Bearing Modifications
Bearings are vital to motor reliability. We offer tailored modifications to improve durability and meet specific performance needs.
- Insulated Bearings: Protect against bearing currents and fluting in VFD applications. Insulated bearings extend life and prevent premature failure.
- Ball-to-Roller Bearing Conversion: Upgrade to roller bearings for better load handling in heavy-duty or high-radial-load applications.
- Roller-to-Ball Bearing Conversion: Switch to ball bearings for quieter, more efficient operation in moderate-load, high-speed systems.
Motor RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors)
RTDs allow accurate temperature monitoring for predictive maintenance and motor protection.
- Winding RTDs: Installed in windings to detect overheating and safeguard insulation.
- Bearing RTDs: Monitor bearing temperatures to catch issues like lubrication failure or misalignment early.
Motor Shaft Customizations
We modify motor shafts to match your exact application.
- Shaft Replacements & Upgrades: Use tougher materials, replace damaged shafts, or extend shaft length for custom fits.
- Encoder & Stub Shaft Options: Add encoders or stub shafts for closed-loop control and feedback systems.
- Shaft Modifications: Shorten or machine shafts for space constraints or coupling changes.
