Regular cleaning of the electric motor is a simple procedure that significantly extends its service life. Pollution is one of the main causes of overheating. Let's look at how to clean the engine correctly.
What is the danger of contamination
- Clogged ventilation - there is no heat removal, the engine overheats.
- A layer of dust on the body impairs cooling.
- Dirt in bearings accelerates wear.
- Conductive dustreduces insulation resistance.
How to clean correctly
- De-energize the engine before cleaning.
- Blow out the ventilation ducts and casing with compressed air.
- Clean the housing cooling fins.
- Wipe the surfaces from oil and dust.
- Check whether the fan rotates freely.
Special cases
| Production | Feature |
|---|---|
| Textile | Fibrous dust - frequent blowing |
| Flour milling | Flour dust - risk overheating |
| Woodworking | Sawdust in ventilation |
For heavily dirty engines, external cleaning alone is not enough - disassembly and internal cleaning are required during maintenance. Regular cleaning prevents overheating and extends the life of rewind.
