Aegis Bearing Protection Rings SGR-1.375-UKIT Rings

The Aegis SGR-1.375-UKIT is a professional-grade bearing protection ring designed to safeguard HVACR motors from the destructive effects of electrical bearing damage. Engineered specifically for motors with a 1.375-inch shaft diameter and 213T or 215T NEMA frames, this u-kit shaft grounding ring utilizes patented Aegis Fiber Technology to safely channel harmful VFD-induced voltages away from the bearings and toward the ground. By mitigating EDM pitting and fluting, the SGR-1.375-UKIT ensures the long-term reliability of rotating equipment in commercial and industrial settings. This motor shaft grounding solution is essential for systems utilizing variable frequency drives, where high-frequency shaft voltages can lead to premature failure. This comprehensive bearing protection kit includes all necessary mounting hardware, providing a robust conductive path that maintains mechanical integrity and operational efficiency for critical HVAC infrastructure.

• Patented Fiber Technology: Features high-density conductive microfibers for superior current discharge.
• Extended Motor Life: Prevents catastrophic electrical breakdown and bearing fluting in VFD-driven motors.
• Versatile Mounting: The u-kit design allows for flexible installation on 213T and 215T frame motors.
• Maintenance-Free Performance: Engineered to provide continuous protection without the need for periodic adjustments.
• Reduced Downtime: Minimizes emergency repairs by eliminating the primary cause of electrical bearing failure.

Why is bearing protection necessary for VFD-controlled motors?
Variable frequency drives induce high voltages on the motor shaft; without a dedicated grounding path like the Aegis SGR, these voltages discharge through the bearings, causing surface pitting and mechanical noise.

Is the SGR-1.375-UKIT compatible with NEMA 213T and 215T frames?
Yes, this specific kit is optimized for 1.375-inch shafts commonly found on 213 and 215T frame motors, ensuring a precise fit and effective grounding.

Can this grounding ring be installed on existing motors?
Absolutely. The Aegis u-kit is designed for both new motor installations and field retrofits to upgrade localized bearing protection.
