Bearing Isolators help prevent unscheduled downtime.
Press Release Summary:
VBXX-MT(TM) protects machine tools from coolant, chips, humidity, and heat that can cause spindle malfunction and unscheduled downtime. Based on VBX technology, unit combines non-contacting labyrinth seals with reverse interface that avoids direct impingement of coolant and chips. Technology also eliminates humidity ingress when spindle is at rest, while contact technology positively seals at shutdown, but operates without contact while running.
Original Press Release:
New Bearing Isolators Will Increase Productivity In Machine Tool Spindle and Related Applications
ROCK ISLAND, IL, April 28, 2003 --- Inpro/Seal Company, the Rock Island, IL, based manufacturer of bearing isolators has introduced their VBXX-MT(TM) Bearing Isolators.
The result of ongoing R &D, the VBXX-MT(TM) Series Bearing Isolators were specifically developed to increase productivity in automotive, aerospace, appliance manufacturing and other industries that use machine tool spindles.
Machine tool spindles are under constant assault from high-pressure coolants, dirt, chips, humidity, heat and ever increasing speeds. Any of these conditions can cause malfunction and expensive, unscheduled downtime, making it nearly impossible to keep spindles operating consistently.
With the VBXX-MT installed, machine tool users (CNC, box spindles, grinding machines) are protected from coolant, chips, humidity and heat, that can cause spindle malfunction and unscheduled downtime. The highest levels of performance are assured with a reverse interface that avoids direct impingement of coolant and chips.
Based on their highly successful VBX technology, it combines the latest and best technology in non-contacting labyrinth seals with the best possible interface for contamination exclusion. This technology also eliminates humidity ingress when the spindle is at rest and takes bearing isolation to new levels of protection and productivity. Its contact technology positively seals at shutdown, yet operates without contact while running.
The VBXX-MT is available as a retrofit for spindles and box spindles and is an exact dimensional fit for previous VBX users. New users can order standard configurations as a replacement part. Custom configurations are available for CNC machine users.
Inpro/Seal Company is the originator and the number one manufacturer of bearing isolators, used to protect motor and pump bearings, machine tool spindles, turbines, fans, gear boxes, paper machine rolls and many other types of rotating equipment.
