April 20 2005 InproSeal Company has announced a revision to its highly successful brochure Introduction to Bearing Isolators A short lesson in bearing isolation
Valuable Information
Authored by David C Orlowski well known for his knowledge of bearings bearing protection and tribilogy the literature is a valuable source of information and useful tool to anyone
involved in the management maintenance repair and operations MRO of motors machine tool spindles turbines fans gear boxes paper machine rolls pumps and other types of rotating equipment
used in industrialprocess plants
Authored by Industry Expert
President and founder of InproSeal Company Orlowski has spent the last 41+ years working on ways to enhance and extend the service life of rotating equipment In 1977 he received patent
protection 4022479 for the bearing isolator He also invented the term bearing isolator in the process In addition he holds more than 40 other isolator related patents some of which go out
until 2018 and longer
Importance of Research and Feedback
According to Orlowski For over 27 years InproSeal has never stopped developing ways to help companies increase productivity and improve their bottom line To this end our manufacturing
complex is the largest of its kind in the world devoted to the engineering research improvement testing and manufacture of bearing isolators
Orlowski continued A very important aspect of our new technologies is direct end user feedback Last year we completed a twoyear enduser based research project that was conducted on a
marketbymarket applicationbyapplication analysis The end result of this research was that end users wanted to know a lot more about bearing isolators
Whether they used bearing isolators or not whether or not they read our literature or advertising messages the majority of the respondents simply stated that they wanted to know more
about the basics of the product As a direct result of this research we developed a brochure Introduction To Bearing Isolators A short lesson in bearing isolation
Orlowski concluded by saying that Based on feedback request and need we have revised our reference to include additional technical information artwork and drawings It represents a major
investment on our part to inform end users how bearing isolators eliminate the root cause of rotating and related equipment failure moisture dirt and abrasives contaminating the bearing
environment
Unique Reference
What makes this reference unique is that it is written by the inventor of the product in easy to understand language It includes important and useful information on the evolution of the
bearing isolator including how and why it was invented how it works how and why contact seals fail in a short period of time how to eliminate catastrophic failure how to reduce power
consumption in rotating equipment costs maintenance configurations and much more
What is a Bearing Isolator
A bearing isolator is a noncontact nonwearing permanent bearing protection device It has a rotor and a stator and the two are unitized so that they don't separate from one another while
in use Typically the rotor turns with a rotating shaft while the stator is pressed into a bearing housing The two components interact to keep contamination out of the bearing enclosure
and the lubricant in
InproSeal protected bearings have been known to run 150000 hours 17 years or more eliminating the need for continual maintenance and repair Documented cases show that a plant can easily
double the meantimebetween failure MTBF and reduce maintenance costs by at least half with users reporting an extremely high ROI Return On Investment Bearing isolators are installed by
OEM's retrofitted on existing equipment or specified by end users Approximately 16 million have been installed and most are still in operation in process plants around the world
InproSeal Products
Recent developments include the only product that protects rolling element bearings on paper machines from the wet end to the dry end IEEE841 motors that use bearing isolators as part of
their specification and set the standard for motor bearing protection the VBXH Series that protects machine tool spindle bearings from coolant chips humidity and heat the OM 32 that
optimizes oil mist applications by eliminating stray emissions environmental and housekeeping issues and the Air Mizer PS a dry sealing system provides a positive seal in applications
where dry particulates powders and bulk solids are handled processed packaged and stored
