AEGIS Bearing Protection Ring™ with Split Ring Installation

Installation Guide:

1. Shaft must be clean & free of any coatings, paint, or other nonconductive material.
2. SGR™ should not operate over keyway. NOTE: SGR microfibers should not come in contact with the keyway during operation.
3. Split Ring must be installed on a flat surface.
4. Peal back one side of the copper tape to disconnect the 2 pieces of the SGR. Place the SGR over the shaft. Pinch both halves to ensure spacers are in place and replace copper tape firmly against side of SGR to keep both pieces together. The spacers remain in place until SGR is firmly mounted to end bell.
5. Install the SGR so that the aluminum brush holder maintains an even clearance around the shaft. Conductive MicroFibers™ must be in contact with conductive metal surface of the shaft.
   • English Mounting Hardware:
     1. Drill (4) holes using a #36 drill
     2. Depth of hole should be 1/4” *
     3. Tap each hole with a #6-32 tap
   • Metric Mounting Hardware:
     1. Drill (4) holes using a 2.5mm drill
     2. Depth of hole should be 6mm *
     3. Tap each hole with a M3 tap
6. Hold the SGR in place by fastening brackets to motor end bell using screws and washers provided*. Use minimum of 4 mounting brackets, supplied with SGR, to ensure proper ground connection.
7. Remove spacers and copper tape.
   

   Copper tape and spacers are included to aid with installation.

8. After installation, test for conductive path to ground using Ohm meter. One probe on metal frame of SGR and one probe on motor frame. NOTE: Motor must be grounded to common earth ground according to applicable standards.
   CAUTION: SGR IS NOT
   A GROUND FAULT
   PROTECTION DEVICE.
9. In occasions where SGR is exposed to excessive debris, additional protection of the SGR fibers may be necessary. Call technical support at 207-998-5140 or email techsupport@est-aegis.com
