L5010-L5809 frames intended for operation above 3600 rpm on VSD must be reviewed and approved by WEG
4: 364-L5809 frames: Bearing caps should be removed and cleaned of excess grease after 8800 hr
Procedure/warning:
-
With the motor shutdown, inject approximately half of the total grease quantity to be used and operate the motor for approxi
-
mately one (1) minute in full rotation speed.
- Shutdown the motor and inject the remaining grease. The injection of the entire amount of grease in an idle motor may cause
part of the lubricant to penetrate into the inner part of the motor through the internal sealing of the bearing cap.
- The lubrication interv
als specified consider an absolute temperature on the bearing of 149°F (65°C) the motor running at rated
speed, a motor mounted in horizontal position and greased with appropriate grease based on table above. Any variation of the
parameters listed above must be evaluated by WEG engineering.
- For each increment
of 27°F (15°C) above the bearing temperature, the relubrication intervals given in the Table must be halved.
For special applications such as: high and low temperatures, aggressive environments, vertical mounting position, etc., please
contact WEG about the required amount of grease and the relubrication intervals.
