These instructions present general recommendations for installation, operation and maintenance of induction motors built at the Norwood plant. If additional information is required, contact Siemens Energy & Automation.
Warranty
See your sales contract for warranty coverage. Documentation of storage maintenance, alignment and regreasing may be required for certain warranty considerations.
Receiving
Motors are shipped in first class condition. They have been inspected and are skidded to prevent damage from ordinary handling during shipment.
Inspect new motors for shipping invoice. Make the examination before removing from cars or trucks. If damage or indication of rough handling is evident, file a claim with the carrier at once, and notify your Siemens sales representative.
Remove only the shipping invoice. Do not remove tags pertaining to lubrication, operation and storage instructions. Read and follow all instructions to insure that no damage to motor bearings, (due to condensation) and motor windings occurs during storage.
Use care in handling. Dropping the motor or otherwise imposing shock loads can cause unseen and undetected damage to bearings. This damage such as false brinelling of the races of anti-friction bearings can result in early bearing failure.
If supplied, energize space heaters to help prevent condensation within the motor enclosur e.
Motors having oil lubricated bearings are shipped WITHOUT OIL in the bearing reservoir. These bearings and journal surfaces are protected during shipment by a TEMPORARY film of rust inhibiting oil.
Immediately upon receiving a unit with oil lubricated bearings:
1. Check for moisture accumulation. Remove any traces of oxidation before putting the motor in service.
2. Fill bearing reservoirs to normal level with a non­foaming, non-detergent turbine oil (See Maintenance Section).
3. Rotate the shaft several turns, by hand, to distribute the oil over bearing parts.

Introduction
Heavy equipment.
Improper handling may cause death, serious injury or property damage.
Check lifting devices before lifting. Use proper slings, chains
Note any warning plates on motor and follow instructions on each plate.
Handling
Lifting devices are provided for handling only. An experienced rigger should be used to install motors.
To avoid damage, the use of spreader bars is recommended on other than single point lifts. Lifting devices are provided to facilitate handling with shackles and cables. Avoid pounding or bumping shaft, coupling or bearing parts, as shocks may damage bearings.
NOTE WEIGHT BEFORE LIFTING. The weight is indicated on the outline drawing. Apply tension gradually to cables. Do not jerk or attempt to move the unit suddenly.
Temporary Storage
If the equipment is not to be installed and operated soon after arrival, store it in a clean, dry, well- ventilated place, free from vibration and rapid or wide variations in temperature. Rotate the shaft a minimum of 10 complete turns by hand each month to coat the bearings with lubricant which will retard oxidation or corrosion, and prevent possible false brinelling. If drain plugs are provided in enclosed motors, they must be removed periodically to drain any water accumulation from the motor. Consider a unit in storage when:
1. It has been delivered to the job site and is awaiting installation.
2. It has been installed but operation is delayed over 30 days pending completion of plant construction.
3. There are long (30 day) periods between operating cycles.
4. The plant (or department) is shut down for 30 days.
Energize space heaters, if supplied.

Location
Select a location for the motor and driven unit that will:
1. Be clean, dry, well ventilated, properly drained, and provide accessibilit y for inspection, lubrication and maintenance. Outdoor installations may require protection from the elements.
2. Provide adequate space f or motor removal witho ut shifting the driven unit.
3. Permit the motor to saf ely deliver ad equate power . Temperature rise of a s tandard motor is based on operation at an altitude not higher than 3,300 feet above sea level.
4. Avoid condensation of m oisture in bear ings and on windings. Motors should not be s tore d or oper ated in areas subject to rapid temperature changes unless motors are energized or protected with space heaters.
Foundation
Concrete (reinforced as required) makes the best foundation, particularly for large motors and driven units. In sufficient mass it provides rigid support that minimizes deflection a nd vibration. It may be located on soil, structural stee l, or building floors provided t he total weight (motor, driven unit, foundation) does not exceed the allowable bearing load of the support.
Allowable bearing loads of structural steel and floors can be obtained from engineering handbooks. Building codes of local communities give the recommended allowable bearing loads f or different types of soil. For rough calculation the foundation should be approximately 2-1/2 times total unit weight.
NOTE
If normal vibration or noise will be objectionable (as in office buildings), it may be advisable to use vibration dampeners between the machine or driven/drive unit,
Mount the machine securely and align accur ately with the driven equipment.
1. Direct mounted to dr iven/drive equi pment: the two units must be firmly secured and the driven equipment placed on an adequate foundation.
2. Floor plate mounted equ ipment must be very rigid and free from vibration.
Any excessive vibration of either method will cause loss of alignment, premature bearing wear and eventual breakdown.

