Get a Handle on Grease Lubrication Confirm Proper Lubrication Using Sonic / Ultrasonic Monitoring Multiple frequency sonic/ultrasonic analysis can be effectively used to monitor the lubrication quality of greased bearings. These systems are typically the Achilles’ heel of the lubricant condition-monitoring program. As a proactive tool, ultrasonic lubrication monitoring can eliminate under/over greasing, common root […]
Grease Lubrication – Bearing Grease Lubrication Why grease lubrication? Properties Grease compatibility chart NLGI Grease consistency grading Why grease lubrication? Greases are typically applied in areas where a continuous supply of oil cannot be retained, such as open bearings or gears. Factors to be considered when selecting a suitable grease are operating temperatures, water resistance, […]
Adding Grease to Electric Motor Bearings Electric motors utilizing double shielded or double sealed bearings, which are typically of the lubricated-for-life design, usually do not require regreasing. On the other hand, all others, those being open or single shielded or sealed bearings, should be re-lubricated periodically to replace grease that has deteriorated, leaked away, or […]
Guide to Electric Motor Bearing Lubrication 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 Thermal fluids Hub customers, is intended to serve as a practical guide to the proper lubrication of electric motor bearings utilizing grease as a […]
Determining the Correct Amount of Grease For Electric Motor Bearing Determining the correct amount of grease for an electric motor bearing is one of the most important steps in initial greasing and in regreasing of the bearings. An insufficient amount of grease could lead to bearing failure due to lack of lubrication. On the other […]
