How many lube points are on a Leeson AC motor? Cat# g140471.00. How much lube grease is to be applied?
If its less than 10 or 20 horsepower you'll probably cause more problems trying to lube electric motors than you'll prevent. Unless its in a very hot location its likely you'll have an electrical problem with the motor before the beaings ever fail. I've seen motors where the seals had been blown by over lubing and the windings were full of grease. Motors with good sealed bearings don't need a lot of attention for lubrication anyway.
If i remember right there are two lube points. Most AC motors have lube points at the upper and lower bearings. about 6 ounces of DOD-G-24508A grease is about all you need. Over greasing can lead to a messy situation. The way we grease at work is based on the motor horse power. It's not exactly an exact science. Mobile Red is a good substitute for 24508. Silicone grease can be used but tends to not last as long.
