No matter where electric motor vibrations happen within an electric motor system, they can cause problems. Electric motors operate under a variety of conditions that often require them to operate long-term. Vibration, no matter how small, typically results in future problems when not addressed. And, over time, it may even develop into a worse vibration…
Electrical problems can come in many forms. What seems like an issue with a motor may actually be an issue with the motor control center, or the wiring connecting the motor. Often, isolating these problems can be difficult. Thermal imaging helps discover problems fast. Operating a thermal imaging system while your electric motor runs highlights…
Through electric motor lubrication, bearings maintain a longer lifespan. This knowledge is generally well known. However, without a proper maintenance plan in place, operations may not know how often it becomes necessary. Improper lubrication of parts puts any component part on the fast track toward failure. So, those operating electric motors need to ensure they…

Operations often talk about laser alignment for electric motors and how essential it is. Alignment seems like a straightforward concept, but it often requires very precise measurements. And, these measurements often can only be achieved through specialized measuring tools. When dealing with component parts that constantly move, they need to stay aligned to avoid a…
When motors run consistently for long periods of time, electric motor vibration analysis becomes key to maintaining their health. Often operating parts at impressive speeds, motors move too quickly for us to notice where problems lie. By the time you hear or see an issue that has occurred, the discovery comes much too late before…
With the idea of predictive maintenance services still newer to some businesses, it is important to help those businesses understand what it is and the benefits that it offers. Most electric motor operations likely find the idea of preventative maintenance common knowledge. However, as technology for industrial equipment advances, so do the techniques involved in…
