Bearing Isolators

Category Bearing Isolators

A Bearing Isolator is a permanent Solution to oil seal & Bearing Protection. Ideally the tip of Oil seal is continuously rubbing with the shaft leading it to erosion which ends us up failing oil seal itself, Bearing & Shaft. Key function of the bearing isolator is to protect the Bearing against external contamination of Debris, Harmful Gases & Liquids present in the Atmosphere around the rotating equipment.

Applications of bearing Isolators are Centrifugal Pumps, Gearboxes, Plummer blocks, Compressors, Steam/Gas Turbines, Ancillaries, Electric Motors, Rotary Valve ETC. A Typical Moc of the Bearing Isolator is Bronze. But in case of special requirements & operating conditions, we’d also be able to supply the Same in Stainless Steel (Ex Pharma applications)

Description

An additional Feature of a Bearing Isolator is Vapor Locking. While the equipment is rotating, some part of the Lubrication is sacrificed in the form of heat which is forced to vent out of a breather plug, Once the equipment cools down, a Vacuum is generated which sucks the air/moisture, from the external atmosphere of the rotating equipment (bringing corrosive gases, liquids in oil chamber), which then fails the Bearing. In case of Bearing Isolators, the same is prevented in two ways, 1) Interference fitment of the isolator, 2) Torturous path as seen in above picture.