Vibration
After flange mounting b olts hav e be en t ig hten ed, c h eck end play. Run the un it at a minimum load and check vibration.
The standard unfilter ed vibratio n limits per NEMA MG 1 for a resiliently mounted motor are:
If vibration is excess ive, loosen flange m ounting bolts and shift within mounting flange clearance. If this shifting does not reduce vibration to acceptable limit, and unit is coupled to load, check shaft alignment and system reed frequency.
System Frequency (Resonance)
To achieve reasonable vibration levels when a motor, pump, and support are operating together, the responsibility is with the system designer.
If the probable vibration c haracteristic s of a s ystem are calculated before construction begins proper design can often reduce trouble before it becomes a costly reality. The effec t of most pum p heads beca use of th e access openings for coupling, bearing, and pump adjustments, will lower the system reed frequency.
Generally, the reed frequency of the unit alone mounted on an infinite mass is at least 15% above or below the unit operating speed. If the system reed frequency is at or near operating speed, a decision must be made to raise or lower the system reed frequency by altering the rigidity of the motor-support structure.
Alignment
Accurate shaft alignment between motor and driven equipment is essential. Improper alignment may result in vibration, bearing overloads and excessive shaft stresses. Flexible couplings will not compensate for excessive misalignment.
Alignment Procedure (Solid Shaft)
The following checking procedure applies to a unit consisting of motor/generator, coupling, and a driven/drive component. Although applicable to most types of couplings, it is primarily intended for the rabbet-fit type. For oth er types, where the procedures differ, refer to the coupling manufacturer's Installation and Maintenance Instructions.
Work in one plane at a time and test for parallel or angular alignment with a dial indicator mounted as shown in Figure 1. Proceed as follows:
1. Set indicator dial to zero, at starting point.
2. Slowly turn both coupling halves a complete turn.
3. Observe dial reading at 90 degre e increm ents f rom starting point.
4. Acceptable parallel alignment occurs when the total indicator readings do not exceed 0.002 inches.
5. Acceptable angular alignment occurs when the total indicator readin gs do not exceed 0.002 in./ft. radius to dial indicator.

operating.
Figure 2
Installation
Alignment Procedure (Hollow Shaft)
Hollow shaft units require accurate alignment with respect to the unit shaf t an d the driven/drive equipment shaft. The pump s haft acts as a pendulum supported by the top coupling and unit bearing.
Align the unit as follows:
1. Clamp dial indicator to pum p s haf t, alig n with bas e­bolt plane and set dial indicator to zero (Figure 2).
2. Remove top cover and rot ate both unit and pump shafts.
3. Read dial indicator at 90 degree increments from starting point.
4. Acceptable alignment occurs when indicator readings do not exceed 0.0005 inches.
5. Shim flange faces if necessary (Figure 3).
When alignment and v ibration of unit are within lim its, engage drive. Run un it at m inimum load and ch eck for vibration - continue to increase load and checking vibration until full load is obtained.
Shimming Technique
To avoid the possibility of twisting the flange when shimming between the f langes, minor s hims should be one-half the thickness of the major shim. Shims should not penetrate deeper than the bolt hole circle and not be wider than twice the penetration distance (Figure 3).

CAUTION

Excessive vibration may cause damage to bearings or other motor components.

