Here’s a look at some basic tips for keeping your electric motor in great condition.
Moisture Control
To prevent rust, it’s important that condensation doesn’t build up within interior motor parts. You can help to prevent this issue by using grease that is manufactured with a rust prevention substance.
Proper Lubrication
While you of course don’t want your electric motor to be under-lubricated, it’s also very important that you don’t over-lubricate it. If you over-lubricate bearings, then grease/oil could get into windings and cause insulation to break down. You can use ultrasonic or acoustical monitoring to help ensure that you don’t apply an excessive amount of grease. The acoustical signal will inform you when the bearings are properly lubricated.
Minimize Vibrations
If you store your electric motor in a place where it is regularly exposed to vibrations, then those vibrations may send grease away from areas where it’s needed. Consequently, there could be harsh friction when your motor is next used.
Maintenance Log
It’s a good idea to keep detailed maintenance records so that you’re sure you know what tasks have been completed and when they’ll next need to be done. And if at some point you want to sell your electric motor, meticulous maintenance records will be appealing to prospective buyers.
