In order to fully utilize the performance of the generator, normal maintenance is very important. Today, we spread to everyone is the importance of grease for generators! During use, all generator greases will deteriorate due to oxidation, excessive oil bleed, mechanical operation, and oil volatilization.
In actual operation, it is very important to develop and abide by the scientific motor bearing lubrication management plan to maintain and even stimulate the performance of the motor. Below, let's analyze how to stimulate the higher performance of the generator?
First, timing
The factors that affect the frequency of grease replacement are complex and generally include temperature, continuity of use, amount of grease injected, bearing size and speed, seal effectiveness, and suitability of the grease for specific applications. Therefore, deciding when and how often to replace the grease is not an easy task.
Normally, light-duty to medium-duty motors that operate continuously require grease to be replaced at least once a year; for every 10°C above the nominal recommended temperature, the grease replacement interval needs to be reduced by half.
Second, quantitative
Determining the amount of grease injected into a motor bearing is one of the important steps in bearing primary lubrication and grease replacement. Insufficient grease injection can cause bearing failure due to insufficient lubrication, and excessive injection can cause bearing failure and problems caused by grease being introduced into the electromagnetic winding. There are two ways to determine the amount of grease injected into the bearing:
1. 1/2 to 2/3 of the remaining space in the bearing - when the running speed is less than 50% of the ultimate speed of the bearing; 1/3 to 1/2 of the remaining space in the bearing - when the running speed is greater than 50% of the ultimate speed of the bearing.
2. Another way to determine the proper amount of grease injected into a bearing is to use the following formula:
Grease injection amount (g) = bearing outer diameter (mm) X bearing width (mm) X0.005; Or grease injection amount (ounces) = 0.114X bearing outer diameter (inches) X bearing width (inches) X0.005.
