How to lubricate an electric motor?

The steps for lubricating an electric motor typically include the following major steps:

Preparation: Before starting lubrication, make sure the electric motor has stopped and disconnected from the power supply. Prepare the required grease or oil and the corresponding tools.

Determine lubrication points: Based on the electric motor's design and manufacturer's instructions, determine the parts and lubrication points that need lubrication. This typically includes components such as bearings, gearboxes, transmissions, etc.

Clean lubrication points: Use a cleaning cloth or brush to clean the surface around the lubrication points to ensure there is no dust, dirt or other impurities that could contaminate the lubricant.

Choose a lubricant: Choose a suitable grease or oil based on the electric motor's requirements and manufacturer's recommendations. Make sure the lubricant selected meets the working environment and operating conditions of the motor.

Inject lubricant: Inject an appropriate amount of lubricant into the lubrication points. The amount of lubricant can be determined according to the manufacturer's recommendations and ensure that the lubricant adequately covers the lubrication points.

Run the motor: After lubrication is complete, start the electric motor and let it run for a few minutes to ensure that the lubricant can fully lubricate the lubrication points and run smoothly.

Check the lubrication effect: After running for a period of time, stop the electric motor and check whether there is lubricant leakage or overflow around the lubrication points, and whether the lubricant fully covers the lubrication surface.

Record maintenance: After completing the lubrication work, promptly record the lubrication time, lubricant type and amount and other information in order to track the maintenance history and formulate the next maintenance plan.

How should we solve problems such as poor contact, open circuit, short circuit, etc. in the circuit part of the electric motor?

To deal with problems such as poor contact, open circuit, short circuit, etc. in the electric motor circuit part, you need to take the following steps:

Disconnect power: Always disconnect power to the electric motor for safety before performing any inspection or repair.

Check the wiring: Check whether the wiring of the electric motor is correctly connected and whether there is looseness or poor contact. Reconnect or tighten loose wiring.

Troubleshooting a short circuit: Use a multimeter or circuit test instrument to check for a short circuit in the circuit. Locate and eliminate any faulty components or wiring causing the short circuit.

Repair a break: If you find a break in an electrical circuit, first identify the location of the break and repair the disconnected wire or connector. It may be necessary to resolder connections or replace damaged parts.

Clean the contact points: If there is poor contact, you can use a cleaner or eraser to clean the contact points to ensure good contact. Inspect and repair damaged connectors or contacts.

Check Fuses: Check for blown fuses in the circuit and replace damaged fuses if necessary.

Check and replace components: Check whether capacitors, relays, switches and other components in the circuit are working properly, and replace damaged or aging components if necessary.

Reconnect the circuit: After troubleshooting the problem, reconnect power to the electric motor and test it. Make sure the circuit is working properly and observe if there are any abnormalities.

Carry out tests and commissioning: Restart the electric motor and carry out tests and commissioning to ensure that all functions are functioning properly. Check for abnormal noise, vibration, or temperature abnormalities.
