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.
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.
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.
