Bearings

Description
The three-phase motors have grease-lubricated, rolling-contact bearings. A regreasing
device is available.
A deep-groove ball bearing is installed at the NDE as a locating bearing. Depending on the
type of load, a deep-groove ball bearing or cylindrical-roller bearing is installed at the DE as
a floating bearing.
For the bearing assignments as well as the associated permissible lateral forces and
minimum loads when cylindrical-roller bearings are installed at the DE, refer to the catalog or
contact us.
Preloading springs, thrust collars, and/or equalizing rings are installed in the active part of
the bearing at the DE to provide backlash compensation for the outer races. Due to the
operation at the frequency converter, the bearing at the NDE is electrically insulated.
