When preparing to rewind random or form-wound status, sometimes there just doesn’t seem to be enough room in the stator slot for the desired conductor area and insulation quantities. This presentation looks at balancing stator copper losses against insulation reliability.

As we communicate internationally, language barriers persist. In the technical fields, the metric-imperial units clash is slowly diminishing. M任何 vibration analysts are “bilingual” in that respect and are comfortable using either system. But for more casual users who may only encounter vibration data in regard to meeting specs, unfamiliar vibration amplitude units can be a challenge.

作为欧洲航空安全局成员的一个好处, we get (literally) an army of people every day to represent our interests in industry and government regulations. And they often provide us with valuable insight and positive change to “the way we’ve always done it.”

When repairing centrifugal and axial flow pumps, axial thrust is a concern. An understanding of the causes and the mitigating provisions of various pump designs will help repair technicians to ensure those provisions work properly.

Three of the most common three-phase motor problems we receive inquiries about are:

1. “The motor is drawing high no-load current.”
2. “The current of the three line leads is not balanced.”
3. “马达发热了.”

Even if you have never faced one of these issues, read on because it is almost inevitable that you will, and you will want to know what to do about it.

PCBs have been identified as a likely carcinogen for humans. If your service center is asked to pick up equipment that you suspect MAY contain PCBs, have it field 测试ed BEFORE picking it up. Once you pick up a device that contains PCBs, the responsibility is yours.

This presentation addresses m任何 of the most common safety hazards and situations that face service centers.

This video walks through the steps to adjust and set end play on a typical vertical hollow shaft pump motor.

One aspect of our repair industry that seems to cause a lot of confusion is the bearing arrangements of vertical motors. There is quite an assortment of thrust bearing arrangements, and we tend to try to apply the same method for adjusting end play to all of them. 这通常是个坏主意, so this article will take a closer look specifically at those fitted with a spherical roller thrust bearing and repair 提示 unique to these designs.
