Isomag’s advanced magnetic face technology delivers unparalleled performance. The lapped flat faces create a positive liquid tight seal preventing lubricant leakage and the ingress of contaminants in both static and dynamic conditions on horizontal and vertical equipment alike. By optimizing the magnetic energy loading, Isomag’s are capable of running at shaft speeds well above average (up to 15,000 feet per minute) providing the ability to effectively seal the bearing housings on a wide variety of applications.
Isomag Bearing Isolators Technology Overview
Learn the technology behind Isomag Bearing Isolators and how it helps protect your rotating equipment
IsoMag magnetic face isolators represent the next step in the evolution of bearing
protection technology Our products are the only bearing isolators on the market today that create a long
term positive liquid tight seal Traditional lip seals use the rotating shaft as their primary sealing surface
While the solution created a positive seal, the resulting friction would, over time, create fretting along the
shaft allowing lubricants to escape and contaminants to enter. Labyrinth isolators added an outer
component that rotates with the shaft, solving the shaft wear issue but replacing the positive seal with a
close clearance open path Since this open path provided a route for contaminants to enter and lubricants to
escape. Labyrinth seals required frequent and expensive oil changes. Enter IsoMag. Our seals close the leak
path inherent to labyrinth seals by incorporating a magnetically energized flat face contact surface creating
a positive internal seal without wearing the host equipment For more than twenty years, IsoMag has
produced a range of easy to install products that provide proven, reliable performance in even the most
demanding applications. To summarize, IsoMags create a positive seal. Do not damage your host
equipment. Reduce maintenance and downtime. Feature a cartridge unit easily installed and removed. Run
cooler than the bearings in your host equipment. Allow for a greater range of axial shaft movement, and will
outlast the service life of the bearings they protect. Get your ideal bearing protection with IsoMag. Durable
by design.
