Baldor Reliance Electric Motor 8040-AF-HV

Section 3 – Anti-Friction Bearing (Grease Lubricated)

Locate motor nameplate for relubrication intervals and volumes

Refer to motor nameplate for recommended lubricant

Select recommended lubricant if none is shown

Ensure use of clean, fresh grease from clean containers

Verify grease compatibility before mixing

Relubrication with the shaft stationary and a warm motor is recommended

Section 1 – Storage (less than 6 months)

Ensure grease lubricated bearings are not lubricated during storage

Verify Duty Master anti-friction bearing motors are shipped with the proper amount of grease in each bearing

Record the number of days since last inspection

Replace protective packing and shaft shipping brace after rotating the shaft

Inspect the motor periodically and check insulation resistance monthly

Is the storage location cold, damp, or humid?

Apply power to the motor's space heater if installed

Section 3 – Anti-Friction Bearing Removal/Replacement

Ensure equipment connected to the motor shaft cannot cause shaft rotation

Disconnect all electrical power from the motor windings and accessory devices

Replace bearing when worn, oversize, or when TRG/bearing temperature monitoring indicates excessive wear

Remove the bearing using a conventional bearing puller

Protect the shaft center using a spacer block of bass or soft material

Clean and inspect all parts, remove all old grease

Ensure all shaft bearing shoulders and journals are free of nicks

Section 3 – Sleeve Bearings (Oil Lubricated) – Severe and Extreme Conditions

Is the oil discolored or contaminated?

Follow the oil change procedure as per the standard Sleeve Bearing Oil Change task

Select oil viscosity and quality as per Table 3-4 and Section 3 Sleeve Bearings (Oil Lubricated)

De-energize the motor by opening the manual disconnect switches

Remove drain plug and drain oil

Does the oil appear to be contaminated?

Section 1 – Storage (less than 6 months) – Horizontal Motors with Sleeve Bearings

Fill the bearing oil reservoir to the indicated level with the proper lubrication oil

Pour 4 to 6 ounces of oil onto the bearing liner before rotating the shaft

Rotate the shaft 10-15 revolutions to redistribute the lubricant

Ensure the following conditions are met

Is the oil reservoir filled with the proper lubrication oil?

Was the shaft rotated 10-15 revolutions?
