Under no circumstances may the motor shaft be modified as to configuration or diameter without the approval of Teco Australia. The motor shaft extension must not be subjected to either extreme heat or cold during coupling installation.
Page 12
Teco Installation and Maintenance Manual TEFC Squirrel Cage Induction Motors 3.6.4 It is desirable, in normal operation that the motor operates, so that no axial force is exerted on the coupling. The motor shaft and the driven shaft should be aligned within the following tolerances in both angular and parallel alignment (refer Table 1).
V-belt sheave, the greater the shaft bending stress will be. If bending stress is in excess of the shaft fatigue stress, the shaft may break. If concerned please inform TECO of the size of the sheaves and belt details for checking.

Teco Installation and Maintenance Manual TEFC Squirrel Cage Induction Motors 4.1.4. Bearing Lubrication Grease Lubricated Type. The bearings are initially lubricated with the correct grade of grease at the factory. After installation, long storage and at initial start up/commissioning the bearings must be fully purged with new grease.
Page 20
Teco Installation and Maintenance Manual TEFC Squirrel Cage Induction Motors Motor can be restarted if the initial start fails. Three attempts are permissible when the motor is at ambient (cold) temperature. Two starts in succession are permitted when motor is at normal running temperature.
Teco Installation and Maintenance Manual TEFC Squirrel Cage Induction Motors Voltage variation should be confined to within +/-10% of nameplate voltage, and the three phase voltages should be balanced. Check if the phase currents of the motor, without load, are within +/-5% of the average values.
Page 22
Teco Installation and Maintenance Manual TEFC Squirrel Cage Induction Motors 4.3.2. Vibration: The ideal values generally for motors are figures below 2.8mm/sec. If vibration exceeds this level, an examination of the motor, load, structure etc, should be made to determine the cause, the first check to undertake would be to run the motor un-coupled and check if the vibration is still evident, see section 5.4 Vibration.
Teco Installation and Maintenance Manual TEFC Squirrel Cage Induction Motors Chapter 5: ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 5.1. IMPORTANCE OF DAILY INSPECTION. 5.1.1. Normally electric motors do not fail suddenly. It happens over time, and regular inspection will detect a problem before a serious situation develops.
Teco Installation and Maintenance Manual TEFC Squirrel Cage Induction Motors 5.3.2. Main causes of high temperature: Motor Conditions Voltage and frequency variation of power source is in excess of tolerance. Unbalanced three phase voltage, open circuit or poor contact. iii.
Teco Installation and Maintenance Manual TEFC Squirrel Cage Induction Motors Deformation of shaft. iii. Loose parts or couplings. 5.5. NOISE. 5.5.1. Points to Note. Not all noise is the result of a fault or abnormality. For instance, wind and slight electromagnetic sounds are perfectly normal. They will remain at the same level no matter how long the motor is in operation.
Teco Installation and Maintenance Manual TEFC Squirrel Cage Induction Motors 5.6. ODOUR. 5.6.1. Causes of motor odours: Short circuit or over current causing overheating of varnish. Poor lubrication due to insufficient or contaminated grease. 5.7. MEASUREMENT OF THREE PHASE CURRENT.
