RE: Aegis Shaft Grounding Ring
No bearing problems after they were installed. EDM dropped typically from a few thousand PPS at 200 V/us to a few hundred PPS at 50 V/us.
I would be a little cautious in heavily polluted areas. Especially if there is grease or oil. Not that I can say for sure that it would be a problem. But I would test thoroughly before installing on hundreds of motors.
In "clean" applications like AHUs and HVAC, I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Might be worth a look at the shaft grounding brushes from Sohre Turbomachinery. I'm keen on getting one of these on to a machine here for a trial but some members of the Flat Earth Society would die rather than carry out a trial which might prove them wrong. It might prove me wrong too, but I'm wrong often enough not to care too much.
These might be a little large for your installation, but I imagine a baghouse fan is a fair size anyway. Worth a look.
