MCI received a heavy duty DC motor from a client which was badly damaged, as you can see from our photos.
The armature had a large number of shorts due to a rub found on the commutator risers. All the commutator undercutting repairs were completed and all the shorts were cleared.
The motor was re-assembled and set up on a test run. The new brush gear was checked for being set at the correct position for making contact on the commutator. The motor had various live tests completed and these all indicated that the armature was also faulty with shorts in the windings which was then rewound.
Once the motor was fully repaired, it was returned to the customer and tested to ensure it worked properly.
If you any motor problems, give MCI a call on 01324 611371 to see how we can help you.
