The perfect operating environment for bearings is contaminant-free, low-humidity, have moderate fluctuating temperature, and no vibration.Waca liyane -
How to Choose an Electric Motor Bearing Grease
Anywhere machinery is found, there's an electric motor converting electrical energy to mechanical energy and the machinery around it. Since they are so commonplace and play such an important role in industry, the proper lubrication of electric motors is critical to efficient equipment operation.Waca liyane -
How to choose grease for electric motor bearing
Grease is frequently used to lubricate electric motor bearings because of its simplicity of application and unique characteristics. When determining the proper grease for your application, considerWaca liyane -
Bearing failures are the major cause of electric motor downtime, repair and replacement costs
Our experience in our facility along with industry research involving grease manufacturers, bearing manufacturers, motor manufacturers, our industry’s technical association, and engineering companies input can shed some light on this plight. The major problems are the type of grease, the proper application of the grease, and the frequency of application.Waca liyane -

Greasing Electric Motors Part 1
The lubrication of electric motors can be a critical maintenance practice for improved motor system reliability. Unfortunately, a significant amount of misinformation is provided within industry. For instance, those with a lack of knowledge of how motors and bearing work will often promote the ‘purging’ of motor grease, frequently. This practice puts undue stress on the motor, reducing its life and increasing the chance for both bearing failure and winding contamination.Waca liyane -
Guide to Electric Motor Bearing Lubrication
The proper lubrication of electric motor bearings is essential to maintaining them in peak operating condition and, ultimately, in reducing unnecessary downtime. This bulletin, for Applied thermal fluids customers, is intended to serve as a practical guide to the proper lubrication of electric motor bearings utilizing grease as a lubricant.Waca liyane -
Types of grease in motor bearings
The lesson here is to select the right grease for the application. An electric motor in an Arizona open-pit copper mine where the ambient temperature is 130 F requires different grease than an identical motor in the Arctic Circle.Waca liyane -
Lubrication Strategies for Electric Motor Bearings
The proprietary in-house statistics of a number of petrochemical plants in the United States indicate that approximately 60 percent of all motor difficulties originate with bearing troubles. If a bearing defect is allowed to progress to the point of failure, far more costly motor rewinding and extensive downtime will often result.Waca liyane
