In a typical oil mist application, atomized lubricant is injected into the bearing housing; without proper sealing, it will escape into the environment through the shaft ends. With the OM 32 Series oil mist bearing isolator, the lubricant is coalesced to a liquid and drains back into a sump or researvoir. The bearing isolators consist of a rotor and stator, unitized so they do not separate during use, which interact to keep contamination out of the bearing enclosure and the oil mist contained. The OM 32 is made entirely of non-sparking bronze and has no contacting surfaces that could heat up and ignite volatile materials in the area. Unlike contact seals, bearing isolators do not wear out.
