanks, thermal oil systems, and industrial vessels where reliable temperature control is essential. Manufactured in Australia, our ceramic heating elements are engineered for local conditions and can be custom-built in lengths of up to 7 metres, making them ideal for large-scale heating applications that require substantial heat coverage and long service life.

Radiant Heaters

When fast, efficient, and controllable heat is essential, radiant heaters provide one of the most effective heating solutions available for Australian industry. Designed to transfer heat directly to the target surface, radiant heaters deliver rapid thermal response, improved energy efficiency, and consistent temperature distribution across a wide range of industrial applications. From plastics manufacturing and powder coating to food production, mining support equipment, and heat treatment processes, radiant heaters help businesses increase productivity while maintaining reliable process control. With operating temperatures reaching up to 1095°C (2000°F) and watt densities up to 30 W/in² (4.7 W/cm²), these heaters are engineered to perform in demanding industrial environments.

Neutral Earthing Resistor

One of the most common mistakes buyers make is requesting a quote without providing complete technical information. Manufacturers use the following details to design and size the resistor correctly.

Braking Resistor

At OHMIC RESISTORS, we manufacture Dynamic Braking Resistors with thermal ratings to suit customer requirements within resistor design criteria. Designs may be air natural or force air cooled. The purpose of a dynamic braking resistor is, when inserted into a motor or VFVV drive circuit, to slow down an electric motor and upstream equipment by converting kinetic energy into heat. The design of dynamic braking resistors depends on cyclic ratings of given systems, for example electric locomotives or mill drives.

Load Banks

Our load banks are used by a wide range of clients and industries such as mining sites, oil and gas plants, hospitals, major buildings, process plants, locomotive testing and many other essential services where it is required to verify the performance and reliability of generator systems.

Rotor Resistor Starters

Slip Ring Motors are primarily used to start high inertia load or a load that requires a starting torque across a full speed range. By correctly selecting the resistors inserted into the Rotor circuit, the motor is able to produce maximum torque at a relatively low current from zero to full speed.

Wire Wound Resistors

From 0.5 watt to megawatts; performance, durability and quality are the hallmarks of our resistors & load banks. We have specialized in manufacturing high accuracy wire-wound power resistors and resistive element ‘dummy’ loads for over 70 years.

Plate Resistors

Backer Cynebar Ohmic manufactures custom-engineered Grid Plate Resistors for dynamic braking, motor control, load banks, mining equipment, cranes, conveyors and industrial power systems. Designed for high energy absorption and reliable heat dissipation, our resistors deliver dependable performance in demanding environments.

Aluminium Housed Resistors

Compact, reliable power resistors for demanding industrial applications. The Danotherm Alpha Range Aluminium Housed Resistors is engineered for applications where reliability, thermal performance, and long service life are critical. Designed in Denmark and used worldwide, these compact power resistors deliver dependable energy dissipation for braking, power conversion, automation, and renewable energy systems. Available from Backer Cynebar Ohmic, the Alpha Range combines high power density with excellent heat dissipation, making it an ideal solution for industrial environments where space is limited and performance matters.

Liquid Cooled Resistors

High-Power Liquid Cooled Resistors for Renewable Energy, Mining, Rail and Industrial Applications When extreme energy dissipation is required, traditional air-cooled resistors can become large, inefficient, and difficult to integrate. Liquid Cooled Resistors provide an advanced solution by delivering exceptional power density, superior thermal management, and reliable performance in a significantly smaller footprint. At Backer Cynebar Ohmic, we supply Danotherm Liquid Cooled Resistors for some of Australia's most demanding applications, including Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), dynamic braking systems, rail infrastructure, mining operations, renewable energy projects, power generation facilities, and industrial drive systems. Designed for power ratings from 6 kW up to 1,450 kW, these high-performance resistor systems are engineered for environments where reliability, efficiency, and space optimisation are critical.

Steel Tube Resistors

When systems require maximum power in a minimal footprint, Danotherm’s steel tube resistors deliver the most streamlined and rugged solution. Purpose-built for harsh industrial environments where uncompromising reliability and thermal stability are paramount, these convection-cooled units are engineered for demanding loads, including overload conditions of up to ten times rated power for short intervals.
