@@diyEVguy Thanks for the answer! One more question. In this motor, have you seen such a "brush!? Its condition? th-cam.com/video/VW4_ICHFTM0/w-d-xo.html
They are extremely expensive, unless the bearing is trashed and gritty I wouldn't replace it if the seals can be removed and reinstalled without damage.
To be honest- this is rather shtty from Tesla. Ball bearings? In a day and age of cheap high precision roller bearings? Intolerable. I'd swap the Tesla SKF with roller needle bearings.
I don't have experience in motor design. Do you happen to have references to designs examples with similar conditions as this motor where high precision roller bearings are shown to be a better choice? Also which needle bearings would you recommend?
@@diyEVguywell the examples are the many aircraft piston engines for example Mercedes Benz DB601-605 series in WW2. Look up DB601 +bearings '+cutaway you'll see a cutaway of crank to conrod bearing is roller bearings. Also the maybach powerpack for the various tanks had roller bearings. You need to give me the bearing and number so I can cross reference it with an NSK or SKF chart or you can look up pedfs of SKF, Timken, NSK whoever you use spec charts. Efficiency improvement above 5% is possible- 5% more torque and power sound good enough for me to shell out for some proper bearings instead of the crud Tesla use.

@@markiobook8639 The Tesla motor needs hybrid ceramic bearings (ceramic balls in metal races) due to the "common mode" voltages created by the variable frequency drive. Maybe ceramic balls were more widely available. Also the radial loads are relatively low and the speed is very high (>10,000RPM). From the perspective of load bearing capabilities, a line contact from needle bearings may not be needed.
@@diyEVguy You may be correct their I was wondering why ceramic bearings at all since it's not a high heat application- yes I think you may be right about insulation properties- perhaps metal bearings arc or have the potential to arc- no good for lithium battery packs.
No way, these "nano-ceramic" coated bearings are made to be non-conductive. The first non-conductive high-speed motor bearings ever created. At the speeds the Tesla motors are capable of, 16000+ rpm, It appears that high current arcing causes all other types of conductive bearings to fail.
5:30 A wooden wedge with a slot for the shaft might work. Exactly like removing a chuck that uses a taper mount.
To remove the bearing seal, go from the outer edge, any damage caused on that side is at least not a moving seal surface.
you have to use kluber nbu 15
👍👍
Hello, how did you remove the reluctor ring before the bearing?
I show that in one of my previous videos.
I dont know you expensive this bearings are but it is the equivalent to me like changing idler pulley thats broken and not the driving belt.
Thanks
What’s about coolant seal 30x55x8 ?
See here about that seal: th-cam.com/video/wwuJc5iBP2M/w-d-xo.html
This rotor speed very high, for ceramic hybryd bearing you need spesial very expensive grease, skf lghp not for very high speed.
Sorry for my english)
Which specific grease would you recommend?
@@diyEVguyMaybe Kluber BF-7222.
@@diyEVguykluber nbu 15 or kluber 72 42
and also 7222
Yeah NBU 15 is very good @@spindlehospital5263
Please clarify, have you replaced the ceramic bearings with new ones or not?
No I re-used the old ones and I "repacked" them with fresh new grease.

dont be a fool. buy bearings. they cost close to nothing.
Where to buy cheap?
I could imagine bearings for a motor like this wouldn't be cheap but not crazy expensive. Maybe $50 a pop
Try 500 for 2 😂
Please do not make like shown in this video!
