The cost of buying new electric motors for your industrial operation can often be too high, but the good news is that, when working with the right firm, you can purchase reconditioned electric motors that will get the job done. Furthermore, if you want to make your existing electric motors more efficient and effective, you can have them reconditioned whether you are working with a Reliance electric DC motor or even an AC motor.
The reconditioning process
There’s more to reconditioning a Reliance electric DC Motor or some other type of motor than throwing on a new coat of paint; it’s a painstaking and thorough process. First comes disassembly, and then the mechanic moves on to degreasing, deburring, cleaning and plating. Next, it’s time to lubricate and adjust for alignment issues, and, finally, the mechanic reassembles the motor.
In a properly performed reconditioning, the mechanic will find problems such as cracks and dents that could cause problems down the line and fix them. Furthermore, all of the factory information about the motor will be recorded so that there is a database to consult in the future. Additionally, all the mechanical fits in the motor will be tested and adjusted accordingly.
A reconditioned electric motor is generally much cheaper than a new one, and the reconditioning process can add years to the lives of electric motors currently in use. In short, whether you are buying or upgrading, reconditioning is an excellent investment in the machinery that keeps your industrial operation running.
