Effect of motor placement on bearing

Compared with the horizontal motor, the bearing system of the vertical motor requires its own particularity, because it involves the gravity action in the vertical direction, so the material and size of the selected bearing and its associated parts are special.

Some people questioned: the motor is not put horizontally or vertically, which can have a trick? You can not underestimate the change of this position, the axial gravity of the motor is actually constantly testing the endurance of the bearing.

The motor is placed horizontally and vertically, and the direction of gravity is different, which has different effects on the internal bearings. Once the bearing condition is not good, the operation of the motor will be affected, resulting in strange vibration and noise.

When the motor is placed horizontally, the force accepted by the bearing is mainly radial load, and when it is placed vertically, an additional axial load is added. This is like humans lying on their back and lying on their side, the force point will change, and the comfort level will naturally be different. As the burden of the bearing changes, the vibration noise is naturally different. Generally used for vertical motor bearings, we will adjust them.

In addition, the noise may also be a signal of damage to the bearing. Therefore, if your motor is noisy or the vibration has changed, you need to pay attention to the operation of the bearing in time, and timely inspection is the secret of maintaining the "healthy" state of the motor!

It should also be noted that whether it is placed horizontally or vertically, it is necessary to ensure that the motor is installed smoothly, otherwise even if the bearing is not damaged, the motor may produce noise due to imbalance.
