3-2 Maintenance & Troubleshooting

MN409

Bearing Lubrication

Depending on the application and rating, the motor is equipped with either anti

friction or sleeve type

bearings. When properly cared for (ie., inspection and lubrication) bearings will provide years of

uninterrupted service. Use one of the following lubrication procedures, depending on the type of bearings

with which your motor is equipped.

Anti

Friction Bearing (Grease Lubricated)

G

Series AC motors are designed with the Baldor direct grease system which routes new grease directly

into the bearing.
The relubrication periods shown in Table 3-2 are offered as a guide for varying service conditions,

speeds, bearing types and operating hours.
Cleanliness is important in lubrication. Any grease used to lubricate anti

friction bearings should be fresh

and free from contamination. Similarly, care should be taken to properly clean and grease inlet areas of

the motor to prevent grease contamination.
Mixing of lubricants must not be done. Lubricants from different manufacturers and of different

compositions may not be compatible, resulting in inadequate lubrication and bearing failure. If a lubricant

other than that listed on the motor nameplate and/or this instruction manual is desired to be used, first

consult your local Baldor District office for approval and instructions. Do not use automotive greases,

greases with EP additives or greases other than those specifically listed on the motor lubrication

nameplate and this instruction manual. Failure to follow these instructions may result in lubrication

breakdown and bearing failure.

Recommended Lubricant

Refer to motor nameplate. Use only clean, fresh grease from clean containers.

A high grade ball or roller bearing polyurea base hydrocarbon grease should be used.  

Recommended grease for standard service conditions is 

Polyrex EM (Exxon Mobil)

Do not mix greases unless compatibility has been checked and verified. 

Contact your Baldor District Office if you have compatibility questions.
Equivalent and compatible greases include: 

Texaco Polystar, Rykon Premium #2, Pennzoil Pen 2 Lube and Chevron SRI.

1. Select Service Conditions from Table 3-1.
2. Select Lubrication Frequency and recommended volume fill from Table 3-2.
