| 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
