Rolling bearings and seals in electric motors and generators

Rolling bearings in electric machines The purpose of using rolling bearings in electric machines is to support and locate the rotor to keep the air gap small and consistent and to transfer loads from the shaft to the motor frame The bearings should enable high and low speed oper-ations min i mize friction and save power The designer has

BEARING FAILURES AND THEIR CAUSES INTRODUCTION

bearing failures can be attributed to one or more of the following causes: 1 Defective bearing seats on shafts and in housings 2 Misalignment 3 Faulty mounting practice 4 Incorrect shaft and housing fits 5 Inadequate lubrication 6 Ineffective sealing 7 Vibration while the bearing is not rotating 8 The passage of electric current

The Three Mistakes of Bearing Lubrication

By avoiding three common mistakes when greasing bearings you can predict the right time to grease know how much grease to apply and be confident in the bearing's overall health Mistake 1 – Lubricating Is Based on Time instead of Condition Lubricating a bearing once per week or once per month may seem like a sensible thing to do

Types Of Electric Motors and their Applications

Sep 15 2019Analog electric meters (i e galvanometer ammeter voltmeter) operate on the motor principle Electric motors are an important application of the motor principle Construction An electric motor consists of a permanent external field magnet (stator) and a coiled conducting ammeter (rotor) which is free to rotate within the field magnet
