Noise in CLM-3 motors on ARRI WCU-3 wireless focus system and lubrication options
What the thread found
- Audible noise during operation from CLM-3 motors may indicate wear in bearings or internal gears that could require replacement or motor overhaul rather than simple lubrication
- The underlying cause of motor noise should be diagnosed through inspection before attempting lubrication, as the problem may stem from internal component wear
Depends on
- No specific lubricant or grease type was recommended in the discussion
- No confirmation of whether lubrication alone would resolve the noise issue
- The discussion does not specify which bearing or gear components might be affected
