Bearing Protection

Downtime is lost money!  Everyone knows that, but how do increase the reliability of your rotating shaft driven equipment?  The best way is to prevent debris from getting into the bearings or the bearing lubricants from getting out of the system and causing failures. Standard lip seals work, but only up to a point, they can fail in weeks and months and the maintenance cost and lost run time can mean real money lost. Installing Inpro/Seal bearing protection systems will help ensure that you don’t have lost time due to premature bearing failures. As your authorized Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois distributor of Inpro/Seal products, PDC is committed to helping you find the right solution to your bearing protection needs!
