Gearbox Bearing Protection
Eliminate Constant Oil Leaks and Continuous Maintenance
The Importance of Bearing Protection
Gearboxes are a significant component in the industrial process and can be found within a variety of industries. Unfortunately, they can be unreliable and difficult to maintain due to constant oil leaks from ineffective sealing solutions. Lubrication loss and contamination ingress into the bearing housing are two of the most common reasons for premature bearing failure on gearboxes, leading to unexpected downtime and high maintenance costs.
A Superior Sealing Solution
Inpro/Seal’s multiple gearbox Bearing Isolator designs are perfect sealing solutions for the variety of gearboxes in your facility. The Inpro/Seal Bearing Isolator is a compound labyrinth seal that keeps contamination out of the bearing housing and lubrication in, significantly increasing gearbox reliability.
For non-flooded bearings, with oil levels below the shaft, the non-contacting VB45-U and Double Runner Bearing Isolator designs permanently protect against contamination ingress and lubrication loss.
For flooded bearings, with oil levels above the shaft, the STS Bearing Isolator combines Bearing Isolator technology with a contact seal to significantly increase sealing capabilities.
Bearing Isolator Designs for Gearboxes
VB45-U
The IP66 rated VB45-U Bearing Isolator is a robust design for non-flooded gearboxes in severe environments.
Double Runner
The Double Runner Bearing Isolator, designed specifically for non-flooded gearboxes, utilizes dual rotors for increased oil retention.
STS
The STS Bearing Isolator combines a contact seal with Bearing Isolator technology for flooded gearboxes.
