Electro-Mechanical Repair Work
Quick Turnaround On Motor Repair Helps New Customer
A weekend call from a new customer provides a great example of how Bodine Electric responds to emergency electric motor repair needs.
Repairing AC Motor Covered in Corn
This 250 HP, 1,800 RPM AC electric motor failed as a result of inefficient cooling due to corn product buildup. The excessive thermal conditions resulted in insulation degradation and a grounded winding.
Failure Analysis: Motor-Pump Unit Shaft
A sanitary plant customer brought this failed motor-pump unit in for repair in 2014. Our analysis indicated that the shaft had been under a combined load condition of rotational bending and tension.
