High Current Bearing Protection Ring for Motors

Published on:26 Aug,2015


New Universal Mounting Brackets allow fast, easy installation of AEGIS® iPRO, AEGIS® iPRO-MR, and AEGIS® WTG Bearing Protection Rings on large motors. Specially designed brackets attach to iPRO or WTG Rings with screws and have slotted legs (for mounting to motor) that accommodate bolt circles from 2.64” to 7.79” in diameter. Brackets are provided with 1/2”, 1”, and 1-1/2” standoff spacers to provide sufficient clearance for shaft shoulders, slingers, or other end bell protrusions. Mounting bolts, flat washers, and lock washers are also included.

Available for motor shafts to 30” in diameter, the rugged, highly reliable, and maintenance-free AEGIS® iPRO prevents electrical bearing damage that could lead to the failure of medium-voltage motors or generators, unplanned downtime, costly repairs, and lost revenues. To facilitate field retrofits, the iPRO split-ring comes in mating halves that simplify installation around the shafts of coupled equipment. The AEGIS® iPRO is ideal for medium-voltage motors that drive pumps, compressors, mixers, shredders, conveyors, and other machinery used in mining, food processing, wastewater treatment, petrochemical refining, and other applications. It is also ideal for protecting the bearings of generators in both utility and on-site power generation systems.
