| On
September 10, 2003 we asked:
"You have just been hired
as a maintenance engineer for a large manufacturing plant.
The plant has a history of never greasing electric motor
bearings, believing that this practice does more harm
than good. The plant has a mix of motors, some of which
have been in service for 10 years, others just a few months.
Depending on motor manufacturer, speed and horsepower,
there is everything from sealed and shielded bearings
to open bearings. How would you go about developing a
regreasing strategy for these motors?"
Thanks to everyone
that participated in this Readers Challenge. We received
a LOT of responses. Below is this week's winner and
some of the other responses that we received.
