Bearing isolators
Bearing isolators
(OP)
For one of the Turbine - Gearbox- Fractionator pump , we are insisting for Inpro bearing isolators for the gearbox. The pump runs at 1485 rpm and the High speed side of the gearbox is 5300 rpm. Forced lubrication system for the bearings are applied for gearbox and the turbine bearings.
Gearbox vendor provide only aluminium laby seal and says that this is sufficient.
Because it is forced lubrication for the gears and the bearings, it is suggested to have inpro seals.
Thanks to suggest .

Did the vendor say that in writing, or is it just the verbal effluvium of a salesperson?

RE: Bearing isolators
is there a current problem with dust or moisture ingression?
consider the life cycle cost of the equipment. If the isolator will improve it and it is economical, then install it.
This is probably obvious!
