Electric motors play a vital role in the safe and efficient operation of industrial facilities and machinery. Even the highest quality motors can wear out over time. That’s why regular and planned electric motor maintenance is essential to prevent malfunctions and extend motor life.

Motors without proper maintenance gradually lose efficiency, consume more energy, and are prone to unexpected breakdowns. Especially with high-efficiency IE3 and IE4 motors, routine maintenance is necessary to maintain top performance.

What Does Electric Motor Maintenance Include?

• Cleaning: Dust, oil, and moisture must be removed from both inside and outside of the motor.

• Bearing Inspection & Lubrication: Check for wear, looseness, or unusual noise; grease if needed.

• Electrical Connections: Inspect terminal boxes and cable connections for looseness, oxidation, or burn marks.

• Vibration Analysis: Increased vibration can indicate potential faults.

• Winding & Insulation Testing: Decreased insulation resistance can lead to short circuits.

• Cooling System Check: Ensure fans and air vents are clean and unobstructed.

Expert Advice from Drg Motor

Drg Motor recommends that your electric motors undergo a full maintenance check at least once a year. For heavy-duty applications, the interval should be shorter—ideally every 6 months.

Proper maintenance leads to less energy consumption, longer service life, and uninterrupted production.
