Kumera gearboxes are found all around the world. Like most gearboxes, companies run them to failure, which often times is an impressive 10+ year run before a repair is needed. The Kumera LGA 2250T helical gearbox parallel double reduction speed reducer, and was having a problem with the egress of the ISO-220 lubrication. The cause was the double lip seals that are installed. They wear out in about 6-8 months on continuous use. On top of that, the lip seal wears a grove into the shaft, making it necessary to either refurbish the shaft or get a new one when it's time to repair. Regular labyrinth isolators don't scar the shaft but perform poorly in forced lube systems or flooded environments.
Isomag bearing isolators are the best of both worlds! Isomag bearing isolators are a positive seal that wont damage the shafts of your gearbox, and work in horizontal or vertical up or down positions for the right angle gearboxes. Isomag bearing isolators also work perfectly in grease lubrication environments. So say goodbye the all the diapers left sitting around your gearbox, and say hello to meeting your planned life cycle for your gearbox with Isomag bearing isolators.