Tests Before Operation
Insulation Resistance
Check insulation resistance prior to connecting motor to power supply. A hand cranked or solid state electronic insulation resistance tester, at least 500 volts d.c., but not over rated voltage, is usually used (see Maintenance).
See IEEE Recommended Practice for Testing Insulation Resistance Rota t ing Mach inery IEEE Std 43.
Dielectric (Hi-Pot) Tests
All motors receive a factory dielectric test in accordance with ANSI and IEEE Standar ds.
Dielectric testing may result in personal injury or death.
Operate dielectric test equipment only with qualified personnel, in acc ordance
If a dielectric test is made on an old or repaired winding, to evaluate service reliability, the test voltage applied may vary from the rated terminal voltage to some higher value. The factory should be consulted when establishing the tes
old or repaired equipment.
t voltage and procedure for testing
If normal vibration or noise will be objectionable (as in Instruments that operate on the principle of the Kelvin Bridge are preferred. (See "Temperature Measuring
The cold resistance, or the resistance at normal room temperature, must be measured after the machine has been idle for some time, usually before starting, or cold resistance value may be obtained from the factory. The cold temperature of the coils should be measured because coil temperature may not be the same as the surrounding air.
The average temperature of the winding is obtained by taking resistance measurements, at the motor load terminals and using the following equation:
Where T = hot temperature in degrees C R = hot resistance r = cold resistance at temperature t t = cold temperature of winding in deg C (amb)
As an example, assume the cold resistance of 0.50 ohms at 25°C, and the hot resistance (taken immediately after motor is de-energized, and has stopped rotating) is 0.61 ohms, then:

CAUTION

Excessive dielectric testing may cause damage to insulation.
Winding Resistance (Temperature)
The change in resistance of a winding provides an accurate measure of the average temperature of a winding, and is generally used to determine the temperature of the stator windings. The measurements must be made carefully with instruments known to be accurate, and preferably with the same instruments for both hot and cold measurements.
The temperature measured by imbedded detectors or by the change in resistance is generally higher than thermometer measurements and is closer to the true hottest spot temperature in the machine. For this reason, the Standards permit higher observable temperatures when measurements are taken in this manner.

After installation is com pleted, but before motor is put in regular service, make an initial start as follows:
1. Check that motor, starting, and control device connections agree with wiring diagrams.
2. Check that voltage, phase, and frequency of line circuit (power supply) agree with motor nameplate.
3. If motor has been out of service or in storage (installed or uninst alled) se Out of Service/Stor age Section before proceeding.
4. Check motor service record and tags accompanying motor. Be certain bearings have been properly lubricated and oil wells are filled. See motor outline drawing to determine proper oil level.
5. If possible, remove externa l load (dis con nect dri ve) and turn shaft by hand to assure free rotation. This may have been done d uring inst allation procedure; if so, and conditions have not changed, th is check may not be necessary.
6. If drive is disc onnected, run motor at no load long enough to be certain that no unusual condition exists. Listen and monitor for excessive noise, vibration, clicking or pounding an d tha t oil rings are turning if so equipped. If present, stop motor immediately. Investigate the cause and correct before putting motor in service.
7. If drive cannot be disconnected, interrupt the starting cycle after motor has accelerated to low speed. Carefully observe for unusual conditions as motor coasts to a stop. Repeat several times if necessary. Refer to motor’s Starting Duty nameplate (if so eq ui ppe d) or Mot or Dat a She et f or recommended number of starts and cooling per iod between starts.
8. If both bearings are insulated, make sure ground strap or brush is connected so rotor is grounded. Disconnect ground str ap, if used, only when u nit is not operating to check bearing insulation integrity.
9. When checks are satisfactory, operate at lowest load possible and look for any unusual condition. Increase load slowly to m aximum , checking unit for satisfactory operation.

