Overhauling Servicing DC Motors

DC motors have a wide range of motor types likeBrushed DC electric motorsShunt-wound StatorCompound-wound StatorPermanent-magnet Electric Motors Split Electric motorsDouble armature electric motorsDC traction motors Common causes of DC Motor failure is due to carbon brush wear, carbon dust, commutator surface wear.DC motor maintenance program can be undertaken for smooth functioning. A preventative and corrective maintenance schedule that can cover inspections, cleaning, testing, and replacement and lubrication tasks necessary to ensure the proper operation of DC motor and related equipments is a must to maintain the quality of equipment.A maintenance program is fairly easy to develop and implement. And once these regular maintenance checks are incorporated into a work schedule of the plant, they soon become transparent and will reap cost-savings well beyond the investment in time and materials spent in maintaining them.
