Documenting Motor Upcycling: A Value Proposition for Sustainability-Conscious Customers

  • June 2025
  • Number of views: 27
  • Article rating: No rating
Article

This article highlights how motor repair service centers can support sustainability goals by documenting carbon offsets from motor upcycling. Rewinding motors typically reuses or recycles over 90% of materials, significantly reducing Scope 3 emissions. By leveraging EPA and transportation emission data, centers can provide science-based reports to clients aiming to meet environmental targets. This approach positions service centers as valuable partners in the circular economy and appeals to sustainability-conscious customers.

Article

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.