Operation
Relubricate Bearings (see Bearings Section). Remove Desiccant (if present). Test Insulation Resistance (see Tests Before
Operation). Regardless of the m ethod of storage, the windings of
every motor should be tested prior to placing in service. See Insulation Resistance Section under Corrective Maintenance Section.
Normal Operation
Start the motor in accordance with standard instructions for the starting equipment used. Sometimes the load should be reduced to the minimum, particularly for reduced voltage starting, and/or high inertia connected loads.
Voltage/Frequency Variat ion
Motors will operate successfully under the following conditions of voltage and f requency variation, but not necessarily in accordance with the standards established for operating under rated conditions:
1. If the variation in voltage does not exceed 10% above or below rated voltage, with all phases balanced. Voltage unbalance should not exceed 1%.
2. If the variation in frequency does not exceed 5% above or below rated frequency.
3. If the sum of the voltage and f requency variations does not exceed 10% abo ve or be low rated valu es provided the frequency variation does not exceed 5%.

Loading
Overloading causes overheating and reduces insulation life. A winding subjected to a 10°C temperature rise above the maximum limit for its class may have its insulation life halved.
Under loading a motor is improper as it lowers the motor power factor and efficiency which results in higher power cost.
Temperature
Electrical apparatus operating under normal conditions becomes quite warm. Although some places may feel hot to the touch, the unit may be within limits. If checking total temperature by winding resis tance or imbedded det ector (RTD), the total temperature should not exceed the following: When operating at full load:

Two factors that require c orrective maintenance are electrical failure or mechanical fai lure. The f irst sign of electrical failure is usually low insulation resistance. Mechanical failures are usually preceded by excessive bearing noise or heat.
Low Insulation Resistance
Factors that usually cause low insulation readings are:
1. Dirty windings (oil, dust, grease, salt, etc.).
2. Excessive moisture.
3. Mechanically damaged insulation.
4. Heat deterioration
Dirty windings can be cleaned and moist windings dried; however, items 3 and 4 require extensive repairs by a certified service center.

Cleaning Clean the inside and outside of the motor regularly. Actual conditions existing around the motor dictate the frequency of cleaning operations. Use the following procedures as they apply.
1. Wipe off dust, dirt, o il, water, etc., from external surfaces of the m otor. These materials c an work into or be carried into the motor windings and may cause overheating or insulation breakdown.
2. Remove dirt, dust, or oth er debr is f r om venti latin g air inlets and exhausts. Do not operate motor with air passages blocked or restricted.
Rotor Cleaning
Remove rotor. Inspect air vents and remove any obstructions.
Stator Cleaning
MICLAD™ form wound VPI (vacuum pressure impregnated) insulated coils may be cleaned with a quick drying solvent and lint free cloths or steam cleaned with low-pressure steam, then the entire stator oven baked at 200°F for 12 hours and then 230°F for 12 hours.
The stator winding insulation resistance should be measured before and after any cleaning operation.
The windings may be cleaned with a solvent compatible with the ins u lat i on s ystem and oven dried. Water and detergents with an ov en drying cycle may be used as an alternate on MICLAD™ VPI ins ulation systems.
MICLAD™ is a Siemens trademark.
Insulation Resistance
Check insulation res istance peri odically. U se a hand cranked or solid sta te ins ul ation res istanc e tes ter and test with at least 500 volts , but not great er than m otor rated voltage.
For motors with newer insulation systems such as MICLAD™ VPI, the insulation resistance after one minute should be greater than 1000 megohms. (Values in excess of 5000 megohms are common.) For older motors, t he minimum value recommended in IEEE Standard 43 can be used. The value in megohms, when corrected to 40°C, is equal to the motor rated voltage in k ilovolts plus 1. For ex ample, for a motor with a rated voltage of 2300 volts, the limit value would be:
2.3 + 1 = 3.3 (megohms).
Drying Insulation
If the insulation resistance is less than satisfactory, and the cause is b el ieve d t o be ex c es siv e moisture in the windings, dry the windings by applying heat from:
1. A warm air oven.
2. Electric strip heaters.
3. Circulating currents through the coils. The heat should be applied slowly so the desired
temperature will not be obtained in less than six hours.

