Follow us on: ® SKF is a registered trademark of the SKF Group © SKF Group 2020 Electric motors are among the most frequently occurring systems in reliability incident reports, a problem that can lead to a continual cycle of costly repairs and unplanned downtime. 40%-70% of electric motor failures are bear- ing related, but most motor rebuilders are not trained to investigate the underlying causes of bearing failure. Many simply replace the bearings and return the motor to service even though it is sure to fail in exactly the same way again.
