Bearing type and maintenance technique will vary according to motor frame size. When maintaining, conrm the bearing type by
referring to the nameplate and Table 8-14.
When using a vector motor, other manufacturer’s motor (There are some models made by other manufacture.), refer to the operation
manual for that motor.

(1) Sealed Bearing Maintenance
Although it will depend on operation conditions, maintenance with disassembly after approximately 20,000 hours or 3 to 5 years will
further increase lifetime.
Contact the nearest authorized service station regarding maintenance with disassembly.
(2) Open Bearing Maintenance
Check the bearing number on the nameplate, and replenish grease in accordance with with Table 8-15.