3. Direct a fan on stator to carry away the moisture.
4. Attach temperature indicators to winding and apply heat as specified in the Insulation Drying Temperature table and follow procedures described for drying insulation.
5. Radiant type heaters are not recommended because some parts may become scorched before remote parts reach desired temperature.
Circulating Current Drying
1. Remove bearing housings.
2. Center the rotor in the stator core.
3. Wedge fiber strips into the lower part of the air gap so rotor does not touch stator core, or remove rotor.
4. Direct fan on unit to blow away excessive moisture.
5. Attach temperature indic ator s to windings . Do not exceed the drying temper atures in the Insulation Drying Temperature table.
6. An external source of current can be used to circulate direct current thr ough the windin g of an y type of alternating curr ent motor. A portable low voltage motor-genera tor set, such as is used f or welding, is usually suitable.

CAUTION

High temperatures.
May cause damage to insulation.
When this method is used on the stator, the stator phases may be connected in series or in parallel to suit the available power supply if both ends of all phases are accessible. If only three leads are brought out of the motor, the current may be circulated between one terminal and the other two connected together. If this is done, the temperature of the single lead connection must be checked frequently, and it is desirable to shift the leads occasionally. Usuall y 50 to 100% of full load curr ent will produce the required temperature. T he dc volt ag e required for this current will be 0.25 - 5.0% of the normal voltage per phase, and the corresponding power will be 0.50 - 3.25% of the rating.
Alternating current can be used on the stators of squirrel cage induction motors if the rotors are removed. Alternatin g current is usually not as eas y to control as required voltage control, and a.c. requires a higher volta ge source, appr oximatel y 10 to 30% of the rated winding voltage. In addition, care must be taken that miscellaneous parts adjacent to the windings, such as lead studs, core supporting member, etc., do no overheat due to induced currents and the lack of normal ventilation.

CAUTION

High temperatures.
May cause damage to insulation.
Bearings
Long life of bearin gs is assured only by maintaining proper alignment and good lubrication at all times. Some factors that can caus e excessive bearing no ise and heat are:
1. Incorrect alignment of couplings.
2. Excessive or wrong direction of thrust.
3. Improper lubrication.
Bearing Lubricants - Grease
Prior to shipment, bearings are lubricated with the proper amount and grade of grease to provide satisfactory service under normal operation and conditions. See the lubr ication plate m ounted on the motor for regreasing intervals and recommended type of grease. It is goo d p rac tic e, h o wever, to check bearings of newly installed machines for proper lubrication.

For best results, grease sh ould be compounded of a polyurea type and a good grade of petroleum oil an d stabilized against oxidation.
The frequency of relubricating bearings and the amount added each time depends on two factors ­speed and service.
All grease lube bearing motors will have affixed a plate with lubricating ins tr u ctions . The instructions on this plate should be followed to achieve optimum bearing life and to avoid consequential damage to rotating parts.
Relubricate with the type of grease specified on the lubrication plate mounted on t he m otor, or compatible grease. Mixing of non-compatible greas es c an c aus e bearing failure.
Relubricate bearings with the proper gra de of grease as follows:
1. Stop the motor and lock out the switch.
2. Thoroughly clean the grea se inlet fitting or plug. If the motor has a plug, remove plug and clean the inlet.
3. Remove the drain plu g (and overflow plug, if so equipped) and clean out any hardened greas e.
4. Slowly pump the correct amount of grease into the grease inlet, per the lubrication plate mounted on the motor. Replace inlet plug (and overflow plug, if so equipped).
5. Start motor and allow to ru n at least one (1) hour to expel any excess grease from the drain opening before re-installing the drain plug.
6. Stop the motor and lock out the switch.
7. Re-install the drain plug.
8. Put the motor back in operation.
If unit has been in operation for several years the old grease can harden. If this occurs remove bolts holding bottom inside end cap, raise end cap and wipe out hardened grease. Reassemble and add a small am ount of fresh grease.
If machine is a totally-enclosed or weather-protected type disassembly of the lower bearing may be required to remove old grease. Also clean and refill
Because the lower bearing is single shielded, the grease will not pass through the drain port unless the

