Why is my roof-fan motor running hot?

Roof fan (Lomanco) quit working. Motor was almost impossible to turn by hand. Took it apart, lubed bearings at both ends. Fan now works fine. But it seems to me that motor gets too hot to the touch. What is "too hot"? If motor does get too hot, will thermal switch turn it off?
