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.

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.

Cuando la resonancia causa una vibración excesiva, es importante identificar la frecuencia natural y la forma modal de la vibración. Una simple prueba de impacto (bump test), realizada a máquina parada, es un buen primer paso para identificar la frecuencia natural.

When resonance does cause excessive vibration, it is important to identify the natural frequency and the mode shape of the vibration. A simple bump test, conducted with the machine not running, is a good first step in identifying the natural frequency.
