How a webinar works

All EASA private webinars are live events in which the audio and video are streamed to your computer over the Internet. Prior to the program, you will receive a web link to join the meeting. 

The presentation portion of the webinar will last about 45 minutes, followed by about 15 minutes of questions and answers.

Requirements

  • Internet connection
  • Computer with audio input (microphone) and audio output (speakers) appropriate for your size group
  • TV or projector/screen

The Zoom webinar service EASA uses will ask to install a small plugin. Your computer must be configured to allow this in order to have full functionality. Please check with your IT department or company's security policy prior to scheduling a private webinar.

Private Webinars

EASA's private webinars are an inexpensive way to bring an EASA engineer into your service center, place of business or group meeting without incurring travel expenses or lost production time.

Start with cause of oil leaks in repair process on sleeve bearing motors

Have you ever repaired a sleeve bearing motor, only to have the customer complain that it leaks oil? Perhaps the motor had a history of oil leaks, and the windings were oil-saturated when you dismantled it. Two-pole machines are especially notorious as chronic oil leakers. The first step toward correct­ing an oil leak is to identify the cause. 

A good place to start is to determine whether the motor has a forced-oil system. If so, check for a metering plate in the oil supply line. The typical metering plate (see figure) has about a 3/32 diameter orifice to meter the volume of oil. Often installed in a pipe union, the metering plate is easily lost when the motor is removed from service. The repairer rarely gets the forced-oil system with the motor.  The customer does not recognize that little piece of metal that looks like a conduit knockout, and that tiny hole can t possi­bly be for oil flow. So it gets thrown away.
