Prolonging Motor Life
Thoughtful design and proper maintenance can increase the life of a servo motor.
Follow these guidelines to maximize the life of a servo motor within a food
processing environment.
• Always provide a drip loop in each cable to carry liquids away from the
connection to the motor.
• If design requirements permit, provide shields that protect the motor
housing, shaft, seals and their junctions from contamination by foreign
matter or fluids.
• Replace the shaft seal at or before its expected lifetime of 12-months.
Refer to
Shaft Seals
for more information on shaft seals.
• Inspect the motor and seals for damage or wear on a regular basis. If
damage or excessive wear is observed, replace the item.
