Keep Grease Out of Motor Windings
|
|
|
|
Before greasing motor bearings, install a pressure-sensitive grease-fill fitting that will not allow the cavity to be pressurized beyond 20 pounds per square inch (psi). This will minimize excessive pressure on the bearing shield and seal. Also, install a grease relief valve fitting to take the place of the grease drain plug. The grease relief valve will open between 1 and 5 psi and will minimize the overpressurization of the grease cavity. This saves time in removing and reinstalling the grease drain plug. (Augie Mendoza, Showa Denko Carbon)

While a great deal of information on lubrication management is available on the internet, there are few standards that actually govern or provide specific ways for maintaining or running an effective program.

Identifying Contaminants in Oil
|
|
|
From the "Wear Particle Atlas":
Most oil, taken clean from the can or drum, contains varying amounts of particulate matter. Certainly, any oil intended for diluting samples must be carefully filtered. Good results can be obtained by filtering through a surface-type filter with a pore size of about 0.4 microns. The damage to machinery resulting from clean oil contaminants depends mainly on how hard the contaminant particles are, how large they are, their quantity, and, of course, how critical the application is.

Lube identification tags have been employed for years to guarantee the right lubricant is put in the right place. However, few organizations utilize these tags to their full potential, while some fail to use them at all.
