| 14 perma lubrication systems STEP 1: Assess application Electric motors Electric motor bearing relubrication is a critical aspect of maintenance. As with other high speed bearing applications, it is important for relubrication practices to consider the risks associated with over-lubrication while providing sufficient relubrication to deliver long bearing service life. The combination of the following practices can provide a lubrication program which avoids over-lubrication and lubricant starvation:  Add small amounts of grease at short intervals using an automatic lubrication system which provides accurate dispensing rates, independent of temperature  Relubricate when the motor is in operation  Always ensure that discharged grease can escape from the bearing housing via well maintained grease escape holes or collection traps
