Bearing Protection Devices

Advanced Labyrinth and Magnetic Bearing Isolators for Maximum Reliability

Bearing Protection

AESSEAL® bearing protection devices help prevent moisture and particulate ingress, protect lubrication, and extend bearing life
across pumps, motors, gearboxes, plummer blocks, and steam turbines.

AVT Sealing Solutions supplies the LabTecta® and MagTecta™ ranges, engineered to deliver robust ingress protection,
non-contacting operation, and reliable performance in harsh environments.

Why Bearing Protection Matters

Contamination is one of the most common causes of bearing damage. Water and particulate ingress degrade lubrication,
accelerate wear, and shorten asset life. Modern bearing protection devices help prevent this before it starts.

~21%
of rotating equipment failures are linked to bearing contamination (provided source text).

Stops Water and Dust Ingress

Advanced designs can deliver ingress protection up to IP69K, helping keep moisture and particulate out of the bearing housing.

Non-Contacting Operation

Non-contacting designs protect the shaft and reduce wear, supporting longer service intervals without routine maintenance.

Cost-Effective Reliability Upgrade

Upgrading bearing protection is one of the simplest improvements you can make to reduce repeat failures and protect lubrication.

Stops Water and Dust Ingress

Ingress protection up to IP69K helps keep moisture and particulates out.

Non-Contacting Operation

Protects the shaft, reduces wear, and supports longer service life.

Reliability Upgrade

A simple improvement that reduces repeat failures and protects lubrication.

Product Families

AESSEAL® offers bearing protection devices engineered for most rotating equipment applications.
The LabTecta® and MagTecta™ ranges support improved contamination control and lubricant retention across diverse operating conditions.

LabTecta®

Labyrinth, non-contacting

LabTecta product image

An advanced labyrinth design offering IP66 as standard and up to IP69K with LabTecta OP.
The non-contacting design helps prevent shaft wear.

  • Breathes while running, seals when stopped
  • Designed to prevent ingress of water and particulates
  • Multiple variants for motors, extreme environments

MagTecta™

Magnetic face design

MagTecta product image

Uses magnetically energized sealing faces to protect against contamination and lubrication loss.
Especially suited to oil mist (pure mist) applications.

  • Protects from contamination and lubricant loss
  • Designed to fit where traditional lip seals fit
  • Non-wearing, no routine maintenance

LabTecta®
