Warning: Suitable lifting arrangement should be available; such as a crane of sufficient capacity,
hooks and chains which are in good order. If the motor has to be unloaded of moved using a forklift
truck, it must be mounted on strong timbers running lengthwise under the feet with cross pieces to al-
low access for the forks. The truck must be capable of lifting the motor and of transporting it without
tipping over. The motor should be kept at the lowest practicable level of the forks and travel over
rough/uneven ground should be avoided to prevent shock load damage to the bearings.

7 - STORAGE
The storage area should be free from vibrations, which might otherwise dam-
age the equipment. If the motor is subjected to floor vibration greater than
50mm/sec rms whilst stationary, damage to the bearings may be caused,
particularly if they are of the rolling element type, i.e. ball or roller. If the vi-
bration is unavoidable, the stored motor should be stood on resilient mount-
ings such that resulting vibration measured on the motor frame is less than as
stated above.
The storage area should as far as possible be protected against potential ha-
zards such as flooding, animal infestations, etc.

The rotor locking device is to remain fixed while the motor is handled, moved
and positioned next to the machine to be driven.
Note : Two diagonally opposite ∅ 10 mm holes must be drilled into the base-
plate or frame to allow the motor to be pinned. This procedure is to be per-
formed prior to positioning the motor, in accordance with the floor plan for
the vertical holes, and after final tightening for the oblique holes (with the
motor acting as a template).
Placing adjusting shims between the base-plates and motor feet can align
the shaft heights of the two machines.

10 – MACHINE DRYING
10.1 - Drying
Once drying is complete, disconnect the power supply and allow the motor
to cool to room temperature. Check the resistance values again, and if the
measured value is correct, the normal power supply may be connected
ready for start-up. If the value is not correct repent the procedure and check
again.
At the stator of the procedure, the insulation resistance will decrease, before
gradually rising.
The drying procedure should be stopped two or three hours after the insula-
tion resistance reaches the required value.
It should be noted that the insulation resistance reading measured after the
machine has cooled may be higher than the value obtained with the ma-
chine hot at the time when drying was stopped.

The following list points out the risks associated with over - hasty, excessive or
poorly implemented greasing procedures :
• Grease leaks past baffles due to excessive grease pressure within the bear-
ing (over - hasty greasing or excessive grease).
• Surplus grease may produce a braking effect in the ball races, which
might cause moving parts (ball and rollers) to shift from their raceway,
leading to heating, intermittent noises and bearing wear (scaling, micro -
seizures), as well as loss of grease performance (shearing in the lubricant
film and localised excessive grease temperatures in the affected area, or
grease pollution caused by metal particles breaking away from the unlu-
bricated area).
• There is little internal radial play within the bearing (small ball bearings);
When the motor is commissioned, inject two "doses" of grease at five minute
intervals. The quantity of greases is indicated on the marking plates on the
bearing, unless bearing noises typical of insufficient initial greasing can be
heard, do not re-grease for 24 hours. Several hours are required for the disc to
expel all the excess grease (especially from the bearings on vertical shaft
motors).

24 hours later, inject one further dose of the recommended grease. After two
weeks in service, inject one dose of the recommended grease, followed by a
second dose 24 hours later.
Thereafter, follow the normal servicing plan indicated on the plates on the
bearings (grease quantities & intervals). Under severe operating conditions,
e.g. bearing temperatures above 80°C, the greasing intervals can be halved.
b) Greasing procedure
The grease nozzle should be cleaned in order to avoid injecting dirt or foreign
particles into the bearing lubrication circuit. Similarly, both the grease-gun
and grease should be clean.
The general conditions required for a good greasing operation are as follows
:
These general greasing instructions may, however, be refined for specific mo-
tor types :

If there is no means of varying the motor speed, nor halting production (con-
tinuous operation), the following criteria MUST be respected :
• Wherever possible, minimise the time (< 1 min) between greasing each
bearing.
• After greasing the last bearing, wait 2 minutes before shutting down the
motor, to allow the grease to be distributed within the last bearing.
• Wait 45 minutes before restarting the motor, in order to allow the addition-
al heat due to the greasing of the bearings to be dissipated.
• Wherever possible, minimise the time (<1 min) between greasing each
bearing.

