Advice for Greasing Electric Motors
|
|
|
|
When using an audible or ultrasonic grease gun attachment for lubricating motors, be sure the motor grease fitting tube and grease gun coupler do not touch the motor's rear fan bell section or coupling guard at the front. If any touching occurs in these areas, the bearing noise isn't likely to be the dominant sound heard or registered on the meter. For a true reading, you may need to snap the coupler to the Zerk and pull it away from the contact zone while greasing. A pistol-grip grease gun can make this easier. (Jerry Baker, Tate & Lyle)

Equipment downtime is often a direct result of some type of contamination, whether from dirt, water or an incorrect lubricant. Oil analysis testing can identify these contaminants, but unless you are aware of the issues that can arise from them, it can be difficult to take the appropriate actions.

There are numerous methods of applying lubricant to wire ropes. For machinery in which the rope can move, you may choose to use a drip, spray or trough technique. These methods apply lubricant at a single point and utilize the movement of the rope to spread the lubricant over the entire length of the system.
