Motors & Pump Repairs in Sarasota, FL

Electric motors are important pieces of equipment for industrial processes. They turn electrical energy into mechanical energy, thus enabling crucial operations that require movement. Industrial motors operate pumps, compressors, and fan a group of machines that need major efficiency improvements. Unfortunately, the applications usually run at constant speed even when not required, thus causing energy wastage and unnecessary CO2 emissions.

A single plant trip or failure can lead to significant production losses, especially in industries operating in hazardous areas. Monitoring is essential to minimize any risk of unprecedented shutdowns, and most installations use smart wireless sensors.

However, taking such steps for motors operating in hazardous environments has been challenging due to the lack of cost-efficient and easy-to-implement solutions. These areas have flammable gases or vapor which needs special precautions to prevent explosions. Luckily, ABB has invented smart sensors that can help monitor motors in such environments.

If you live in extremely hot areas, then you know how important it is to ensure that your AC fan is up and running during those summer months. That calls for ensuring that your AC fan motor is fully functional since, without it, you have no air conditioning. 

Here, we will discuss several pro tips you can follow to ensure that your motor runs smoothly without any glitches.

The dock davits allow us to easily remove our boats and personal watercraft from water. Though these are used almost daily by boatowners, most don’t realize that choosing the right motor for your dock davit will help to unlock the best performance from it.

When it comes to preventative maintenance for your manufacturing facility, as the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure! This holds especially true for your electric motors. Anything you can do to properly diagnose and prevent a potential breakdown is an important step you need to take.

In just about any manufacturing facility, there is a lot of preventative maintenance and regular scheduled maintenance to keep things running smoothly. And that's a good thing because maintenance, particularly electric motor maintenance, is the one area that even the best maintained facility can always improve upon. Anything that can be done to prevent or cut down on the potential of an electric motor failure is always a healthy move for any organization's bottom line.

Variable frequency drives (VFDs) are one of the most efficient methods of controlling motors that are designed to operate at a single speed. Depending on the VFD and how it is installed, a VFD operates on single or 3 phase input, and the output matches the desired voltage. Because the motors are typically designed with a single operating speed, the VFD is required to alter the speed of the motor.

A properly functioning motor is essential, not just to production, but also to the safety of operatives and other staff. When motor failure is imminent, it is often preceded by high bearing temperatures. Understanding and monitoring temperature conditions not only saves time and money in the long term, but also simplifies motor repair.

The pumping industry was revolutionized with the creation of the vertical pump motor in the early 1920’s. This allowed for electric motors to be attached to the top of a pump, and the impacts were impressive. The installation process was simplified, and because it required fewer parts, was then less expensive. The efficiency of the pump motors increased by 30%, and because vertical pump motors are purpose specific, they are more durable and reliable than their horizontal counterparts. Vertical pump motors are generally classified by their shaft type, either hollow or solid.