To Replace Bearings
1. Remove bolts holding bearing housing to yoke.
2. Remove bolts holding end caps to housings.
3. Remove end housings. Observe location of bearing shims, and remove shims if necessary.
4. Remove snap ring or locknut in front of bearing.
5. Use bearing puller and exert force only on inner race to remove bearing from shaft.
6. Check shaft and housing d iameter for proper size with micrometer. Clean or replace inner bearing cap, and slide cap onto shaft.
7. Heat the new bearing in an oven (200°F). W hile hot, slide the bear ing onto shaft (high thrust un its using angular contact beari ngs having a slip-fit on shaft and need not be hea ted). Make certain the inner race makes a firm even contact with shaft shoulder.
8. Let bearing cool - if grease lubricated bearing, pack caps per Grease Repacking Table with proper grade of grease. Pack all open bearings full between balls or rollers, but remove excess grease from the outside of the retainers. Pack ing of a cap or bearing h ousing c avity sho uld be don e with a grease gun.
9. Before reassembling the top end cap after installing new bearings, check the top edges of the inner and outer races with a dial indicator for squareness of mounting. To assure quiet operation and good bearing life, total indicator reading in each case must be within 0.001 in.
10. Indicate the outer race, attach the indicator body to the shaft, allow the button to bear o n the outer race, and then rotate the shaft slowly by hand.
11. Indicate the inner race, attach the indicator body to the bearing bracket, all ow the button to be ar on the top edge of the inner r ace, an d then r otate the shaft slowly by hand.

End Play
Machines designed for applications invo lving primarily continuous heavy downthrust but having momentary upthrust are equipped with angular contact or spherical roller bearings. Spherical roller bearings may be preloaded with springs (See Figure 8). The end play is most often 0.005 to 0.0 08 in. but see the motor outline for the exact value for your motor. The bottom bearing takes the momentary upthrust and prevents reverse loading of the top bearings. End play is limited by shims when the thrust block is shrunk on the shaft or b y tightening the locknut on the shaft above the beari ng mounting sleeve. The thrust bearings on 2 pole motors are mounted directl y on the shaft and do not require an adjustment by the shims or locknut.

