Rotating machinery guards offer flexibility
July 1st 2008 Compliant with international
safety standards and easy
to adapt to individual
applications, the Falk 'Orange
Peel' rotating machinery guard
from Rexnord offers engineers a
cost-effective solution for original
and retrofit installations that is
backed by a 3-year warranty.
The Orange Peel rotating
machinery guard (couplings,
pumps and so on) complies with
OSHA, ASME and ANSI standards.
It is available in different design
configurations, all of which can be
tailored on site to fit applications.
Made in either polyethylene or
aluminium, the guards can be
easily trimmed to size following
pre-formed cutting guides in the
body and projecting shaft sleeves.
This permits accurate adjustments
to be made to both height and
width. Further flexibility is provided
by bolt-on pedestal risers that
allow height to be increased.
Another major feature of the
Orange Peel guard is the easy
access it permits for lubrication,
inspection and maintenance. This
is achieved simply by peeling
away the guard's panels which
can be hinged either at the top or
at the base of the assembly. More articles from Rexnord NV UK: |
