How to improve the service life of electric motors
TIME:2024.06.30

Propose corresponding solutions for several main factors affecting the service life of motors, mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Intensify inspection and monitoring efforts
Electric motors are composed of many components, so their lifespan cannot be affected by a single factor. It is particularly necessary to prevent machine malfunctions before they occur. So the relevant personnel need to strengthen the overall inspection and monitoring of the electric motor. If the screws of the motor wiring board are loose or damaged, repair them immediately upon discovery; Whether the bearing lubricating grease is sufficient, whether the bearing has heating, rust and other conditions, and handle them separately according to the situation to ensure that they are in normal working condition; Even the presence of water accumulation, air conditions, and missing or rusted components in the working environment can have unpredictable effects on the engine, thereby affecting its service life. This highlights the importance of inspection and monitoring throughout the entire workflow.
2. Timely maintenance of faults
As is well known, once an electric motor malfunctions, its impact on its service life cannot be ignored, not to mention other negative effects. Common faults such as motor heating and burning caused by bearing wear, parts deformation or detachment leading to machine damage, etc. If these faults cannot be dealt with in a timely manner, they will increase the damage to the motor itself and its functional defects, which will have the most direct impact on its lifespan. Therefore, once a mechanical fault occurs, relevant personnel should conduct timely maintenance, clarify the cause and location of the fault, and promptly disassemble, clean and repair the relevant parts to restore the integrity and functionality of the motor as comprehensively as possible, without affecting its service life as much as possible.
3. Pay attention to maintenance and upkeep
The maintenance and upkeep of electric motors have a crucial impact on their service life. Only by properly controlling daily maintenance can the service life of motors be fundamentally improved. Continuous high-speed operation of electric motors inevitably leads to various problems, such as wear and tear of small parts, tightness of interfaces, and so on. This requires inspections in daily maintenance to be implemented in all aspects, starting from details, in order not to miss any safety hazards. As for the daily maintenance of electric motors, the following aspects should be taken into consideration: firstly, visually inspect the appearance of the motor, such as whether the bearings and fans are rusted, whether the parts are missing or detached, whether the lubricating grease is sufficient, and whether the machine is in a suitable environment, etc; Secondly, when the machine is running, listen for any abnormal sounds and promptly carry out maintenance; Furthermore, contact check whether the bearing links are tight, fixed, whether the temperature of the motor is normal during operation, the degree of wire aging, whether the switch is normal, and use tools to detect whether the current is normal, etc.
