LabTecta bearing protection range from Aesseal is now ATEX certified
U
K-based Aesseal Plc is offering its customers a complete range of patented bearing protection products with full ATEX certification, complemented by an ATEX service support network. According to Aesseal, complying with ATEX directive 94/9/EC, LabTecta is the first range of bearing protection products to be certified to the latest harmonised EN standards, which adds to the growing list of ATEXcertified products from the firm. Bearing failure accounts for 20.8% of all rotating equipment downtime, with bearing contamination attributed as the major cause, says the company. LabTecta is specifically designed to prevent the ingress of water and 16

dirt, and the egress of lubricant, which reduces the chance of bearing failure. The design uses centrifugal forces to open and close “micro-gaps” in the seal to ensure the application can breathe when running, but is perfectly sealed from contamination when it stops running and the forces cease. (Aesseal is currently preparing a feature article that will cover in greater detail its LabTecta bearing protection seal. This is scheduled to appear in Sealing Technology later this year.)
