Magtecta - The Original Double Face Bearing Protector
 • Eliminate over 50% of bearing failures
• Improve your plant uptime
• Reduce premature bearing failures
• Reduce your maintenance costs MagTecta™ — Magnetic Face Seal Design
The Original Double Face Bearing Protector
After many years of research and development, AESSEAL® is proud
to offer products which, in its opinion, are probably the most
technologically advanced bearing protectors in the world.
The designs combine the latest AESSEAL® “pure innovation”
with its world-leading, customer orientated, “modular” concept.
From the company which brought to market probably the first
modular cartridge mechanical seal range, there is now another
world first – a modular dual face seal bearing protector range.
Reversible design. TXS (Thin Cross-Section)
or LXS (Large Cross Section) designs available.
MagTecta-OM™ — Oil Mist Applications
The Modern API Compliant and Environmentally Friendly Option
In most modern day refineries, oil mist is the preferred method of bearing
lubrication. Many refineries however, rely upon labyrinth technology
which requires the oil mist to leak out and contaminate the
surrounding area. In many parts of the world, this practice is not
viewed as environmentally acceptable.
Because labyrinth seals leak, refineries usually over-compensate
the supply of oil mist, by a factor of four to maintain pressure.
This means wasted energy and loss of oil mist, both of which
are expensive.
The MagTecta-OM™ is designed specifically for oil mist recirculation
applications: Minimizing leakage into the environment so there is no need
for over compensation of oil mist supply. Costs are therefore reduced. The MagTecta-OM™
is also suitable for use on oil splash lubrication, especially at higher shaft speeds.
The MagTecta-OM™ cannot be used if the oil mist system is designed to leak through
a labyrinth seal and pollute the environment.
API Compliant
API 610 (ISO 13709) is considered by many to be the premium equipment specification
for centrifugal pumps in the petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries.
Since the 10th edition the standard recognizes the need for proper bearing protection:
5.10.2.7 “Bearing housings shall be designed to prevent contamination by moisture, dust
and other foreign matter. Bearings shall be equipped with replaceable type labyrinth
or magnetic type seals. Lip-seals shall not be used.”
Non-reversible design.
