Bearing failures can be prevented with good maintenance, lubrication and analysis

Pictured is a 400 HP AC induction motor with a catastrophic bearing failure. A rewind and machine work is needed.

Mechanical failures account for the most outages in industrial rotating machinery with a high majority being a bearing failure.

Bearing failure symptoms could include: an audible noise, heat, smell, smoke or vibration.

Lubrication is essential to rotating equipment longevity. There is a science to intervals, composition of lubricant and amount of lubricant installed.

CMT can help prevent catastrophic bearing failures. Thermal analysis, vibration analysis and lubrication education for customers is available.
