Morgan AM&T wins AEGIS™ International Distributor of the Year Award
Morgan AM&T are proud to be awarded the International Distributor of the Year 2010 accolade, presented by Electro Static Technology for outstanding sales and superior customer service of the AEGIS™ bearing protection Ring.
“We rely on our distributors to deliver both expert advice in solving bearing current issues with AEGIS™ technology and exceptional customer service.” said Adam Willwerth, EST's Sales & Marketing Manager, “The key to success is having in-depth knowledge of your products and customer needs and offering the right solution.”
Morgan AM&T has been an exclusive AEGIS™ distributor in Europe and Australia since 2005 and continues to expand worldwide. Their highly trained staff has focused on after market and OEM solutions in many applications such as rail, specialty machines, and HVAC/R.
“Morgan AM&T are delighted to receive this award as we pride ourselves on our exceptional customer service,” explains European Product Manager, Martin Deiss. “We have been established in the market for over 150 years and have a strong global footprint, coupled with the material expertise, application experience and a product range that can make the difference to our customer’s system performance.”
AEGIS™ technology is designed for use when variable frequency drives (VFDs) are used to control electric motors. The VFD induces destructive voltages on the motor shaft which discharge through the motor bearings or bearings in attached equipment. These discharges cause fusion craters on the bearing race walls. Over time, this can lead to noise, vibration, bearing failure, and catastrophic motor failure.
The AEGIS™ shaft grounding ring channels these harmful VFD-induced shaft currents safely to ground. Unlike conventional grounding brushes, the SGR is maintenance-free and works with virtually no friction or wear for the service life of the motor.
Morgan AM&T provides high volume, high quality solutions and is the reliable partner of choice. They ensure that they support the customer at every level, from design through to operations. This is achieved not only through their in-house technical resources but also from their significant investment in their materials process and finishing sites worldwide. Morgan AM&T’s manufacturing locations have been, and continue to be, engaged in a rigorous Operational Excellence Programme, which incorporates a strong ‘best-in-class’ culture.
