Aegis Bearing Protection Rings SGR-2.125-UKIT-1A4
The Aegis SGR-2.125-UKIT-1A4 is a specialized shaft grounding ring designed to provide superior bearing protection for NEMA 324T and 326T frame motors. Engineered for high-performance HVACR and industrial applications, this split ring kit effectively diverts harmful VFD-induced voltages away from the bearings and safely to the ground. By utilizing proprietary Electron Transport Technology, the conductive microfibers inside the ring prevent electrical discharge machining (EDM), which causes pitting and fluting. The universal mounting brackets (uKIT) allow for easy external installation, even on motors with shaft shoulders or slingers, without requiring the removal of coupled equipment. This maintenance-free solution is essential for extending the operational lifespan of motors driven by variable frequency drives. The SGR-2.125-UKIT-1A4 is identical in function to the SGR-2.125-1A4, offering a reliable path of least resistance for stray currents in 2.125-inch shaft diameter configurations.
Key Benefits- Prevents EDM Damage: Eliminates VFD-induced shaft voltages that cause bearing fluting and premature motor failure.
- Simplified Installation: The split-ring design allows for quick retrofitting onto existing shafts without disassembling the motor or coupled load.
- Universal Compatibility: Includes multiple bracket styles to fit NEMA 324T, 326T, 404TS, and 405TS frame sizes.
- Maintenance-Free Operation: Conductive microfibers are designed for long-term durability in diverse industrial environments.
- Versatile Mounting: Can be secured using the provided hardware or AEGIS conductive epoxy for a reliable electrical bond.
How do I know if I need a split ring vs. a solid ring?
The split ring (SGR-2.125-UKIT-1A4) is ideal for field retrofits where the motor is already coupled to a load, as it can be installed around the shaft. Solid rings are typically reserved for new motor assemblies or when the shaft end is easily accessible.
Will this ring work on motors larger than 100 HP?
For motors over 100 HP (75 kW), it is a technical best practice to install an Aegis shaft grounding ring on the drive end and ensure the non-drive end bearing is insulated to prevent circulating currents.
Does the shaft require special preparation?
Yes, the shaft must be cleaned of all paint and non-conductive coatings. For optimal conductivity, it is recommended to apply a light coat of colloidal silver to the contact area.
