Tosimplify the protection of bearings in VFD-drivenmotors, Electro Static Technology has introduced the Split-Ring AEGIS(TM)Bearing Protection Ring with Conductive Epoxy Mounting. Developed for fast,easy field installation without detaching coupled equipment, the new Split-Ringkit offers long-term protection of ac motor bearings from electrical damage, safelychanneling VFD-induced bearing currentsto ground. The unit has a 360-degree circumferential inner ring of conductivemicrofibers permanently secured in place by the patented AEGISFiberLock(TM) channel. The FiberLock channel design not only preventsthe microfiber brushes from loosening or falling out, but also protects themfrom breakage.
