Professional Shaft Rebuilding and Remanufacturing
All hardworking motors and generators rely on the integrity of the rotating components in the assembly, as well as the precise alignment of the components to ensure smooth performance and optimized power. When either of these aspects of the motor or generator is compromised, vibration increases, overheating and motor stress starts to occur and gradually, problems set in. Typically this process occurs over extended use and normal wear and tear, but emergency breakdowns can often occur. Fortunately, a premier motor and generator services company offers advanced detection tools to prevent such breakdowns, and, in addition to shaft rebuilding and remanufacturing and commutator repairs, dynamic balancing after reinstallation ensure precise alignment and trouble free operations for the future.
A professional motor and generator services company is prepared to handle nearly any sized power shaft, with an ability to rebuild a shaft from a casting up to eighteen feet in length. A power shaft must rely on strength and the quality of the casting process, as well the precise realignment in the engine block. Dynamic balancing can handle rotating components up to a 12 thousand pound capacity, and the computerized process ensures the highest tolerances for axial alignment.
Commutator repairs for DC power systems can vary depending on their size and construction. Typically they are multi-layered sleeves using copper and an inner insulator. Commutators are subject to wear through ongoing contact with electrical brushes, or, in brushless systems, a breakdown in the integrity of the inner layer, often composed of mica in larger units. Experienced motor and generator services companies are prepared to handle nearly any sized commutator. They can replace the cracked or worn layers in the existing commutator, replace the entire commutator in kind with a standard component, or in some cases, refabricate a custom unit with new and upgraded materials.
Look to experts in shaft rebuilding and remanufacturing, as well as the dynamic balancing required to reinstall it. A leading motor and generator services company offers many other valuable repair services including reliable commutator repairs and predictive maintenance tools to head problems off before they occur again.
