Electrically insulated deep groove ball bearings, as core components, effectively block current paths to protect critical rotating machinery from VFD-induced shaft currents. This prevents electro-erosion damage, extends bearing life, reduces maintenance costs, and ensures continuous and stable equipment operation under harsh conditions.
In pump motors/rotor shafts under long-term operation or scenarios with pump-driven variable frequency drives, shaft voltage can also cause bearing electrical erosion. Many pump manufacturers use insulated bearings at the motor end or rotor/pump cavity bearing positions to protect the bearings. For example, Grundfos's CR (vertical multistage) series uses the 6216C3 bearing as an accessory. The insulating coating of the 6216/C3VL0241 bearing can minimize the risk of current passing through the bearing, helping the bearing reduce downtime under harsh conditions such as water treatment or chemical processing, especially in supporting high-pressure fluid handling in industrial and municipal water supply systems.
