Armature Repair: Enhancing Electric Motor Performance

An armature is an essential element of a motor or generator. It is a spinning or solitary section that generates the power, carrying the alternating current (AC) in an electric motor. The armature contains both a commutator bar and an armature shaft. As with any other component of machinery, these and its other parts are affected by aging and ongoing usage. Electrical stresses and normal industrial wear and tear result in the degradation or impairment of the components that comprise an armature.

Electric Motor Armature Repair

If the armature of an electric motor is no longer providing optimum functioning, it is time to consider replacing or repairing it. The former route can prove to be both expensive and time-consuming. If you want to enhance electric motor performance – repair the armature.

Repairing the armature over replacing it offers you and your business the following benefits:

• Extends the lifespan of the motor.

• Decreases downtime.

• Reduces costs of purchasing new equipment.

• Improves the energy efficiency of your existing electric motor.

• Enhanced efficiency and reliability

• Environmentally conscious – Repairing does not place as heavy a toll on resources as purchasing a new armature does.

Repair the Armature

Repairing the armature can increase motor performance and efficiency. Whether through rewinding the armature or machining the shaft to ensure the right tolerance, repairs will enhance the performance of the motor. This, in turn, will help to improve productivity.
