When there is a need for cleaning the contact surfaces of commutators and slip rings with brushes, emery cloth with aluminum oxide is NOT recommended, as conductive abrasive particles will cause arcing and damage to the surface. Many times, stone cleaning, garnet paper and machining are not a convenient, sufficient, or cost-effective option for machines as the priority is to keep the downtime to a minimum. This is when the carbon brush can be designed to clean up the contact surface.

Large Language Models (LLMs), powered by artificial intelligence (AI), can process and generate human-like text, making them invaluable for a variety of applications, including technical support, documentation, and troubleshooting. Just remember, these tools can be prone to error and when unrealistic or poor prompts are used.

Cuando sea necesario limpiar las superficies de contacto de los colectores y anillos rozantes, NO se recomienda usar tela de esmeril con óxido de aluminio, ya que las partículas abrasivas conductoras pueden causar arcos eléctricos y dañar la superficie. Muchas veces, la limpieza con piedra, el papel granate (Garnett) y el mecanizado no son una opción conveniente, suficiente ni rentable para las máquinas, ya que la prioridad es minimizar el tiempo de parada. En este caso, la escobilla de carbón se puede diseñar para limpiar la superficie de contacto.

Employee recruitment, retention and succession are all areas that are challenging and infinitely important to business and personal success. Increased employee engagement translates into enhanced quality outcomes and generally positive working conditions. So, how do we get there?

Revamping your employee reward system to shift away from a standardized approach to a more personalized model that offers a variety of options can make a big difference in engagement.

Sewage and wastewater treatment pumps are common machines repaired in EASA service centers. While both odor and biohazard are real problems, there are ways to deal with each, and service centers looking to broaden their repair market should not shy away from a profitable market because of the odor and biohazard. 

Las bombas de tratamiento de aguas residuales y residuales son máquinas habituales que se reparan en los centros de servicio de EASA. Si bien tanto el olor como el riesgo biológico son problemas reales, hay maneras de abordar cada uno de ellos, y los centros de servicio que buscan ampliar su mercado de reparación no deberían rehuir un mercado rentable debido al olor y el riesgo biológico.

Horizontal and vertical motors have uniquely different requirements for endplay, while sleeve bearing machines bring their own challenges. This presentation examines those differences.

The information in this article provides comparisons of key characteristics of IEC and NEMA motors to aid in evaluating the potential simplicity or complexity of the IEC to NEMA design conversion.
