Bearing Gard – Isolators
Bearing Gard protection technology delivers reliable isolation from contamination to keep bearings running cleaner longer.

Bearing Gard bearing isolators directly assist equipment reliability by creating a strong barrier against external contamination.
- Static protection is assured by an internal O-ring between the rotor and stator.
- Dynamic protection is provided by a tortuous labyrinth that effectively repels severe environmental conditions.
- Standard design accommodates axial shaft movement of 0.63 mm (0.025 inch) TIR
- Static sealing quickly transitions to non-contacting operation for consistent performance and will not wear on the shaft or equipment.
- Oil retention features work to keep oil inside the bearings and off the ground.
- Non-contacting design – does not wear out or generate any heat.
- Can be used for ATEX upgrades of older equipment.
