Garlock Safety Systems: Flood-Gard Bearing Isolators

FLOOD-GARD™ bearing isolators offer the ultimate sealing solution for aggressive, flooded lubrication environments.

With its patent pending IP66 design, FLOOD-GARD™ is a revolutionary seal that combines improved safety and overall process efficiency with cost savings through extended equipment and bearing life.

Benefits:

• Patented seal design provides bearing protection even in the most challenging flooded environments, extending the life of rotating equipment
• Rugged, unitized construction for ease of installation
• IP66 in most common design configurations
• Available in standard and small cross section configurations
• Substantially reduced installation time - NO ARBOR PRESS NEEDED
• No metal-to-metal contact between stator and rotor
• Handles up to .015” of misalignment

Typical Application

• Rotating equipment such as pumps, motors, gearboxes with flooded internal lubricant levels (levels which are above the bottom of the shaft)

Design Parameters

• Temperature: -22ºF (-30ºC) to 400ºF (204ºC)
• Shaft to bore misalignment: ±0.015” (0.38 mm)
• Axial motion to ±0.010” (0.25 mm)
• Surface speed: to 3,000 FPM Max. (15.24 m/s)
• Pressure: 7 psi intenal pressure
