Insufficient Lubricant Film Formation During Start-Up, Stop, and Variable Speed

During start-up, stop, and variable-speed operation, electric motor bearings do not form a sufficient lubricant film. This leads to increased friction, wear, and accelerated degradation of contact surfaces.

Causes of Insufficient Lubrication

  • Low rotational speed during start-up and stop
  • Variable speed under frequency control
  • Insufficient lubricant quantity
  • High lubricant viscosity at low temperatures

Solutions

Bearings with optimized geometry for boundary friction conditions are used. Lubricants with low friction coefficients are employed. It is recommended to use bearings with polymer retainers to reduce friction.
