STS Bearing Isolator
A superior sealing solution for applications with flooded shafts.
Applications with flooded shafts, specifically gearboxes and pumps, are some of the most difficult applications to seal. Non-contacting seals cannot effectively seal pressure, allowing oil to leak to atmosphere. Contact seals are the preferred sealing method; however, they lose effectiveness in a short period of time due to wear. Purged seals are another option, but they can be expensive to purchase and maintain.
The Inpro/Seal STS Bearing Isolator effectively seals applications with flooded shafts through innovative design and technology. Its unique design combines a contact seal with Inpro/Seal’s patented XX Interface to protect against contamination ingress and lubrication loss. To increase seal life expectancy, the contact seal rides on an precision stainless steel rotor, creating a consistent sealing surface and decreasing wear.
