(Only 4 minutes long!)
Below are the steps and instructions found in the video.
- List of tools and supplies needed
- Personal Protective Equipment
- Where to install - DE (all motors) and NDE (TEFC motors)
- Removing the paint from the motor's end bracket
- Cleaning the motor shaft to bare metal where the AEGIS microfibers touch
- Apply AEGIS Colloidal Silver Shaft Coating (CS015) to the motor shaft - Allow to dry before installing the ring
- Use only AEGIS Conductive Epoxy (EP2400) - Tested and proven
- Mix even amounts of the EP2400 - Mix thoroughly!
- Apply the mixed epoxy to the metal back of the AEGIS Ring
- Install the AEGIS Ring to the motor's end bracket - Ensure metal-to-metal contact!
- Make sure the AEGIS ring is centered around the shaft - look for an even gap all around the ring near the shaft
- The epoxy cures in four hours at or above 75°F (24°C), or 10 minutes with a heat gun
Remove paint for a clean metal surface.
