LabTecta®66PB-HD FAQ's
Q - We're experiencing grease or oil leakage from our current system, especially during maintenance. How does the LabTecta®66PB-HD address this issue?
A - LabTecta®66PB-HD is a standalone bearing isolator that eliminates the need for external support systems. Its innovative design ensures effective retention of bearing lubrication while keeping out contaminants such as water and dust. It has been independently certified to IP66 standards by both Simtars (Australia) and CML (global), offering reliable sealing performance even during maintenance activities.
Q - Our current pressurised closed-oil systems are high-maintenance, take up valuable space, and can’t handle prolonged angular misalignment. They also lack IP66 certification. What makes the LabTecta®66PB-HD a better alternative?
A - The AESSEAL® LabTecta®66PB-HD is engineered to absorb both angular and radial misalignment without the need for additional, maintenance-intensive lubrication systems. Its enhanced squeeze design on the universal joint maximises seal performance throughout its operational life. Unlike traditional bearing isolators that rely on tight clearances, which can lead to clogging and binding—our product is built for durability and reliability, particularly in demanding environments like mining.
Q - We’re concerned about increased power consumption from contact-based designs. Is the LabTecta®66PB-HD energy efficient?
A - Yes, the LabTecta®66PB-HD is a non-contacting bearing isolator, meaning there’s no added drag or friction to increase power consumption. Despite this, it still achieves full IP66 protection, independently verified.
Q - Is the LabTecta®66PB-HD repairable, or would we need to replace the entire unit if there's an issue?
A - The LabTecta®66PB-HD is designed for easy and cost-effective repair. The main metal components are reusable, and only the face shield, elastomers, and consumable parts need to be replaced during servicing. This design reduces both downtime and replacement costs.
Q - Can you offer a more commercially viable bearing protector without sacrificing performance?
A - Absolutely. The LabTecta®66PB-HD incorporates the latest in sealing technology to overcome past design limitations while providing a high-performance, environmentally sustainable solution. It delivers robust protection without compromising on cost-effectiveness, making it ideal for budget-conscious operations looking for long-term value.
Q - We want to eliminate the need for an oil header tank and reduce oil usage overall. Can the LabTecta®66PB-HD help?
A - Yes, by eliminating the need for a constant oil lubrication system, the LabTecta®66PB-HD significantly reduces oil consumption. Across sites with multiple installations, this can translate into substantial cost savings and a meaningful reduction in environmental impact.
Q - What kind of support can we expect from AESSEAL if we adopt the LabTecta®66PB-HD?
A - AESSEAL® offers robust global support for the LabTecta®66PB-HD, including local stock availability, rapid response times, expert technical support, and full installation assistance. Our worldwide network ensures seamless implementation and ongoing customer care wherever you operate.
