Homeowners and hobbyist alike, who have lathes or milling machines with a 3 phase motor, usually don't have 3 phase power to operate. These VFDs (instead of using a rotary phase converter) can now be used to convert single phase power to 3 phase power. Read more »
The AEGIS® SGR Bearing Protection Ring prevents electrical bearing fluting damage Equipment by safely diverting harmful shaft voltages and bearing currents to ground. Using proprietary electron Transport Technology™ the conductive microfibers™ inside the AEGIS® SGR provide the most reliable current diversion technology for shaft grounding with a "path of least resistance" to dramatically extend motor life. AEGIS® SGR Rings have a warranty of 1 year.