Maintenance
NOTE
(See Figure 8).
NOTE
as close to the babbitt as possible.
Upper Guide (Upthrust) Bearing
Spherical roller thrust bearings are spring loaded and require a positive down thrust in addition to the rotor weight to prevent up thrust on lower guide bearing
Measure axial end p lay by jacking the shaft upward while measuring th e shaft axial m ovement with a dial indicator attached to the upper bearing housing. For motors with spring loaded spherical roller bearings, the rotor end play will m ost often be downward. T he downward rotor displacement can be measured by jacking the rotor downward using a hydraulic jack placed between the top of the shaft and a beam fastened to the upper bearing housing.
When jacking the rotor upward or downward CAUTION should be taken not to exert excessive force on the rotor as this ma y dam age the end c ap or add structural deflections to the axial end play measurement.
Adjust the end pla y us ing shim s of proper design and thickness under the end c ap of the lower bearing in motors with shrink fit thrust block design or by adjusting the thrust b lock travel by loosening the nut above the thrust block in the slip fit thrust block design. It is a good practice to check the end play after final adjustments.
Kingsbury-type Bearings
Thrust Bearing
Principle elements of the Kingsbury-type thrust bearing are the rotating thrust runner and the stationary pivotal thrust shoes (See Figure 7) The runner is the highly polished bottom surface of the thrust block and receives the thrust load through a massive nut above t he thrust block threaded on the top end of the shaft. The pivotal thrust shoes are faced with tin-hard Babbitt and machined to form an accurate surface plate.
During operation, th e thrust bear ing rev olves in an oil bath which covers the bearing. Each shoe is free to tilt slightl y in any direction and sets its elf by pivoting at a minute angle causing a wedge-shape d film of oil to form between the shoe and the runner. An end play of 0.012 – 0. 017 inches is preset at the factory by shims between the thrust plate and the upper guide (upthrust) bearing.
The upper guide (up thrust) bear ing with a Kingsbury­type bearing is locate d just above the rotating thrust runner and is mounted in the s tationary thrust plate. This bearing is babbitted on the inside diameter surface which bears on a ground and polished surface of the thrust block. This bearing is also babbitted on the bottom surface which bears on the ground and polished surf ace of the thrust block. This bearing locates the shaft in the radial direction and transfers upthrust from the shaft through the thrust block to the thrust plate. The thrus t bearing and the lower half of the upper gu id e bear ing ar e im mersed in oil. The upper portion of the upper guide bearing receives oil through radial holes in the thrust block and discharges oil thro ugh radial and hel ical grooves in the guide bearing surface. The discharged oil is deflected through the o il cooler tubes by an oil baffle mounted on the bottom of the thrust plate.
Lower Guide Bearing
The function of the lower guide bearing with a Kingsbury-type beari ng is to pr ovide rad ial locati on of the shaft with no thr ust or end p lay lim it. This beari ng may be one of three types – grease-lubricated ball bearing, oil-lubricated ball bearing, or oil-lubricated sleeve bearing (See Figures 9, 10 and 11).
Oil Operating Temperature
The normal temperature of the oil should be about 50°C to 70°C. The maximum safe temperature for most bearings is 95°C to 100°C at the babbitt.
Bearing temperature should not be judged by feeling the bearing with the hand; temperature should be measured by a thermometer or thermocouple placed
The thrust bearing is cooled by water passing through the heat exchanging copper tubes in the bearing oil bath. The r ate of water f low is dependent on water temperature, volume of oil, and the total friction losses (load) of the bearing. Supply the necessary amount of water required to cool the bearing, but not to exceed the amount specified on the outline drawing.

Maintenance
the runner face
Allow time between starts to permit windings to cool.
To test the tubing for water-tightness empty the oil reservoir, and if possible raise water pressure 50% above normal and observe for a period of time for leaks. Another way is to leave oil in reservoir, pressurize tubes with air and look for bubbles.
If a hot bearing is disc ov er ed, or if the o il t emperature climbs abnormall y fast, the c ause must be found and corrected immediatel y. The most comm on causes of hot bearings are:
1. Stoppage or reduction of cooling water.
2. Lack of oil (low oil level).
3. Contaminated (dirty) oil.
4. Misalignment (couplings or bearings).
5. Plugged oil passages.
6. Rough spots on shaft or bushings.
7. Improper internal clearances (radial or axial).

Rotor Removal
1. Drain oil, unbolt and lift off the upper bearing housing cover.
2. Unbolt inner end cap in lower bear ing hous ing .
3. Unbolt and remove outer end cap in lower bearing housing.
4. Lift upper bearing housing along with the rotor only far enough to reach the air deflector bolts by using the openings provided in the housing
5. Unbolt air deflector and remove, if necessary.
6. Lift upper bearing and rotor completely free of stator.
Thrust Bearing Removal
1. Support rotor weight at sh aft extension with jack or block.
2. Unbolt and lift off upper bearing housing cover.
3. Unbolt thrust plate f rom bearing housing and lift off thrust plate and upper guide bearing.
4. Remove lock nut from shaft and pu ll thrust block from shaft.
5. Lift off the Kingsbury-type thrust bearing from bearing housing or adapter ring.
Cleaning
All parts of the bearing and housings must be thoroughly cleaned before as sem bl y.
Remove anti-rust co atings with an appro ved solvent. Use lint-free rags or cloths for cleaning. Rem ove all burrs, bruises or nicks, and rust from bearing surfaces. Bruises or dents on shoe f aces should be removed with a scraper.
Slight rusting of the runn er f ac e m a y be remove d with a fine oil-stone. If deep rusting occurs, ref inishin g will be necessary.

