No not all bulk tape erasers have a built-in timer - however, all the
higher powered non-commercial bulk erasers have a fairly short duty cycle. 
If you use a bulk eraser much longer than the documented duty cycle it may
overheat and catch fire.  After all, anytime you create a magnetic field
with an electric coil, you will generate heat as a by product.
