Isomag Bearing Seals Best On Philadelphia Gear 10H3-2 Gearbox

Philadelphia Gear gearboxes are found on oil refineries, drilling platforms, chemical plants and paper mills. Most companies run them to failure, which often times is an impressive 10+ year run before a repair is needed. Lanxess in Orange, Texas, needed to stop their Philadelphia Gear 10H3-2 gearbox from leaking. The weakness 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 magnetic bearing seals 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 magnetic bearing isolators also work perfectly in grease lubrication environments.
