Electric motors are indispensable across virtually all industries for a wide variety of applications. The requirements for rolling bearings depend on the size and area of application. Small electric motors, such as those found in household appliances or consumer goods, must be compact and quiet, support high speeds, and offer a long service life with minimal maintenance. Bearing solutions for small electric motors are therefore frequently lifetime lubricated. For medium electric motors up to 500 kW, used in industrial machinery, pumps, and fans, robust rolling bearings are critical. Bearings must support high load capacities under varying loads, minimize friction, and enhance energy efficiency. For large electric motors, applied in heavy industry and power generation, rolling bearings that can carry heavy loads and simultaneously withstand shocks and vibrations are essential. Bearings need to be easy to maintain and resilient to extreme conditions. Selecting the right rolling bearings is vital for the performance and service life of your motors and must therefore be precisely tailored to the specific requirements of each application.
