TKED 1 Electrical Discharge Detector
The SKF Electrical Discharge Detector Pen (EDD Pen) is a simple to use hand held instrument for detecting electrical discharges in electric motor bearings. Electrical discharges are a result of motor shaft voltages discharging to earth through the bearing, causing electrical erosion, lubricant degradation and ultimately bearing failure.
Features and Benefits
Remote solution allows operation at a distance from the motors
Capable of detecting electrical discharges on a time base of 10 seconds, 30 seconds or indefinite
LED backlit screen
IP55 can be used in most industrial environments
Product Application Information
Electric motors are more vulnerable to suffer electrical erosion in bearings when controlled by a Variable Frequency Drive. When incorporated into a predictive maintenance programme, the EDD Pen can help detect bearings more susceptible to failure, and significantly prevent unplanned machine downtime.
Bearing Mounting, Dismounting and Inspection Tools
Bearing tools help maintain maximum bearing service life and help to optimise machine performance. In addition, bearing tools contribute to the overall safety and performance of a system. A range of bearing tools are available from SKF that include bearing pullers, bearing mounting and dismounting tools, bearing heaters, manual and automatic bearing lubricators, inspection equipment including bearing electrical discharge detectors, stroboscopes, alignment tools, protection blankets, infrared thermometers, and shim kits. Certain bearing tools are available in kit form.
