The Smart MGS employs
proven shaft grounding technology with
patented VBXX® Bearing Isolator.
Conductive filaments are isolated within the seal and provide a low
impedance path to ground, diverting stray shaft currents safely away
from the bearings to ground. The seal's stator/rotor interface
permanently protects against contamination ingress while the D-Grove
and grease band seal against lubrication loss for either oil or grease
lubricated applications.
The Smart MGS (motor grounding seal) significantly increases long
term grounding
effectiveness. Isolated conductive filaments contact an
integrated bronze rotor rather than the shaft directly providing a
consistent surface regardless of shaft condition and protecting the
filaments from contamination.
When carbon filaments and the shaft are in direct contact, as with most
grounding ring designs, conduction inhibiting oxidation form on the
shaft, reducing effectiveness over time. Some devices require the
application of silver coatings or other maintenance to the shaft at
refular intervals to maintain performance. The innovative use of
the bronze rotor as a conductive element within the Smart MGS design
eleminates shaft oxidation without requiring costly ongoing
maintenance.
Standard equipped with a Smart terminal, the Smart MGS is designed to
connect the Smart
Ground Monitor™ to verify performance.
Applications: VFD-driven motors and coupled equipment, pumps, turbines,
motors, pillow blocks, mixers blenders, screw conveyors, rotary valves,
fans