• After greasing the last bearing, wait 30 seconds before shutting down the
motor, to allow the grease to be distributed within the last bearing, but not
more than 30 seconds, owing to the additional heat generated in the
greased bearings.
• Wait 1 h 15 minutes before restarting the motor, in order to allow the addi-
tional heat due to the greasing of the bearings to be dissipated.
• Where the rated motor speed is less than 3000 rpm, the greasing proce-
dure should be carried out at between 30 and 60% of rated speed.
• Where the rated motor speed is around 3000 rpm or more, the greasing
procedure should be carried out at between 10 and 40% of rated speed.
This is possible on variable speed motors and slow-stopping motors as they fall
into the recommended speed range specified above when shutting down.
During greasing, at least 3 seconds pause per gram or cm3 of grease should
be left between strokes.
After greasing the last bearing, wait 10 minutes at low speed (as specified
above) to allow the grease to be properly distributed, before increasing
speed gradually. Where the rated speed is around 3000 rpm or more, wait 20
minutes at the corresponding low speed before gradually increasing speed.
After greasing the last bearing, wait 30 minutes before restarting the motor, in
order to dissipate the additional heating of the bearings due to the greasing
procedure.
After greasing the last bearing, wait 1 hour before restarting the motor, in or-
der to dissipate the additional heating of the bearings due to the greasing

Bearings are filled via the hole in the oil ring inspection glass, which is located
at the top of the bearing.
The inspection glass should be removed with care, possibly using an adjusta-
ble pin spanner.
Fill with new oil.
To avoid adversely affecting the quality of the new oil filling the bearings,
which could result in premature bearing wear, take all necessary precautions
to prevent foreign matter (dust, grit, sand, water, grease, rags, paper, etc…)
from entering the bearing.
Check that the oil level lies in the middle of the oil gauge. The oil gauge is fit-
ted on one side of the bearing. This check should be made with the motor
stopped.
Replace and correctly tighten the filler plug.

The oil should comply with the grade specified on the marking plates fixed to
the motor and the equivalence chart below.
To avoid running the bearings dry, the lubricating system should be designed
to provide an adequate safety margin by operating for a long enough pe-
riod before and after starting and stopping the motor.
A half-moon plate fitted into the pipework at the oil outlet ensures a
minimum safe oil level. Under no circumstances should this
pipework be removed.
The oil pumping system must deliver the recommended normal flow of oil.

The oil drain pipework leading from the bearings to the lubrication systems
must not retain oil in the circuit.
The pipe should have a gradient of at least 15 %. Any obstacles in the circuit
may cause a rise in the oil level within the bearings and to oil leaks.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD
Remove the sump plug at the bottom of the bearing (see cross-sectional di-
agram).
Replace the sump plug with a new seal, and tighten to the torque settings
given in the table below :

15. DISMANTLING
It is assumed that dismantling will be carried out in a workshop, so the first part of these
instructions covers the removal of the motors from its location.
Detach the main supply cables at a convenient point depending on the type of cable
box fitted. Label the phases, protect the cable ends and tie them out of the way and
off the floor. Remove and label all auxiliary cables and disconnect the earth cable or
braided wire.
Remove the coupling guard and separate the halves of the coupling. It is good prac-
tice to match-mark the halves with an ink marker or center punch.
Remove the dowels and the holding down bolts from the motor feet. Fit lifting eyes in
the two tapped holes on top of the motor frame and lift the motor clear of the ground.
If there are shims under the feet, leave them in position on the base or soleplate to sim-
plify re-assembly. Make sure no shims are stuck to the feet when the motor is lifted. Re-
move the motor to the workshop and set it down at a convenient height and in the
right direction to the travel of the crane.
Pull the half-coupling of the shaft, remove the key and tie it to the half-coupling.
Remove the heater-wiring cover plate at the top of the DE end bracket and discon-
nect the heater from the wiring in the motor frame.
Remove the DE end bracket fixing screws, leaving the end bracket supported with a
crane. Remove the four screws at 45 degree that hold the bearing inner cap to the end
bracket.
Support the shaft end on a wooden block or a jack and hold the end bracket on the
crane. Use two of the end bracket fixing screws in the threaded jacking holes to jack
the end bracket off the dowels. It will slide over the bearing outer race, leaving the
bearing and the bearing inner cap on the shaft.
Insert soft packing in the gap between the rotor and the stator and remove the shaft
support.
Remove and protect the shaft seal. Loosen the grub screw, which retains the grease
finger on the shaft, and pull the flinger-off using a claw clamp. Remove the bearing re-
taining circlip. Move the inner cap along with shaft clear of the bearing. Pull the bear-
ing off using a claw clamp. If the bearing is to be used again, the pressure to remove it
must be applied to the inner race only. Remove the inner cap.
For Flowpak Motor, remove the Fan Cowl at the NDE side. Remove the circlip and pull
off the Fan. Tie the circlip and the Fan Keys to the Fan.

