Electric Motor is an electro-mechanical device that converts
electrical energy to mechanical energy.
Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction
law shows the relationship between electric circuit and magnetic
field.
Faradays 1st law
Any change in the magnetic field of a coil of wire will cause an emf
to be induced in the coil. This emf induced is called induced emf
and if the conductor circuit is closed, the current will also circulate
through the circuit and this current is called induced current.
Faradays 2nd law
It states that the magnitude of emf induced in the coil is equal to the
rate of change of flux that linkages with the coil. The flux linkage of
the coil is the product of number of turns in the coil and flux
associated with the coil.

Shaft - is a mechanical component for transmitting torque and
rotation
Windings - are laid in coils, usually wrapped around a
laminated soft iron magnetic core so as to form magnetic
poles when energized with current.
Ball / Roller/ Sleeve/ Antifriction bearings - which allow the
rotor to turn on its axis
Armature - power-producing component of an alternator,
generator, dynamo or motor.
Rotor- isthe moving part is the rotor, which turns the shaft to
deliver the mechanical power
Stator - stationary part of the motor’s electromagnetic
circuit and usually consists of either windings or
permanent magnets
Commutator – s a mechanism used to switch the input
of most DC machines and certain AC machines
consisting of slip ring segments insulated from each
other and from the electric motor's shaft.
Brushes - is a device which conducts current between
stationary wires and moving parts, most commonly in
a rotating shaft.
Frame - is the main supporting structure of
a motor to which all other components are attached
Over-Current (Electrical Overload)
Low Resistance
Over Heating
Dirt
Moisture
Vibration
Perform visual inspections on the motor.
Brush and Commutator Maintenance
Motor Winding Tests
Bearings: Lubrication and Replacement
Checklist for Customers
Clean motor, blowing out dirt from windings, and wipe commutator and brushes.
Visually inspect commutator clamping ring.
Check and replace brushes that are more than half worn.
Examine brush holders, and clean them if dirty.
Check brush pressure and position.
Remove, clean out, and replace oil in sleeve bearings.
Check grease in ball or roller bearings.
Check operating speed or speeds.
Technician to examine and tighten loose connections.
Test current input and compare it with normal.
Visually check drive, for smooth running, absence of vibration.
Check motor foot bolts.
Remove and renew grease in ball or roller bearing.
Test insulation.
Clean out magnetic dirt that may be attached to poles.
Check clearance between shaft and journal boxes of
sleeve bearing motors.
Check the commutator for smoothness and slot damage.
Examine connections of commutator and armature coils.
Inspect armature bands
