How Many Years Does a Motor Last?
1 Answers
The lifespan of an automotive generator is generally around 15 years. Below are some maintenance measures for automotive generators: 1. Pay attention to the wear of bearings: If insufficient lubrication is found, a few drops of oil can be added from the oil cup opening, but be careful not to let it seep into the commutator, as this could affect the electrical transmission efficiency. 2. If the brush contact surface is uneven, it can be smoothed with fine sandpaper: If the spring elasticity is insufficient or the brush is excessively worn, new parts must be replaced. If the brush is too short but not damaged, shims can be inserted into the bracket to ensure tight contact with the commutator. 3. The dust seal on the generator should be secure: It should not be removed, to prevent dust from entering the interior and causing mechanical failures.
