Bearings are a critical element of electric motors. They facilitate even load handling, reduce friction, provide shaft support, and enhance the reliability and longevity of rotating components. However, without proper installation, operation, and maintenance, bearings can become damaged or fail. Here, we’ll go over some of the most common causes of bearing failure and how to prevent them.Lees verder -
how to check if an electric motor is going bad
For centuries, we’ve seen tremendous innovation in industrial operations. Our ancestors worked diligently to find solutions to the sluggish processes they experienced, which ultimately led us to the development of motors and automation. Today, countless companies rely on electric motors to make their operations more efficient. While motors have certainly made significant improvements to the operations of businesses, companies also must maintain their motors to avoid downtime. In order to prevent future downtime and inefficiencies, you must know how to check if an electric motor is going bad. If you know how and what to look for in a motor, you can take action early and prevent your motor from going down and potentially getting damaged. If you’d like to learn more, you can read our comprehensive guide below.Lees verder -
What are Rod Bearings? Causes & Symptoms of Failure Explained
An engine rod bearing is a split-sleeve type of bearing (meaning it has two separate semicircular halves or shelves) that keeps the crankshaft and connecting rod in place as they rotate.Lees verder -
Diagnosing Electrical Bearing Damage
When an electric motor bearing fails prematurely, you should try to determine why it failed. If you don't, you run the risk of repeated failure. And if one unexpected failure is bad, one after another is a lot worse.Lees verder -
