Industrial motors are required to operate in harsh environments characterised by high temperatures and high levels of contamination. Issues such as stray currents can also affect the motor’s uptime.

By analysing operating conditions and selecting and implementing appropriate solutions, you can significantly improve motor reliability.

Designing and maintaining a more reliable motor

Avoid unplanned downtime with appropriate predictive maintenance methods. Condition monitoring is key to maintaining reliable operation, as it not only helps you reduce the risk of costly failures, but also allows you to order parts in advance, schedule personnel and arrange repairs.

Lubrication and sealing solutions to reduce maintenance requirements

With the development of comprehensive motor performance monitoring, motor maintenance now includes the lubrication of bearings. Over 40% of increased maintenance costs are linked to poor lubrication. Therefore, selecting the appropriate lubrication solution is crucial, as this reduces wear and extends bearing service life. 

Everyone expects motors to operate quietly. To achieve this, the selection of bearings and their cage materials, lubricants and internal clearance is crucial. The noise levels of our deep groove ball bearings are already very low. However, they can be reduced even further.

Appropriate dimensions and geometric tolerances for the motor shaft, bearing housings and end caps can minimise bearing misalignment, further helping to reduce noise levels. Our specially designed deep groove ball bearings for electric motors can be applied in a wide range of scenarios to meet your specific requirements.

Our bearings, seals and lubrication solutions for motors in specific applications help to improve motor performance, maintain equipment profitability and save long-term costs, reduce energy consumption, prevent bearing corrosion from stray currents, and improve speed and rotational control. Whether your objective is to whether it is to reduce friction, vibration and noise levels, improve operational precision, or increase load and speed ratings, our motor solutions, products and services—utilising ultra-clean steel and unique heat treatment processes—can help you achieve these goals.
