A premier alternative to a costly replacement is a precision repair. Our expert Armature and Motor Winding Team has been busy in the workshop delivering meticulous rewinds designed to restore efficiency and maximise equipment life.

A quality rewind doesn't just fix a fault; it restores asset reliability and protects your bottom line from unnecessary downtime.

Before you opt to replace a failing asset, let our technical team evaluate whether a repair is the smarter path forward for your operation.

When a critical electric motor fails, replacement is often treated as the default solution. However, a high-quality rewind and repair is frequently the more financially and operationally viable alternative.

Restoring your existing asset can optimise performance, enhance efficiency, and extend equipment lifecycle, all while minimising capital expenditure and lead-time downtime.

Industrial electric motors are highly reliable, but they rarely fail without warning. Operating under the philosophy of "if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it" inevitably leads to costly, unplanned downtime.

Explore the primary warning signs, their root causes, and how to intervene early to protect your operational efficiency. ➡️

Currently in progress: the overhaul of a 5.6 tonne ship's propulsion gearbox.

Work of this scale demands both the right machine capacity and exacting attention to tolerance, critical factors in restoring a component that plays such a central role in a vessel's propulsion system.

Another day, another OPTIME condition monitoring install underway by Sutton.

Adding sensors to an existing asset structure is seamless, and spinning up a brand new asset takes less than 30 seconds. Fast, simple, no fuss.

All sensors are already streaming data to the cloud in real time, and they've now entered their one-week learning phase, building a baseline across different loads and process conditions to fine-tune what "normal" looks like.

Exciting things ahead as the data starts rolling in.

How much sawdust should you store inside a servo motor?

Ideally, none.

This Yaskawa servo motor recently came into our workshop in need of some attention, with a significant build-up of sawdust contamination inside the motor. The contamination had entered through a broken power connector, allowing dust and debris to find their way into areas where they definitely shouldn't be.

Contamination is one of the most common causes of servo motor issues. Over time, dust and debris can affect bearings, cooling, feedback systems, and overall reliability, increasing the risk of unexpected failures and costly downtime.

Following a thorough inspection, cleaning, testing, and restoration, the motor was returned to a much healthier condition and ready to go back into service.

The project was also supported by our Octava diagnostic technology, helping alexander accurately assess the motor's condition and validate performance throughout the repair process.

When it comes to fan balancing, getting the vibration level down is only part of the job.

Recently, our Senior Reliability Engineer, Sutton, was carrying out fan balancing as part of a commissioning programme. But rather than simply checking the 1x vibration level and moving on, Tom took a much deeper approach.

Bearing temperatures were monitored throughout the process, full spectrum vibration readings were collected and verified against online monitoring systems and DCS data, and the fan was gradually ramped up to identify any resonance zones where operation should be avoided.

This level of attention to detail helps ensure equipment is not only balanced correctly, but is operating safely, reliably, and efficiently before being handed back to the customer.

It's this thorough approach that helps reduce risk, improve reliability, and build long-term trust with our customers, often leading to repeat work and ongoing partnerships.

Are breakdowns and unplanned repairs disrupting your production schedule?

Moving from reactive maintenance to a proactive approach can significantly reduce downtime, improve reliability, and help keep operations running smoothly.

That's why we've created our free Proactive Plant Guide.

Inside, you'll discover how combining Predictive Maintenance (PdM) with Strategic Motor Repair can help you:

- Identify failures before they happen
- Improve equipment reliability and availability
- Reduce costly downtime and emergency repairs
- Build a more proactive maintenance culture
