LBBS-7000 - Labyrinth Seal Bearing Protector Straight OD and Grounding Ring Stainless-Phos.Bronze

The LBBS-7000 is a high performance Labyrinth Seal designed for use on Electric Motors. It incorporates a parallel outside diameter (OD) and an integral Grounding Ring, that helps to prevent premature failure of the bearings as a result of electrical fluting. Electrical fluting is a form of electrical erosion where electrical discharge strips metal surfaces and erodes the material. Electrical fluting presents as a series of ridges or “flutes” that appear along bearing raceways, especially in motors equipped with variable frequency drives (VFDs)

This bearing seal will fit small x-sectional spaces, typically where lip seals or oil seals have previously been employed, and is certified to IP55; a standard for the protection of rotating equipment bearing chambers.

Our LBBS-7000 labyrinth seal design is offered as a complete cartridge solution that installed into the rotating equipment in a similar way to a lip or oil seal.

Design Features include;

• Parallel Outside Diameter - ideal for use with equipment with tight spaces, such as electric motors.
• Integral Grounding Ring - helps to prevent electrical fluting in the motor bearings.
• IP55 certified - provides protection against ingress of dust and high temperature, high pressure water – making the product ideal for use in conditions where equipment must be carefully sanitized.
• Cartridge, one piece solution for ease of installation
• Non-contacting design - No shaft wear and high shaft maintenance expense. Maintenance free construction.
• Bi-metallic material construction for optimum operational performance
• Outboard water/dust repellent orifice
• Integral PTFE barrier seal
• Twin rotor o-ring drive which stablizes the rotor in operation. This permits 'value-adding' close radial clearance construction between rotor and stator, which improves sealing performance.
• Compact design - will fit in practically all rotating equipment rotor/stator openings
