Guidelines for regreasing intervals are:
20.000 - 40.000 duty hours for > 4 pole motors.
10.000 - 20.000 duty hours for 2 and 2/4 pole motors.
The shorter times are valid for larger frame sizes.
Motors fitted with grease nipples
Grease the motor while running and especially during
start-up for the first time.
If grease outlet plug fitted, remove temporarily when
greasing, or permanently with automatic greasing.
If the motor is fitted with a greasing information plate,
follow the values given, otherwise use values as fol-
lows.

The table is prepared for horizontally mounted motors.
Greasing intervals for vertical motors are half of the
above values.
The grease amount in the table is used if small quanti-
ties of fresh grease are replaced at regular intervals as
above.
The table values are based on 80° C bearing tempera-
ture. The values should be halved for every 15 K increase
in bearing temperature.
If the maximum bearing temperature is 70° C, the table
values may be doubled.
WARNING
The maximum operating temperature of the grease and
bearings must not be exceeded.
Higher speed operation, eg frequency converter appli-
cations, or slower speed with heavy loading will require
shortened greasing intervals. Consult Svend Høyer A/S
in such cases.
Typically a doubling of speed will require a reduction of
greasing intervals to approx. 40% of values tabulated
above.
Suitability of bearings for high speed operation must
also be checked.
Lubricants
When regreasing, use only special ball bearing grease
with the following properties:
•
good quality lithium base or lithium complex grease
•
base oil viscosity 100-140 cST at 40° C
•
consistency NLGI grade 2 or 3
•
temperature range -30° C - +120° C, continuously.
Grease with the correct properties are available from all
the major lubricant manufacturers.
If the make of grease is changed and compatibility is
uncertain, grease several times at short intervals in order
to displace the old grease.
Highly loaded and/or slowly rotating bearings require
EP-grease.
If greasing intervals are short due to bearing tempera-
tures of 80° C or above, use high temperature greases
which normally permit approximately 15 K higher bear-
ing temperatures.
If the surrounding temperature is below -25° C consult
Svend Høyer A/S regarding the possible use of low tem-
perature grease.
WARNING
Many greases can cause skin irritation and eye infla-
mation.
Follow all safety precautions specified by the manu-
facturer.
Spare parts
When ordering spare parts, the full type designation
and product code as stated on the rating plate must be
specified. If the motor is stamped with a serial manufac-
turing number, this should also be given.
