Grounding HVAC Motor Shafts Protects Bearings, Lowers Repair Costs

Challenged to reduce energy consumption, facility managers are installing variable frequency drives (VFDs, also known as inverters) in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. By allowing motors to run […]

The Challenge of Mission-Critical Bearing Protection for Data Center Cooling

Because they provide the ability to precisely match cooling capacity to load, variable frequency drives (VFDs) are widely used in mission-critical data center applications. But, if the motors controlled by […]

Motor Shaft Grounding Rings Reduce Downtime/Repairs at Midwest Paper Mill

At a paper mill in the Midwest, every new motor controlled by a variable frequency drive (VFD) is tested, and if shaft voltages are found, the motor must be equipped […]

Cement Plant Protects Bearings with AEGIS® Grounding Rings

It seemed as though nothing could stop the squealing. Not that the Monarch Cement Company’s huge ball mill wasn’t already loud. Powered by a 5,000-HP motor, it pulverizes 100 tons […]

AEGIS® Rings Eliminate Bearing Damage at Water Treatment Plant

Dan Biby learned it all the hard way. An ordeal concerning several inverter-controlled pump motors with bearing damage made him a believer in the need for shaft grounding. Killer Shaft […]

Making Motors Sustainable at Time & Life Building

A preventive maintenance plan that reduces the total life-cycle cost of operations in a prominent building at the heart of New York City serves as a good example of how […]

Shaft Grounding Ring Ensures Constant Flow of Clean Air at Nanotechnology Lab

A SINGLE SPECK OF DUST could spoil a whole experiment at Purdue University’s new Birck Nanotechnology Center. To minimize the likelihood of such a scenario, the building’s HVAC system has […]

University Protects HVAC Motors in Platinum LEED® Building

A new preventive maintenance program at a leading New England Ivy League university demonstrates how the push for more sustainable “green” building management has led to a growing awareness of […]

Reducing Energy Consumption With Graco Husky 1050e

Despite the fact that about 70% of factories use them, air compressors are one of the most expensive and least efficient sources of energy. Many times, the energy bills exceed […]

Energy Service Company Replaces Two Peristaltic Pumps with One Graco Husky 1050e

An energy service company that refurbishes catalytic converters for power plants previously used two 29 mm peristaltic pumps to move lime slurry at 20% to 30% concentration for each of […]
