Details
Innomotics’ oil‑lubricated rolling bearings (OLRB) are a patented system that replaces conventional grease‑lubricated bearings in high‑voltage motors. Using an oil ring, sealed housing and lower operating temperatures, OLRB significantly increases reliability while minimizing maintenance. The result: up to 2–3 years of low‑maintenance operation, fewer lubrication‑related failures and maximum uptime across demanding industrial environments.
The Jury‘s Statement
The reliability of high-voltage motors is often compromised by wear and the maintenance requirements of roller bearings. OLRB offers a groundbreaking solution here, setting new standards with a fully oil-lubricated system based on standard ISO bearings. Thanks to innovative oil ring lubrication and a sealed housing, OLRB enables significantly longer maintenance intervals, minimises the risk of failure, reduces downtime and considerably increases plant availability. The combination of proven bearing technology and the thermal benefits of oil lubrication ensures a sustained improvement in service life and efficiency. This innovation thus makes a significant contribution to increasing operational reliability in industry and significantly reducing maintenance costs.
