Value & Benefits
Lifetime bearing protection increases mean time between failure (MTBF)
- Split GUARDIAN™ bearing isolators have a unitizing ring which keeps seal components from having metal to metal contact.
- Extend bearing life by excluding contamination and retaining bearing lubrication to IP65 levels.
- Non-wearing seal components provide consistent sealing performance over the lifetime of a bearing.
Split Design offers the fastest mean time to repair (MTTR) during rebuilds
- Stationary o-ring contact between the seals and shaft eliminates shaft grooving damage
- Stationary o-ring contact between the seal and housing eliminates housing damage
- Reduce time to install without an arbor press with Garlock's patented Cam-Lock o-ring system.
- Optional surface mounted design, for solid or split configurations, eliminates the need to machine equipment housings with small cross sections to accept a bore installed bearing isolator.
Non-contact engineered labyrinth designs reduce shaft drag, using 97% - 99% less energy vs. contact lip seals
