Electric motors are the backbone of industrial operations, powering machinery essential for manufacturing, processing, and logistics. Large electric motors, with their higher horsepower and robust design, play a critical role in demanding applications like overhead cranes, conveyor systems, and heavy-duty compressors. When these motors fail or underperform, businesses face costly downtime and potential operational losses. This is why expert large electric motor repair services are crucial to restoring performance quickly and efficiently.

From diagnostics to repair and maintenance, our team of specialists is equipped to handle motors up to 2000 horsepower, offering reliable solutions tailored to your needs.
Common Issues Requiring Large Electric Motor Repair
Large electric motors are built for durability but are not immune to wear and tear. Some common issues we address include:
1. Winding Failures
Electrical windings are the heart of the motor, but excessive heat, vibration, or electrical surges can cause insulation breakdown, leading to short circuits. Our custom winding services use high-quality materials to extend the lifespan of your motor and improve efficiency.
2. Bearing Damage
Faulty or worn bearings often result in increased noise, vibration, and heat. Left unchecked, they can cause catastrophic damage to the rotor and stator. At AEM, we use precision tools to replace or repair bearings, ensuring smooth and reliable motor operation.
3. Rotor and Stator Issues
Mechanical failures in the rotor or stator can significantly impact motor performance. Our technicians are equipped to repair or replace these components, restoring the motor’s functionality to OEM standards.
4. Overheating
Blocked ventilation, poor maintenance, or overloading can cause motors to overheat, reducing efficiency and lifespan. Our team performs thorough diagnostics to identify and correct overheating issues.
