Bearing-related problems are among the most common causes of motor failures. Solving those problems will reduce motor failures. Did you know bearing-related problems cause more than half of all motor ...

Motors make the HVAC world go ‘round — or, at the very least, in the HVAC business, they make the air go ‘round. And while some motors last for many years without any issues, others stop working ...

Electric motors fail more often than they should. Sometimes, it is not the motor’s fault. The real issue lies deep within—where current leaks through the bearings. That is where insulated bearings ...

All major manufacturers of three-phase ac induction motors offer “inverter-duty” or “inverter-ready” models, but while these motors have inverter-rated insulation to protect the windings, the bearings ...

Reliability and maintenance engineers are often given the task of improving the reliability of bearing arrangements in a variety of applications. Lubrication is a key area to explore for improvement ...

Loss of Lubricant - if the bearing is not re-greased at the appropriate interval, with the proper amount of grease, or if the oil is removed from the base of the grease by overheating, loss of ...

High efficiency motors can bring significant savings but if budgets won’t stretch to motor replacement, energy efficient bearings offer a powerful cost-saving alternative. Up to 80% of all electric ...

If someone told you that corporate was going to make sure you have enough resources to cut in half the cost of motor downtime by 50% in your plant, would you have a good laugh? Most maintenance ...

Nuclear power plants depend on electric motor-driven pumps to circulate coolant through a closed system of pipes to help dissipate excess heat. These machines, reactor coolant pumps (RCPs), must be ...
