SGS CM series for the non-drive end of fractional horsepower motors



Axially driven system with 24/7 performance for 10 years at 1800rpm prior to needing a simple brush change that can be completed on the fly. Field installable with handheld tools and no need to uncouple equipment.



Available for fractional horsepower motors up to 2hp, below 182T frame sizes and in all frame enclosures. Also available for IEC motors. All SGSTM products are CE certified for the

European Union.





SGSTM CM Series installed onto the non-drive end of a 1hp, TEFC, VFD motor. The system is axially driven with its brush easily accessible while the motor is running. Infrequent brush checks or a change can be completed in just a few minutes. Like all SGSTM products, materials used are robust, industrial grade and corrosion resistant and are a must if long-term performance is required. This particular system is designed to not impede the motor fan's airflow.



CM Series application note:



The CM series system is designed to mount on the end of a shaft such as the opposite drive end (ODE) of small single shafted horizontal motors that have solid shafts such as those used on fans or pumps that do not have ODE accessories such as encoders. This requires a suitable flat surface on the ODE of the motor and no existing hole in the ODE motor shaft to permit the use of the standard 1/4 inch UNC rotor attachment bolt. If a hole exists, the diameter and thread of the hole must be specified so that the correct custom machined mounting arrangement can be supplied. Custom adaptation may affect price.


These kits fit motors with a hole in the ODE endbell surface less than 1.0 in. dia. and, the distance from the ODE end of the motor shaft to the outside surface of the motor between 0.0 in. and less than 2 inches.


The unit requires 3 inches of clearance at the ODE end of the motor. We suggest that approximately 6 inches of clearance from the ODE end of the motor be allowed for easy access for infrequent maintenance.


Installation requires access to remove the ODE endbell or fan cover and to drill and tap the ODE of the motor shaft, fan cover or endbell. This can be done in the field with hand held tools. The alignment tool is designed to reduce installation time and ensure proper alignment of the SGSTM rotor and body.


The SGSTM patented CM shaft grounding system is designed to control shaft-to-frame capacitive discharge through bearings by providing a single low impedance pathway from the shaft to the frame. These systems are not explosion proof rated. If eddy currents are present, which is unlikely except in AC motors with 100 or more horsepower at 1200rpm or less OR on motors 200hp or greater regardless of rpm and no motor bearing is insulated, then two shaft grounding systems should be installed to pass the eddy current around both motor bearings while also controlling the capacitive discharge. If the ODE motor bearing is insulated to control eddy current, then one shaft grounding system can be used at the DE (i.e., SR series split ring) non-insulated bearing to control the shaft-to-frame capacitive discharge. If two insulated bearings are used, then a DE shaft grounding system should be used to control for potential eddy currents. A single insulated bearing will not control capacitive discharge through the non-insulated bearings. Please call to discuss applications where both eddy currents and capacitive discharge are believed to be present.



unique features



30+ YEARS OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TO BRING YOU THE ONLY LONG-TERM FIX FOR
ELECTRICAL BEARING DAMAGE



Field installable
with handheld tools and
no need to uncouple equipment



Fully maintainable on the fly
and is a must to achieve cost
effective long-term performance



Gold standard carbon brush design
that is fully sealed from the environment
allowing 10 years at 1800rpm of 24/7 operation prior to needing a quick brush change that is done on the fly



Constructed from heavy duty,
corrosion resistant materials. Why
would you use a light duty design for
your heavy duty motor?



Available in fully sealed body for ODP/OPSB/TEAO frame enclosures where the bearing cavity needs to be protected



Dirty environment? No problem. As seen above, the grounding systems takes the brunt of the environment while the brush running surface is fully sealed, clean and maintaining path of least resistance for the long-term.



Just like the CR Series, the CM Series is appropriate for clean room environments. Particulate testing showed the motor the grounding system was installed on was putting out more particulate than the CR Series. Having a sealed running surface allows the CR Series to be best in class at shaft grounding performance.



Long-term performance is about achieving and MAINTAINING shaft voltages below 3v. SGS devices not only achieve this out of the box, but it's the only device that can actually maintain out-of-box performance for the long-term. All grounding devices slow down electrical bearing damage, but only SGS can truly eliminate it for the long-term.
