a complete guide to electric motor regreasing
Lastly, it’s important to choose the right lubricant—not all greases are the same and using the wrong type can lead to premature bearing failure. Ask your supplier about a grease that is specifically designed for electric motors, which is different from multipurpose extreme purpose (EP) grease.Ары қарай оқу -
Develop a Preventative Maintenance Schedule
Before you proceed with greasing your motor bearings, it’s essential to create an effective preventative maintenance (PM) system. Here are some key factors to consider when setting up a PM systemАры қарай оқу -
6 Ways to Improve Electric Motor Lubrication for Better Bearing Reliability
As the “life blood” of your plant’s operation, electric motors require special lubrication considerations. The theoretical design life of an electric motor is 20 years or more. Yet many tens of thousands of industrial electric motors end up in the trash pile prematurely. This results in an enormous loss for industries across the board.Ары қарай оқу -
How and When Do I Properly Lubricate My Bearings?
Proper bearing lubrication is key to keeping your motor running correctly. Lubrication separates rolling surfaces to reduce wear, removes excess heat generated by friction, acts as a barrier to contaminants, provides corrosion inhibition, and helps retain rolling elements during assembly. More than 50% of all bearing failure is due to improper lubrication! If that’s not a good reason to pay attention to the rest of this article, I don’t know what is.Ары қарай оқу -
How Often to Grease Motor Bearings
Since maintaining your bearings by greasing them is so important, how often should it be done? The manufacturer of the motor and the manufacturer of the bearing will have a specific recommended greasing schedule. The intervals between greasing will be specific to the motor load, run time, and ambient temperature.Ары қарай оқу -
Rolling-element bearings design and applications
Rolling-element bearings are also called antifriction bearings, as they have lower friction and reduced lubrication requirements compared to plain bearings. Their role is to support and to guide rotating and oscillating machine elements, such as shafts, wheels or axels, and to transfer loads between the different components of an assembly.Ары қарай оқу -
Classification of bearings
Bearings can be classified based on different criteria, such as design and operating mode, allowed motion or direction of load. From a design perspective, bearings can be classified into:Ары қарай оқу -
Know Components, Types and Applications
Roller bearings are essential components used in various mechanical applications to reduce friction and enable smooth rotational motion. These bearings are designed to distribute the load over a larger surface area, making them ideal for handling both radial and axial loadsАры қарай оқу -
