At the Pacific Container Terminal in Long Beach, California, huge cranes lift boxcar-sized containers, arranging them neatly on trains, trucks, and the decks of ships. If the cranes are not working, the whole process shudders to a halt.
SSA Marine, owner of the cranes, is just emerging from an ordeal. For years, every one of the company’s 10 cranes, each capable of lifting 50 tons, was plagued with chronic bearing damage. But Reed Electric & Field Service, a Los Angeles motor repair plant, has finally found the cure — the AEGIS® PRO Series Shaft Grounding Ring manufactured by Electro Static Technology.
