Effective lubrication key to smooth operation of electric motors
SPONSORED POST (Virtual Showroom): Lubrication improvements are said to significantly increase the reliability of electric motors and premature motor failure can most often be attributed to bearing failure because of inefficient lubrication.
Lubricants have a finite lifespan and re-lubrication is essential for long-term motor reliability, however, manual re-lubrication can be ineffective. Human error can lead to problems such as the application of the wrong grease, applying too much grease, or not lubricating all areas consistently. Manual greasing is also usually undertaken while equipment is stopped, so the motor is cold. Under these conditions older and colder grease may block the entry of new grease into the bearing and the grease may instead move into the motor internals.
GreaseMax continuous lubrication prevents the problems that arise because of manual re-lubrication. The solution offers the best lubrication results for improved bearing life. In addition, allowing for the re-greasing of a motor while it is running leads to a more effective and controlled result.
GreaseMax improves bearing life and reduces the possible application of excess grease and contamination of the motor internals. Using GreaseMax also ensures that the correct grease is used and reduces the potential of foreign matter contamination from dirty grease nipples or inconsistent lubricant application.
