Horizontal and vertical motors have uniquely different requirements for endplay, while sleeve bearing machines bring their own challenges. This presentation examines those differences.

This video shows the proper way to lubricate the deep-groove, open ball bearing before assembling a horizontal induction motor.

This video demonstrates the correct way to use an induction bearing heater to install an interference fit ball bearing on a machine shaft.

When repairing centrifugal and axial flow pumps, axial thrust is a concern. An understanding of the causes and the mitigating provisions of various pump designs will help repair technicians to ensure those provisions work properly.

This video walks through the steps to adjust and set end play on a typical vertical hollow shaft pump motor.

One aspect of our repair industry that seems to cause a lot of confusion is the bearing arrangements of vertical motors. There is quite an assortment of thrust bearing arrangements, and we tend to try to apply the same method for adjusting end play to all of them. That is often a bad idea, so this article will take a closer look specifically at those fitted with a spherical roller thrust bearing and repair tips unique to these designs.

Un aspecto de nuestra industria de reparación que parece causar mucha confusión es la disposición de los rodamientos de los motores verticales. Existe una gran variedad de disposiciones de rodamientos de empuje y tendemos a intentar aplicar el mismo método para ajustar el juego axial en todos ellos. Por lo general, esta es una mala idea, por lo que este artículo analizará más de cerca específicamente aquellos motores equipados con un rodamiento de empuje de rodillos esféricos y ofrecerá consejos de reparación exclusivos para estos diseños.

This article describes some of the key characteristics and properties of lubricating greases and oils.
