This video shows the proper way to lubricate the deep-groove, open ball bearing before assembling a horizontal induction motor.

This video shows the proper procedure for seating carbon brushes in a DC machine.

This video will walk you through how to check the relative polarity of DC machine interpoles and the armature and correct it if necessary using a simple interpole polarity test.

This video demonstrates the correct way to use an induction bearing heater to install an interference fit ball bearing on a machine shaft.

When working with DC machines, it’s not uncommon to find a customer who runs different products requiring a range of armature current. Unlike other conductors, where lower current is a good thing, carbon brushes are designed for a narrow range of current density. A unique aspect of carbon brush life is that brushes operating at a much lower current density than they are designed for do not last nearly as long as expected.

Being proactive on behalf of the repair industry, EASA created the best practice repair standard for the industry. This article looks back on this history of this important document.

Al trabajar con máquinas de CC, no es raro encontrar un cliente que fabrica diferentes productos que requieren un rango de corriente de armadura. A diferencia de otros conductores, donde una corriente más baja es algo bueno, las escobillas de carbón están diseñadas con poco margen de densidad de corriente.

The phase balance test is a simple yet effective method for diagnosing some problems with existing windings and for inspecting new windings before resin treatment. Including thermography enhances diagnostic capabilities, making it a valuable addition to the testing process.

La prueba de equilibrio de fases es un método simple y efectivo para diagnosticar algunos problemas en los devanados existentes y para inspeccionar devanados nuevos antes del tratamiento final. Incluir termografía mejora el diagnóstico, lo que es una adición valiosa para el proceso de prueba.
