Hi john

Check the motor manufacturers manual it usually tells you in there,also check the nameplate on the motor it sometimes tells you the grease and time period.

More motors are lost to over greasing than under greasing.
An old school rule of thumb for a mill running two shifts was one shot per bearing for small motors, two shots for larger motors, once a year.
When in doubt, leave it for next year.

I might help if you specified the type of motors and there rating, serial number etc, can you not find anything in the manufacturers manuals? failing that contact Siemens and enquire with them.

Check out the following article. It includes a table from EPRI NP-7502 that provides intervals based on machine size (hp), speed, load configuration, ambient temperature, and operation (continuous or standby).

My supervisor's policy was to add a small amount of grease every year. Records were kept. If a motor had been changed during the previous year, it was not greased and a new entry started.
That is great information, spciesla. lps
johngladstone: I defer to the information provided by spciesla.
