Motors that have been left unused for a long time cannot be used directly. The following steps need to be performed:
1. Clean the motor
Dust and dirt may accumulate on the surface of a motor that has not been used for a long time, and these dirt may affect the normal operation of the motor. Before starting the motor, the surface of the motor should be cleaned and the cleaning work should be ensured.
2. Check the condition of the motor and wires
When left unused for long periods of time, the connections between wires and motors may become corroded, rusted, or damaged, requiring repair or replacement. Make sure that the various connections and circuits of the motor are working properly to ensure the normal operation of the motor.
3. Lubrication
To ensure smooth operation of the motor, proper lubricants and oils are required. Check whether the motor needs relubrication to maintain proper lubrication.
4. Check the running shaft
Check the machine's shafts to make sure they are not rusted, worn, or have other problems. If left unattended, these problems can lead to direct damage to the motor, so it must be inspected.
5. Start the motor
After making other checks and adjustments, you can start the motor. Before starting the motor, pay attention to whether there is abnormal noise and operating temperature. When you start the motor, be sure to accelerate slowly to avoid overloading or damaging the motor.
In conclusion, it is important to get the work needed to get a motor that has been left unused for a long time back in working order. By taking the following steps, you can ensure a smooth and normal return of the motor to work, reducing downtime and production losses due to motor failure.
