Abstract :
This paper discusses the recent improvements in applications of motors. Oil mist lubrication is cost-effective method for lubricating electric motor bearings. Reliability can be improved by oil mist lubrication, provided with system analysis, motor insulation system compatibility, bearing and bearing housing has a though flow system to lubricate properly. Advances in the bearing housing sealing system has made an electric motor with oil mist lubrication an environmentally friendly motor.
