8.2.
Moisture
Motors, which are not often run, should be started from time to time to prevent moisture
affecting the windings in the long term. Not concern motors with AC Heaters fitted.
8.3.
Wear & vibration
To prevent abnormal wear & vibration, one should:
a.
take care that the tension of the belt or the chain is not too high;
b.
check whether the mounting of directly coupled machines is correct;
c.
Check whether the foundation bolts the bolts to fasten the motor and the slide rails are
tight.
8.4.
Greasing
Before they leave the factory, the bearings of the OMEC motors are filled with a high
quality Lithium base grease.
The sizes 56 up to and including 250 are provided with shielded/sealed bearings (ZZ-
C3), which have been filled with life-time grease by the manufacture of the bearings.
Motors with sealed bearings and no re-lubrication system require no
maintenance other than checking for noise & temperature during their lifetime.
Sizes 280 up to and including 400, has been provided with lubrication system containing
a grease valve. The lubrication must take place when the machine is running. The old
grease is ejected from the grease valve thus maintaining the correct level and avoiding
overfilling which would be harmful.
