The Causes of Abnormal Noise in Motors and How to Fix Them

---

Abnormal noise from a motor can be both annoying and a sign of underlying issues that need immediate attention. If you hear strange sounds while your motor is running, it's important to identify the cause and take corrective action. Here are some common reasons for abnormal noises and how to resolve them: 1. **Stator and Rotor Rubbing**: A sharp "beep" or grinding sound may occur when the stator and rotor come into contact. This is often caused by faulty bearings. Inspect the bearing for damage and replace it if necessary. If the bearing is not damaged but shows signs of wear, consider replacing the bearing or adjusting the end caps. 2. **Phase Imbalance**: If the motor is operating out of phase, it may produce a loud humming noise. Try turning the motor off and on again to see if it starts normally. If it doesn’t start, there might be a blown fuse or poor contact between the switch and contactor. Check for any missing phases or loose connections. 3. **Low Bearing Lubrication**: A "beep" or squeaking sound coming from the bearing area usually indicates insufficient lubrication. Remove the bearing and apply fresh oil to restore proper function. 4. **Blade Contact with the Housing**: If the fan blade touches the housing or has debris stuck to it, it may create an impact-like noise. Inspect the blades and remove any foreign objects to prevent further damage. 5. **Faulty Rotor Bars or Winding Connections**: Cracked rotor bars in a squirrel cage motor or disconnected windings in a wound rotor can lead to irregular "beep" sounds, slower rotation, and increased current draw. Check the rotor and stator alignment. If the stator is significantly longer than the rotor, or if the bearing hole in the end cap is worn, this can cause axial vibration and noise. Adjustments or replacements may be needed. 6. **Faulty Stator Winding**: A humming sound combined with reduced speed may indicate a problem with the first end of the stator winding. Inspect the winding for damage and repair or replace as needed. If you're unsure about the cause of the noise, it’s always best to consult a professional technician to avoid further damage. Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent many of these issues before they become serious. **Related Bearing Knowledge** - Storage and transportation of SKF bearings - NSK bearing components, including angular contact ball bearings and their applications - Features of hybrid ceramic bearings and the use of wheel bearing protection This article was originally published on China Bearing Network.

Diamond Grinding Wheels

Diamond Grinding Wheels revolutionized the abrasives industry. Through the use of a unique core bonding technology, these grinding wheels last longer and outperform with far less sparks and odor than traditional grinding wheels for fast cutting, back cutting, gully grinding and bead finishing.

Diamond grinding wheel also have different types , such as electroplated diamond grinding wheels, vitrified diamond grinding wheels, resin bond diamond grinding wheels, vacuum brazing diamond grinding wheels. There are four kind of bonding processing methed. Each type has their unique special advantages for different type of working materials.

Kemei produce all four types fo diamond and CBN Grinding Wheels. Please contact us for more information and better grinding solutions.
