The only maintenance steps mentioned in the Servo Power Feed Maintenance sheet that came with my new unit seem to be: keep the unit as dry as possible, wipe down at the end of each shift, check the brushes monthly and replace if less than 1/4" long, and every three months of operation remove the bottom cover and lightly grease the large spur gear (but don't overgrease as it could damage the motor). The bevel gear also needs to kept greased with bearing grease.Just wondering if there is any preventive maintenance that should be done to keep it running good ?.
Seems to work good now , just want to keep it working good
Thanks
If the commutator looks good leave it alone.I took a look at the brushes and they have oil on them , any one ever take one apart and clean the motor, seems to work good just concerned
How do the brushes look?Looking in the brush hole , looks wet w oil ,dark in there
Overlubrication is a perennial problem with motors. I probably would take it apart and clean it, but I'm comfortable with taking motors apart.They have plenty brunch left , they are black oily goo, I have new brushes but the ones in it have lots left. Guess the PO used lots of oil , would you clean it out somehow,
