Aegis Bearing Protection Rings SGR-2.375-UKIT Rings
The Aegis SGR-2.375-UKIT is a professional-grade shaft grounding ring designed to protect motor bearings from the devastating effects of high-frequency VFD-induced shaft voltages. Engineered for 2.375" (2-3/8") shaft diameters, this bearing protection ring is a critical component for NEMA frame motors, specifically sizes 364T, 365T, 444TS, 445TS, 447TS, and 449TS. Using proprietary conductive microfiber technology, the Aegis solid ring provides a low-resistance path to ground, effectively preventing bearing fluting, pitting, and frosting caused by electrical discharge. This universal mounting kit (uKIT) includes several bracket styles and hardware to accommodate various motor end-bell configurations, including those with slingers or shaft shoulders. By installing the Aegis SGR-2.375-UKIT, maintenance teams can significantly extend motor service life and improve overall system reliability in industrial HVACR and pumping applications, reducing the risk of unplanned downtime associated with electrical bearing damage.
Key Benefits:- Prevents Electrical Discharge: Safely diverts harmful currents away from bearings to the motor frame.
- Extends Equipment Life: Eliminates bearing fluting and pitting, ensuring smooth mechanical operation.
- Universal Application: The included uKIT hardware fits a wide range of NEMA and IEC motor designs.
- VFD Optimization: Essential for motors operated by variable frequency drives to manage high-frequency voltages.
- Maintenance-Free Operation: Designed to provide reliable grounding without the need for frequent internal service.
How do I know if I need a shaft grounding ring?
If your motor is controlled by a VFD, it is susceptible to shaft voltage buildup which can cause bearing fluting. Installing an Aegis SGR is a standard best practice to protect against these electrical failures.
Can this kit be installed on a motor that is already in the field?
Yes, the Aegis SGR-2.375-UKIT is designed for both OEM and retrofit installations. Its universal brackets allow for easy mounting to the motor's exterior end bell.
Does the shaft require special preparation?
For optimal performance, the shaft must be cleaned of all paint and non-conductive coatings. Using conductive colloidal silver on the shaft in the area of fiber contact is highly recommended.
