I was under the impression that most motors in common use have sealed bearings without provision for re-greasing. Certainly every motor I have seen other than old plain bearing motors. I always thought bearings mostly fail from contamination (dirt, water) and improper loading (too much belt pull, high imbalance etc). How common is greasing motor bearings in industry? Does someone know?
Third option quite alot cheaper is nano crystalline Emf Cores stops the common mode current at the source protecting motor insulation. Grounding rings and insulated bearings don't offer this protection. 3Phi
how can I build a sacrifical ciol test lab ??,, Here in Colombia we´re preforming copper coil to medium voltage motor. We want to improve our process and i'm thinking about creating a secure test lab. Thank you for the help
These electric motors were designed to fail. Why restore a failed design instead of redesigning it not to fail. Ball bearings aren't needed in the complete design. The whole design should be magnetic. Magnetic rotational field should be the only mode of operation.
I have solved numerous case studies like that. Most had similar foundation issues (1X horizontal was 3-8 times 1X vertical). After grouting, vibration reduced by 90-95% .
You can see it on the nameplate below. Amount of grease. But normally 3 to 5 stroke is enough every 6 months. But bearing is cheap so change it every year simple and easy.
