3. Differentiated selection of scenarios with AC motors

Comparison dimension Baldor Reliance brushed DC motor ordinary AC motor

Core advantages include wide speed range, large starting torque, smooth speed regulation, simple structure, low maintenance cost, and adaptability to high-temperature and flammable environments

Applicable scenarios include precision speed regulation, heavy load start-up, reversible operation equipment with constant speed operation, high dust and high temperature environment, and large power equipment

Maintenance focus: regular inspection of carbon brush wear, cleaning of commutator debris, routine insulation testing, and maintenance of bearing lubrication

For scenarios that require uniform stepless speed regulation or heavy load starting, brushed DC motors are a better choice; For scenarios with constant speed operation, harsh environments, and inconvenient maintenance, AC motors can be given priority consideration.

Maintenance and troubleshooting

Standardized maintenance is the key to extending the service life of brushed DC motors, and its core lies in paying attention to the characteristics and common fault points of the brushed structure.

1. Key points of daily maintenance

Carbon brush maintenance: Regularly check the wear of the BP5011T01 model carbon brush, and replace it in a timely manner when the wear exceeds 1/3. Replace the BP5012A04SP brush spring and 33RK5004SP rocker arm to ensure good contact between the brush and the commutator;

Lubrication management: The bearings use Polyrex EM grease, which is replenished every 5000 hours of normal operation and shortened to 3000 hours in high temperature environments;

Cleaning and maintenance: Regularly clean the dust on the surface of the motor and the carbon powder around the commutator to avoid insulation degradation or mechanical jamming caused by accumulation;

Temperature monitoring: Monitor the temperature of the motor body during operation, which should not exceed 70 ° C, and the temperature of the bearings should not exceed 60 ° C. If there is an abnormal high temperature, immediately stop the machine for inspection.

2. Common troubleshooting

Unstable speed: Check the contact status of the carbon brush, clean the dirt on the surface of the commutator, confirm the stability of the armature voltage, and investigate the problem of poor contact of the leads;

Insufficient torque: Measure whether the armature current reaches the rated value (3.2A), check whether the winding insulation is aging, and confirm whether the load exceeds the rated power;

Abnormal noise: Check the lubrication status of the bearings, check the concentricity between the shaft and the coupling, and confirm whether the friction between the carbon brush and the commutator is uniform.
