Industrial Ac Motors Protected From Shaft Current: New Aegis SGR Shaft Grounding Brush Boosts Motor Reliability
MECHANIC FALLS, ME (ContentDesk via ContentDesk Direct) March 7, 2006 The new AEGIS SGR" Conductive MicroFiber" Shaft Grounding Brush from Electro Static Technology boosts reliability of AC motors controlled by variable frequency drives (VFD) in any manufacturing application.
The patent pending AEGIS SGR protects motors from catastrophic failure caused by shaft current in motor bearings.
AEGIS SGR channels potentially damaging shaft currents away from the motor bearings to ground.
Detailed product information and catalog may be downloaded at www.est-aegis.com.VFDs are increasingly used in industrial applications to control AC motors because of the tremendous energy savings and lower operating costs gained by the use of electronic drives for process control, pumps, air handling, rollers, spindles, extrusion machines, winders and many more applications.
However, without a reliable grounding device on the motors, currents are induced on the motor shafts and typically discharge through the motor bearings, causing pitting, fluting and failure.
By protecting bearings from electrical damage for the life of the motor, the AEGIS SGR prevents costly motor failure, repairs and downtime.
It is ideal for any industrial application where drives are used to control AC motors of any size from 1 HP to greater than 5000 HP.
It is easily installed by sliding the brush over the motor shaft and locking it in place with simple screw-on brackets.
Because no machining is required, AEGIS SGR can be installed in minutes even on the production floor.Unlike conventional shaft grounding brushes which wear out quickly and lose their effectiveness, AEGIS SGRs conductive microfibers work with virtually no friction or wear and last for the life of the motor.
No RPM limitations, maintenance-free and manufactured entirely from non-toxic materials, AEGIS SGR is unaffected by dirt, grease, or other contaminants and provides the longest-lasting protection available.
Electro Static Technology is the global leader in the elimination and/or mitigation of induced electrical charges on rotating and moving surfaces.
Electro Static Technology manufactures the patent pending AEGIS SGR" shaft grounding brush for the electric motor and generator industry and is a division of Illinois Tool Works (ITW), a $12 billion multinational conglomerate operating in 44 countries.For more information, contact: Adam Willwerth, Sales and Marketing Manager, Electro Static Technology, 31 Winterbrook Road, Mechanic Falls, ME 04256, Toll-Free: 1-866-738-1857, TEL: (207) 998-3493, FAX: (207) 998-5140, sales @ est-aegis.com, www.est-aegis.com..
A Guide to Electric Wheelchairs
A wheelchair is a mobility device that enables a sick or a disabled person to move. It's basically a chair mounted on wheels, which can be propelled either manually or electrically. Wheelchairs propelled electronically are known as electric wheelchairs.Electric wheelchairs are powered by motors. They can be used indoors and outdoors and cost at least $1,500. Depending on the kind and extent of use, there are several kinds of wheelchairs available on the market.
Some features to consider when buying a wheelchair are the weight and size of the person using it, convenience of both indoor and outdoor use, the chair's weight capacity, power source, warranty and cost.Electric wheelchairs are generally used by people who have limited or no mobility due to many different ailments. Some people can be required to use a wheelchair because of old age, paralysis, weight, degenerating muscle diseases, broken or weak bones or other illnesses. Electric wheelchairs are easy to use because they...

Spam Control - The Internet Without It?
Every single day 30,000,000 emails are sent around the world. 50% of those emails are spam. Blue chip companies and even Governments are taking drastic measures in spam control. The most recent evidence of this is the Canspam Act which was passed by the US Senate early in 2004.If you look at what most people used the Internet for you'll find the vast majority of online activity is sending and receiving email. Email has become the lifeblood of modern society.
An interesting social experiment would be to see what happens to a group of young professional people who suddenly have all means of electronic communication taken away from them. Email has become as much a part of our lives as the electric lightbulb, air transport and mobile phones.What happens if we don't implement spam control globally? What would happen if all the mail server spam filters and regulations controlling spam were suddenly abolishesd? Chaos online! The online world would grind to a screeching halt as email...

What's the obvious difference between a Diesel engine and electric motor?
It isn't the power source as much as the vibration. California farmers in particular discovered this difference when market conditions forced a switch to Diesel engine instead of electric motors, to run the pumps that irrigate fields and orchards.
The farmers rapidly discovered how constant vibrations can damage connected equipment. A coupling helped dampen the vibrations, but the only style that fit their pumps were designed for marine applications ? built for a different industry and priced out of reach for an ordinary agricultural operation.???Price is an issue no more.

Taking the Ouch Out of Tech Support
(ContentDesk) October 11, 2005 -- With its offices in Camden Town - London, GadgetDoc provides consumers a utopian view of what tech support can be, when done right. Only using expert engineers who would normally get brought out as a third line of defence in most technical support services, GadgetDoc places a huge premium on something that is often forgotten in Technical Support - the customers valuable time. "Our customers are very busy people who have much better things to do with their time than to sit around waiting for the support line to pick up or for an engineer to arrive on time," said Babis Lagoussis, Sales Manager. GadgetDoc's revolutionary approach means that it places the onus on its engineers to get the work done on time and on budget. "We work on a fixed fee for success, meaning that if we do not fix your problem, we don't charge you.
