Is your motor squealing or do you hear grinding noises? It may be time to replace the bearing. Bearing failure is a leading cause of electric motor downtime. They minimize friction and support the motor shaft, making them crucial for optimal performance.
When replacing your bearing, find the catalogue number on the side of the bearing or consult your motor nameplate.
Ensure you select the ideal bearing for your application.
✅ Rolling element bearings enable high speeds with minimal power loss.
✅ Sealed or shielded bearings offer protection in contaminated or wet environments, ideal for washdown applications.
✅ Insulated bearings prevent electrical damage from VFDs, extending the motor service life. These are recommended if your application includes a VFD.
Regular maintenance is key to extending the life of your bearing and motor. For the tutorial in greasing your bearings, watch this video: • How to Grease your Electric Motor Bearings
