Oil level fluctuates in bearing housing

MaintenanceForums

Hi All,

Appreciate your thoughts frond the oil level being rises and falls inside motor bearing house ?

The motor bearing house has plain bearing and is supplied with continuous oil feed. It has also oil ring.

Thanks

Blocked/partially blocked vent in sight glass or bearing housing, small hole at top of sight glass must be clear for gauge to work correctly, see image

Air seals on bearing housings are dirty where shaft enters/exits the bearing housing

Oil ring not turning all the time

Dirt moving around inside of housing blocking oil to sight glass

All can cause oil level to fluctuate
