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.

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.

This webinar goes through some data verification and redesign examples using the Motor Stats view within EASA’s AC Motor Verification & Redesign software to learn what it tells us and what it doesn’t tell us about our data.

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. 

What initially seemed like a supplementary resource has proven to be a game-changer for HECO's training efforts. The EASA ERT Certificate Program not only saved us considerable time and resources, but it also ensured that we could continue providing high-quality training to our apprentices

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.

This article delves into the AC motors responsible for the tilt and lift functions of the log stackers. These motors possess distinct characteristics, including a high-resistance rotor.
