Maintenance Requirements for Diesel Generator Bearings

The rotors of diesel generators generally use rolling bearings, which are lubricated with grease. Usually, the universal diesel generator uses ZGN-3 calcium-based grease, and the moist heat type diesel generator uses ZL-3 lithium-based bearing grease. Under normal circumstances, when the diesel generator runs continuously for about 1500h, the grease should be replaced to ensure the normal operation of the diesel generator.

The working quality of the bearing directly affects the operation reliability of the diesel generator, so we should pay attention to maintenance.


The intact bearing is measured with a thickness gauge under field conditions. The matching clearance between the inner and outer circles of the bearing and the ball (column) is appropriate, and no shaking can be detected. The appearance of each part is good: no damage, no corrosion, no cracks, good roundness and surface roughness of the rolling contact surface, when holding the inner ring to dial the outer ring, the rotation is flexible and brisk, and the sound is uniform and no noise.


The maintenance requirements for diesel generator bearings are regular cleaning, inspection and greasing.


The cleaning method is: First take out the old grease with bamboo (wood) pieces, and wash the bearing with a brush dipped in gasoline or kerosene. Under field conditions, it can be cleaned without removing it from the shaft. If you take it off for cleaning, you can put it in a warm machine sleeve or diesel for brushing after taking out the old grease. After brushing clean, rinse the bearing once with an appropriate amount of kerosene, and then add new grease.


Adding lubricating grease must require the specified grade and quantity (generally, the amount of grease added accounts for 1/2 to 2/3 of the inner volume of the bearing). Not too much, not too little. Too much the lubricating grease will cause poor heat dissipation of the bearing, and the temperature will rise. If the lubricating grease is too little, the lubrication cannot be guaranteed, and the wear will increase.


In addition, in the maintenance of diesel generator bearings, it should be noted that the bearing "puller" should be used to remove the bearing, and it should not be knocked hard with a hammer. The inner and outer covers of the motor bearing should be kept intact, the oil seal felt ring is intact, and the screws are complete and tightened. If the felt ring is damaged, it should be made and replaced with industrial felt, and cannot be replaced with soft civilian felt. Dirty, hardened (deteriorated) greases or greases with impurities such as sand or iron filings should not be used.

Components of Cummins PT Fuel System

When it comes to Cummins generator, it is well known that the gensets have good quality, low fuel consumption, low noise, big output power and reliable performance. The reliable stability, economy, power performance, durability and environmental safety is welcomed by customers. In last article, we talk about CCEC Cummins diesel engines operating principles. Well, in this article, you will learn what are the major components of its PT Fuel System. Fuel System The PT fuel system is used exclusively on Cummins Diesels. The identifying letters, “ PT ” are an abbreviation for “ pressure-time ” . The operation of the Cummins PT Fuel System is based on the principle that the volume of liquid flow is proportionate to the fluid pressure, the time allowed to flow and the passage size through which the liquid flows. To apply this simple principle to the Cummins PT Fuel System , it is necessary to provide: 1. A fuel pump. 2. A means of controlling pressure of

Leroy-Somer Alternator AVR R450

1 - GENERAL INFORMATION of Leroy-Somer Alternator AVR R450 1.1 - Description The R450 AVR is supplied in a casing designed to be mounted on a panel with dampers. - Operating temperature: - 30°C to + 65°C. - Storage temperature: - 55°C to + 85°C. - Shocks on the base: 9 g depending on the 3 axes. - Vibrations: less than 10 Hz, 2 mm half-peak amplitude 10 Hz to 100 Hz: 100 mm/s, above 100 Hz: 8 g. The AVR is IP00, it must be incorporated in an environment which ensures it a IP20 protection. 1.2 - Characteristic The connection is realised by “Faston” connectors and the voltage sensing is single - phase. 2 - POWER SUPPLY Both the SHUNT/AREP & PMG excitation systems are controlled by the AVR. 2.1 - AREP excitation system With AREP excitation, the electronic AVR is powered by two auxiliary windings which are independent of the voltage sensing circuit. The first winding has a voltage proportional to the   alternator   main voltage (Shunt characteristic),
