Topic: Bearing Isolators
Dear All,
I have been looking into bearing isolators and am finding there is a older and patented design that is based on a single O-ring.
I see that there is a newer more recent innovation from across the pond that includes 2 O-rings creating a wider surface.
Can you contribute anything to my research such as:
What failures do you find on either of these isolators?
Are the old style isolators still popular simply because they are written in to so many purchasing specs?
Is the dual O-Ring model really innovation in terms of performance (it makes sense to me - but that does not qualify it)?
Anything else you can add would be most appreciated.

Hidden Benefits of Lubricant Consolidation
An iPresentation Tutorial by Scott Leipprandt, Lubrication Engineers, Inc.
Imagine an industrial plant with numerous pieces of equipment operating to complete their production processes. In most cases a plant uses a large number of lubricants to reduce friction in the equipment to keep it running smoothly. Assume this same plant has yet to implement a Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) program. One of the first critical steps in implementing an effective RCM program is to perform a Reliability Assessment. Lubricant consolidation can provide various RCM program benefits. This 5 minute iPresentation tutorial covers the Reliability Assessment that often reveals opportunities for lubricant consolidation.

PdM Centralization for Significant Energy Savings
By Dale P. Smith, CMRP
This paper focuses on how the successful integration of standard Predictive Maintenance (PdM) technologies along with centralized reporting can capture significant energy savings and simplify ROI calculations - and, by the way, any associated benefits of increased safety, reliability and enhanced facility capacity are purely coincidental.
