- Minimize Shaft Wear
- Eliminate Oil Leaks
- Prevent Contamination
- Improve Lubricant Life
- Reduce Maintenance Costs
- Optimize Bearing Life
Reliable bearing protection and extended MTBF with the Thomson QXE Bearing Isolator.
The QXE is a true, non-contact bearing isolator utilizing double vertical internal chambers. Centrifugal force adds energy to contaminants, deflecting them away from your housing while effectively retaining lubrication. Two static internal coalescing O-rings exclude vapor ingress by breaking it down and directing it to the contamination exclusion chambers. The QXE can be split for ease of installation.
- Expels contaminants
- Eliminates lubrication leakage
- Protects against water ingress
The QXE maximizes bearing life and significantly reduces operations costs, save on:
- Lubricants
- Oil changes
- Labor and overtime
- Bearing replacements
- Equipment failures
- Down time