CAUTION

Indentations on face of bearing runner may cause bearing failure or improper operation.
Never use a coarse-grained stone, scraper, or a file on

Shaft or Flange Face Runout
Because inspection of flange faces, eccentricity and shaft runout is rigorously enforced at the factory, vibrations caused by this alignment pr oblem are rare and usually if shaft r unout, f ac e r uno ut, or ec c entricity are excessive; the equipment has been m istreated in some way.
The method f or chec king shaf t and flan ge fac es is as follows:
On antifriction bearings, it is recommended that the test be made with the shaft vertical to minimize the
Shaft Runout
The shaft runout is measured with the indicator stationary with respect to the machine and with its point at the end of the fin ished surface of the shaft. See Figure 13 for typical fixture.
Read the maximum and minimum values on the indicator as the shaft is rotated slowly through 360 degrees. The differ ence between the readings shall not exceed 0.003 inches.
Eccentricity and Face Runout of Mounting Surfaces
The eccentricity and face runout of the mounting surfaces is measur ed with indicators m ounted on the shaft extension. The point of the eccentricity indicator shall be at approximately the middle of the rabbet surface, and the point of the face runout indicator shall be appr oximatel y the outer d iameter of the mounting face. See F igure 14 for typic al fixture. Read the maximum and minimum values on the indicators as the shaft is r otated slowly through 360 degrees. The differ ence between the readings shall not exceed 0.007 inches.

Spare Parts Vertical Solid & Hollow Shaf t
Nomenclature
Angular Contact Bearing - An antifriction thrust bearing capable of taking high thrust in one axial direction only.
DT Bearing - Two (2) angular contact bearings mounted together to take extra high thrust in one axial direction only.
DB Bearings - Two (2) angular contact bearings mounted together such that each one will take high thrust in opposite directions.
End Play - The axial movement of the shaft. Four Point Bearing - An angular contact bearing
which will take thrust in both directions. Guide Bearing - The bearing mounted in the
housing opposite the thrust bearing. Most are deep groove antifriction bearings.
Thrust block or Bearing Mounting Sleeve - The member keyed to the motor shaft on which the inner race of the thrust bearing is mounted.
Continuous Down Thrust - The thrust developed by the weight of the pump shaft and hydraulic unbalance. This is the thrust value to which the motor thrust bearings are sized.
Maximum Down Thrust - the momentary down thrust that can be developed during shut down of the pump.
Momentary Upthrust - This thrust may develop in some shallow settings during startup. Momentary upthrust is mostly carried by the Guide Bearing in most vertical motors.
Non-Reverse Ratchet or Backstop - A device that permits motor to turn in only one direction. It is used mostly in conjunction with Rigid Coupl ings to prevent turbine pump backspin caused by the water column receding when the motor is de-energized.
Applicable to Hollow Shaft Only
Rigid Coupling or Bolted Coupling - The member to which the pump shaft is keyed. Coupling is bolted to the Thrust Block so that during startup the Guide Bearing will carry the momentary upthrust.
Self-Release Coupling - Similar to the Rigid Coupling except that it will release from the Thrust Block in the event an accidental reversal begins to unscrew the pump shaft. After being disengaged, the motor is free to revolve without damage to the motor or pump.
Coupling Bore or Clutch Bore - That bore or hole in the coupling in which the pump shaft fits.
Pump Adjusting Nut - The nut mounted on the pump shaft above the coupling used to raise and lower the pump shaft to set the impeller to its proper position. After the impeller is set, the nut is bolted to the coupling. The nut is supplied by the pump company.
Hold Down Bolts for Self-Release Coupling - Bolts used to hold the coupling in place during shipment. They must be removed during installation.
Locking Bar - A bar used to prevent the motor shaft from turning while the pump adjusting nut is being turned.
Pump Shaft Guide Bushing - A bronze bushing pressed in a counterbored hole in the bottom of the hollow shaft. This bushing supports the pump shaft from lateral movement. Supplied only upon request.
NOTE: If the lower bearing is insulated this bushing must also be insulated.
