LabTecta 66AX

The LabTecta 66AX design uses a unique sliding rotor that allows the seal to absorb axial movement internally. Also With this rotor design no axial sliding movement on the shaft exists that can cause shaft damage, drive-ring damage or allow contamination to pass under the drive ‘O’ ring.  Also The LabTecta 66AX provides superior reliability by utilizing double drive rings to provide a secure grip on the shaft, reducing the chance of shaft slip and a dual-rotor design with a secure drivelock to ensure both rotors continuously follow the shaft.

Features:

• Extended bearing and also equipment life
• Better protection against contamination ingress
• Also More reliable sealing with no sliding or slipping on the shaft
• Superior protection against contamination ingress as the rotor to stator seal integrity is not affected by the axial movement
• Unique dual rotor design with drivelock for superior reliability

Bearing Protection

The most cost effective reliability upgrade for your equipment

The LabTecta 66 range can eliminate the cause of 52% of your bearing failures.
Through its dynamic lift technology, it allows the equipment to breathe when
running, but is perfectly sealed when the equipment isn’t running,
preventing the ingress of contaminants.

Application specific designs(LabTecta 66AX)

LabTecta®66 can be used to upgrade applications that are used in difficult locations, or are prone to premature bearing failure.

Steam turbines (LabTecta 66ST)
Axial movement (LabTecta 66AX)
Oil flooded applications (LabTecta 66FS)
Split-seal designs for easier installation (LabTecta 66RDS)
Pillow blocks (LabTecta 66PB)
Inboard / outboard air purge for difficult environments (LabTecta 66IAP / LabTecta 66OAP).

Reducing Bearing Failure

52% of Bearing failures are due to contamination of the bearing oil*.
This represents 20.8% of all rotating equipment failures

A major study into equipment reliability has shown 48% of all bearing failures are due to particle contamination of the bearing oil, with an additional 4% due to corrosion caused by contamination of the bearing oil.

Reducing Water Contamination

Research conducted by a major academic institution has shown that water contamination as low as 0.002% (20ppm) in some oils can reduce bearing life by as much as 48% LabTecta 66 reduces bearing failure by:
Preventing water ingress
Also Preventing dust ingress
Eliminating shaft damage due to rubbing
