Type specific explanation
DC electric motor overhaul
A DC motor transfers electricity with carbon brushes and a collector from the rotor to the exterior. The use of these parts has several consequences.
The carbon brushes and collector are subject to wear. The wearing of the carbon brushes produces particulate matter, which pollutes the inside of the motor. Removing this carbon dust requires extensive cleaning. Furthermore, the carbon brush brackets have to be checked and if needed aligned or replaced.
The friction induced by the carbon brushes on the collector and the heat generated during use can damage the collector. During a DC motor overhaul, the collector is measured to ensure it is within factory specifications. If it does not meet the specification, the collector is machined down. After machining, the grooves between individual lamellae of the collector are milled down.
Type specific explanation
AC motor overhaul with slip rings
The parts that need extra work on a slip ring motor are the slip rings themselves, the carbon brushes, the carbon brush bracket and the rotor windings. Because of the mechanical properties of a slip ring motor, the particulate matter is less severe than on a DC motor, but pollution is still clearly visible.
Every overhaul is closed off by an extensive test at our test field.
We can assure you that your machine is fully operational and ready for service.
