November 19, 2010

Electric Motor Facts

  • More than 70% of electricity consumed in industry comes from the use of electric motors, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
  • Motor life depends on bearing life, and bearing life depends on proper lubrication.
  • Damaged bearings and other lubrication-related failures cause downtime.
  • Lubrication is essential to maintaining equipment.
  • The current prevailing choice for electric motor lubrication is polyurea grease.

Electric Motor Failures

  • More than 50% of electric motor failures are bearing related.
  • An estimated 95% of all bearing failures are premature.
  • Many of these failures are due to poor lubrication, over-lubrication or wrong lubricant selection.
LE's new polyurea grease prolongs life of
electric motors, won't bleed into windings
Introducing Monolec� Extend EM Grease (1282)

Designed specifically to protect electric motor bearings, LE’s new EP grease helps bearings run cooler and last longer. Its low oil separation characteristics ensure that it will not bleed into the motor’s windings. An NLGI 2 grease, it features superior mechanical stability, excellent pumpability and great rust, corrosion and oxidation resistance.

Other noteworthy features of Monolec 1282:

  • Increases efficiency of motor by decreasing drag
  • Provides long service life without any change in consistency
  • Resists heat and other extreme conditions
  • Provides superior water spray-off resistance
