Aegis Bearing Protection Rings SGR-42-UKIT Rings
The AEGIS SGR-42-UKIT is a professional-grade motor bearing protection solution specifically engineered for HVACR and industrial applications. Designed as a solid shaft grounding ring, this unit integrates proprietary Electron Transport Technology to divert harmful VFD-induced voltages away from the motor bearings. By providing a path of least resistance to ground via conductive microfibers, it effectively prevents electrical discharge machining (EDM), which causes pitting, frosting, and fluting in precision components.
The SGR-42-UKIT is optimized for motors with a 42mm shaft diameter and is compatible with IEC frames 160M and 160L. This universal mounting kit includes four distinct bracket styles, allowing for flexible external installation on almost any motor end bell. Utilizing this AEGIS shaft grounding system is a critical best practice for maintaining equipment reliability and avoiding the high costs associated with premature bearing failure in inverter-duty and VFD-driven motors up to 100 HP.
Key Benefits
- VFD Interference Mitigation: Safely channels high-frequency shaft voltages to ground.
- Extended Motor Longevity: Prevents electrical erosion and lubrication degradation within the bearing housing.
- Universal Compatibility: Includes multiple bracket sets to clear slingers and shaft shoulders.
- Maintenance-Free Design: Conductive microfibers operate effectively without the need for constant adjustment.
- Easy Retrofit: Can be installed using the included hardware or AEGIS conductive epoxy.
Common Questions
How do I verify the grounding path after installation?Once the AEGIS SGR-42-UKIT is secured, use an ohmmeter to test the resistance between the ring and the motor frame. A reading of less than 1 ohm indicates a proper conductive path to ground.
Does this ring work on motors larger than 100 HP?For motors exceeding 100 HP, it is best practice to install an AEGIS grounding ring on one end and use an insulated bearing on the opposite end to prevent circulating currents.
Can I install this on a dirty or painted motor shaft?No. The shaft must be cleaned down to bare metal to ensure the microfibers have a direct conductive connection. Using colloidal silver coating is also recommended to improve conductivity and prevent corrosion.
