  • Page 47: Inspection

    INSPECTION Inspection Interval Inspect the motor after every 500 operating hours. Inspection Criteria Inspect the motor according to the criteria in Table 3. CAUTION: IF IT IS NECESSARY TO CLEAN THE MOTOR EXTERIOR, DO NOT USE SHOP AIR. SHOP AIR CAN FORCE CONTAMINANTS INTO THE MOTOR, AND CAN CAUSE THE BLOWN CONTAMINANTS TO AFFECT OTHER COMPONENTS.

  • Page 48: Testing And Fault Isolation

    TESTING AND FAULT ISOLATION General NOTE: NORD electric motors do not require periodic testing. However, if a motor is removed from its installation, NORD recommends that the motor be checked according to the static and dynamic testing provided below before it is reinstalled. Finding a condition that will require future repair before the motor is reinstalled decreases the overall maintenance time.

  • Page 49: Table 4 Motor Fault Isolation

    Fault Isolation If the motor has failed or does not meet the requirements of any of the tests described above, use the fault isolation procedures provided in Table 4, Motor Fault Isolation. The table is based on the assumption that the motor has been operating correctly, and that a problem has occurred.

  • Page 50: Lubrication

    LUBRICATION General NORD motor frame sizes 63 up to and including 225 are prelubricated, therefor require no lubrication during normal operation. Frame sizes 250 and larger will have grease fittings for regreasing the motor bearings. Relubricate bearings every six months (more often if conditions require) using a polyurea base grease, No. 2 consistency & stabilized against oxidation.
  • Page 51 Installation with NEMA and IEC Flanges Refer to NORD Gearbox Inputs Installation and Maintenance Instructions in BIM1009. Make sure the flanges are clean and free of gasket material. Install a new gasket between the mating flanges, if applicable. Carefully move the motor to insert the motor shaft and its hub/sheave into the adapter spline, making sure the shaft key enters the mating keyway.
  • Page 52 Clean all contamination and corrosion from the mating flanges. Support the motor and mount it to the adapter. Apply a medium strength thread locking compound such as blue Loctite to the bolt threads according to the instructions. Install the bolts and tighten them securely. Reconnect the wiring to the motor.
