What should I do if the motor overheats

As a mechanical device, DC motors are widely used in all walks of life. After research by Vshida, it has been shown that heat will occur during use, and some users worry that the quality of the motor may be affected. In fact, it is normal for the engine to overheat, not the quality of the machine. Below, Vshida Micro motor company introduces the causes and solutions of motor heating.

1. If the brush pressure of the DC motor is too tight, the temperature of the commutator will be too high. At this time, the pressure spring should be adjusted to reduce the pressure.

2. The commutator commutator insulation bulge can also cause the motor to overheat, if you find the engine is hot, you should stop turning it.

3. The carbon brush must be adjusted horizontally and diagonally, because improper adjustment of the carbon brush will cause the motor to overheat.

4. The high temperature of the DC motor will cause damage to the bearing, which needs to be replaced in time. At the same time, due to the lack of bearing lubricant, the clearance between the bearing and the journal is not well matched, and the bearing temperature may increase.

5. The armature or excitation of the DC motor has a short circuit or open welding. If the windings get wet, the motor will also get hot. The motor should be replaced or damped on time.

After reading our explanation, are there any better ideas and methods to deal with the phenomenon of motor overheating? In general, the heating of the DC motor is mainly caused by the above five factors. If you find that the motor is overheating during use, you can try the above methods first. If that doesn't work, you can contact the manufacturer for a solution from an expert.
