BREATHE EASY!

The new AirMax Pro Smart Breather from Regal Rexnord is designed to keep gearboxes running longer by utilizing Perceptiv connected technology to monitor gearbox status in real time. Developed to prevent leading causes of gearbox failure caused by lubricant contamination or corrosion inside the box due to abrasion, erosion, fatigue and corrosive wear, the AirMax Pro Smart Breather extends the life of industrial lubricants by preventing contamination with desiccant breathers; removes contaminants with filtration systems; and detects lubricant problems with visual oil analysis. In addition, the breather detects and records any unusual spikes in humidity and water ingress by integrating with Regal Rexnord’s Perceptiv connected technology, which uses Cloud-based technology to track, report, communicate and share performance data—enabling users to monitor the status of their equipment through a variety of modules, sensors, and other connected products with early detection of system upsets.
