Inspection
Incoming Photo Stripdown report
The motor was dismantled and inspected. There was
evidence of a slight oil/water contamination in the motor.
The bearings were removed from the rotor and it was
evident the drive end bearing had failed.
Failure Photo Failure Analysis
The drive end SKF NU316ECP roller bearing was investigated,
the lubricant was contaminated and the fibre cage had failed.
There was evidence of the rollers skidding on the outer race of
the bearing (seen on further photos).
The failing bearing was detected early and the motor was
removed before any major damage was caused, we believe the
motor was only days away from failure.
In our opinion failure of this motor is down to failed lubrication
caused by contaminate.
Repair / Service
Repair Carried Out
All repairs carried out by Fletcher Moorland are to best practice and follow the strict SKF certified rebuilder
requirements.
Following stripdown, the motor internals and externals were blast cleaned. The motor windings were
statically tested (Resistance, Megger, HI-POT and Baker Surge) for each winding on this 2 speed motor. All
mechanical fits were checked against a fit table and were within tolerance. The rotor was checked and
balanced to an enhanced G1.0 balance specification for lower operating vibration. All motor internals were
sprayed with and anti-track paint. Genuine SKF bearings were fitted to the rotor and the motor was rebuilt.
Fresh lubricant was pumped into the bearings and chambers. The inductive pick-up sensor was checked
and tested for operation and re-fitted to the motor. The pulley was cleaned and checked then fitted to the
motor. A full run test was carried out at both speeds (2 & 4 pole). All mechanical vibration and bearing
checks were carried out. The motor was painted then dispatched to your site.

Further Analysis / Information
Photo Rolling element NU316ECP Description Flats on rollers
The rolling elements of the drive end bearing show flats
evident, this can be caused when the rolling elements
skid on the raceways. This can be seen in the middle of
the roller on the photograph.
Photo Outer raceway NU316ECP Description Marking on raceway
The outer race of the bearing shows a pattern not unlike
electrical discharge damage on a bearing. In this case it
is our opinion that these marks have been caused by
the rolling elements skidding and jamming on the
raceway, further marking around the raceway shows
traditional smearing marking that is usually associated
with rolling elements slipping on the raceway.(see
below)
