Have you ever had an electric motor failure? If so, poor lubrication may be to blame. In this 60 minute live online training session you will learn how to select the right grease, calculate the correct amount of lubricant to use, calculate time intervals for relubrication, apply what you've learned to a case study example, and much more. Armed with this new information, you will be able to immediately make a positive difference in your lubrication program.
Get answers to these questions:
- Should motor bearing be greased when running?
- Should single-point or centralized grease lubrication systems be used with motor bearings?
- How many pumps of a grease gun are required to properly lubricate an electric motor bearing?
- How often should motor bearings be lubricated?
- Is there any risk of incompatibility between polyurea grease brands?
How important is proper motor bearing lubrication? Consider what can happen when a motor bearing is overgreased:
Excess grease leaks out of bearing seals and deposits on the stator and rotor windings. This grease creates a thermal barrier between the windings and their cooling air, leading to increased motor temperature. When dust and dirt adhere and build up on this grease, motor temperatures can skyrocket causing the winding insulation to deteriorate and "short out" the motor. It just takes a 10 degree C increase in motor temperature to cut the motor's life in half.
Overgreasing causes a "churning" action of ball bearings within their housing, increasing the temperature of the grease and bearings. This can lead to lubrication failure and a reduction in bearing hardness and a subsequent bearing failure. It can lead to the inner race heating up, slipping on the shaft, misalignment, and shorting out of the motor windings.
Three main benefits of attending...
- Lube technicians will have a clear understanding of why proper motor bearing lubrication is critical.
- You'll reduce motor failures, downtime, rebuilds and replacement costs.
- You'll replace old-time lubrication procedures with vendor-neutral, best practice procedures that work.