Remove the four screws at 45 degree that holds the bearing inner cap to the end
bracket.
Remove the heater wiring cover plate and disconnect the heater from the frame wir-
ing.
Support the shaft and remove the end bracket in the same way as the DE, noting that it
may be necessary to hold the rotor at the DE to prevent it sliding. A wavy washer is fit-
ted between the bearing outer race and the end bracket i.e. on the outside of the
bearing. It is fitted to allow for differential expansion between the shaft and motor
frame.
Remove the grease finger, circlip and bearing in the same way as the DE was remove.
Do not mix up components from the two ends.
Remove the rotor carefully from the stator, using a suitable piece of steel tube as a
shaft extension, and set the rotor down on soft packing.
Clean the stator and the rotor by blowing them out with clean dry compressed air at
not more than 175 kN/M (25 lb/square inch). If the winding is greasy, wipe the surfaces
with a cloth dampened with white spirit. If contamination is severe consult MARATHON
ELECTRIC MOTORS (INDIA) LIMITED, Calcutta Works.
15.1 RE ASSEMBLY
In general this is the reverse of that the dismantling procedure. Before, starting, make
sure all surfaces are cleaned off rust and dirt and are free of burrs. If the original bear-
ings are to be refitted, wash out all the old grease and make sure they are thoroughly
clean and dry. If new bearings are to be fitted, make sure that they are the correct
type.
Bearings are on an interference fit on the shaft and need to be warmed before they
are fitted. Approved methods warming are either to use a thermostatically controlled
oil bath or an induction-type bearing heater.
If an oil bath is used it should be large enough for the bearing to be raised off the bot-
tom and be totally immersed. There must be a means of lifting the bearing in and out
and draining it. Appropriate safety gloves must be provided for handling.

Preheat the oil bath to 100 deg. cent. immerse the bath and leave it in for at least 10
minutes. The protective grease on a new bearing can be left on as it will dissolve in the
hot oil.
Fit the NDE inner bearing cap. Remove the heated bearing from the bath, allow it to
drain briefly, then push it fully right on to the bearing seat. Hold it in place until the circlip
if fitted. Fit the flinger and tighten the grub screw. When the bearing has cooled, fill it
with grease from both sides.
Lightly grease the recess in the end bracket in which the outer race fits, insert the wavy
washer and slide the end bracket over the outer race. When the bearing has cooled it
should be an easy push fit. Bolt the end bracket and the inner cap altogether.
Fit the DE inner cap and the insulation washer Heat and fit the bearing, holding it in
place while the Circlip is fitted, fit the flinger and tighten the grub screw, when the bear-
ing has cooled, fill fit with grease from both sides.
Thread the rotor. Use a steel tube as a shaft extension and gently guide the rotor in.
Remove the tube.
At the DE screw two lengths of M12 threaded rod into two opposite holes in the bearing
inner cap to act as guide. Unscrew the pointed earthing screw in the DE end bracket so
that it will not touch the bearing outer race. Put the DE end bracket over the shaft end,
and then support the shaft end on a jack or a block of wood so that it can slide. Thread
the M12 rods through the corresponding holes in the DE end bracket, then case the
shaft along towards the DE and NDE end bracket can be located on its dowels and
bolted up. Tighten the screws evenly.
Locate the DE end bracket on its dowels, bolt it up and insert two of the bearing inner
cap screws into the two vacant holes and tighten them, spin the rotor and check for
satisfactory running. It is locked or stiff, something has been wrongly assembled which
must be investigated and corrected. Once satisfactorily, replace the two lengths of rod
by the two remaining screws and fit the bearing seals.
Check the axial float by loosening the DE end bracket and pushing the De of the shaft
against the way washer in the NDE bearing. There should be about 1.5 mm of move-
ment, which is best measured by making marks on the shaft where it emerges from the
NDE housing. Retighten the DE end bracket.
Connect the heater wiring and test it. Refit the bearing grease pipes and make sure
they are full of grease and not air. Refit the external fan and fan cowl. Check for clear-
ance and rubbing. Refit the half coupling.
Check the bearing insulation (if fitted) using multimeter. On the DE bearing make sure
the earthing screw is unscrewed and measure the insulation resistance between the
motor shaft and the frame. This should be at least 1 Kilo ohm. If this test is satisfactory,
tighten the earthing screw.

Return the motor to its location where it was dowelled in place and the shims under the
feet have not been disturbed. The alignment should be correct, but if there is any
doubt, align the motor as for a new one.
Connect the main supply, if there is any doubts, the direction of rotation being correct,
check it before reassembling the coupling guard. Reconnect the auxiliaries.
