Most motors run in dirty and harsh environments, which means they need more attention. This attention is not complex and usually very straightforward – but often overlooked. In this example, motors are operating in a brass stamping process which takes quite a bit of lubrication causing motors to operate in an oily environment. These motors are on the front line of the process and need to be cleaned regularly to allow them to breathe and not overheat.
