Shaft Grounding rings

The shaft grounding ring provides reliable protection for electric motor bearings by diverting stray currents generated by variable frequency drives (VFDs) and prevents electrical erosion. Robust, easy to integrate and compatible with standard bearings, the conductive ring offers a durable and cost-effective solution for protecting motor systems without compromising performance. It is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, from mobility to energy.

Main Benefits
  • Diverting eddy currents away from the bearings
  • Extending the service life of the bearings and the motor
  • Operating in dry or lubricated environments
  • Low friction for reduced shaft wear
  • Compact solution for easy integration
