Electric Motors

Electric motors account for some of the highest numbers of reliability incident reports involving rotating equipment and machinery. And since 40% to 70% of motor failures are related to bearings, it’s no surprise that high-quality bearings are key for reliable motors.

Another crucial factor for electric motors is energy efficiency. This too, is highly influenced by bearing selection.

But choosing the right bearings alone isn’t enough. How an electric motor is installed, lubricated, handled, aligned, and maintained are all critical to the motor’s performance and longevity.
