AXEON Marathon Motor - Manual (Page 12)

4.2.4
LUBRICATION PROCEDURE:
(For Motors with Regreasing Provisions)
CAUTION: BEARING DAMAGE WARNING
Added grease must be compatible with the original equipment’s
grease. If a grease other than those stated in 4.2.1 is to be utilized
contact
the motor manufacturer. Nameplate information
supersedes section 4.2.1 (GREASE TYPE). New grease must be
free of dirt. Failure to follow these instructions and procedure
below may result in bearing and/or motor damage.
For an extremely dirty environment, contact the motor
manufacturer for additional information.
LUBRICATION PROCEDURE:
1. Clean the grease inlet plug or zerk fittings prior to regreasing.
2. (If present) Remove grease drain plug and clear outlet hole
blockage.
CAUTION: GREASE DRAIN PLUGGED :
Old grease may completely block the drain opening and must be
mechanically removed prior to regreasing. Forcing a blocked
drain open by increased greasing pressure may collapse bearing
shields and / or force excess grease through the bearings and
into the motor.
3. Add grease per Table 4-4
4. Re-install grease inlet and drain plugs (if removed).
WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD
Do NOT energize a Hazardous Locations motor without all grease
fittings properly installed.
4.2.5
EXAMPLE: LUBRICATION
Assume - NEMA 286T (IEC 180), 1750 RPM Vertical motor driving
an exhaust fan in an ambient temperature of 43° C and the
atmosphere is moderately corrosive.
1. Table 4-1 list 10,000 hours for standard conditions.
2. Table 4-2 classifies severity of service as “Severe” with a
multiplier of 0.5.
3. Table 4-3 lists a multiplier value of 0.5 for “Vertical”
4. (Eq. 4.2) Interval = 10,000 hrs x 0.5 x 0.5 = 2500 hrs
Table 4-4 shows that 1.5 in
3
of grease is to be added.
Relubricate every 2,500 hrs of service with 1.5 in
3
of
recommended grease.
