Extending Motor Life: Why IP55 + Premium Bearings = Unbeatable Defense

Motor failure = production shutdown. IP55 is your universal shield.  

When a motor fails in a bottling plant or hospital ventilator, costs cascade: downtime (€15k+/hour), emergency repairs, lost contracts. 80% of failures start with two killers: bearing wear or contamination. At BLAUBERG, we combat both with a hardened core design.  

Defense Layer 1: Bearings Built for Endurance  

✓ Precision Bearings  

✓ Grease -Stable from extreme temperatures

✓ Balanced Rotors – Reduce vibration wear

Defense Layer 2: IP55 – The Industrial Sweet Spot  

| Threat          | IP55 Protection                              | Real-World Impact                          |  

|-----------------|----------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|  

| Dust & Chips| Full dust ingress prevention                 | No grinding paste in food conveyors        |  

| Water Jets  | Resists low-pressure spray from any direction| Survives washdowns in dairy plants         |  

| Humidity    | Sealed against condensation                  | Prevents corrosion in tropical HVAC units  |  

Why IP55 Beats "Flexible" Options:  

- ✦ No compromise reliability: Standardized IP55 across all motors = consistent quality control  

- ✦ Cost efficiency: No custom sealing fees or inventory complexity  

- ✦ Global compliance: Meets EU Machinery Directive & UL 1004-1 requirements  

BLAUBERG’s Durability Engineering:  

- 100% salt spray tested (ISO 9227)  

- Optional corrosion-resistant coatings for acidic environments
