Applications of Servo Motors in Manufacturing 

Servo motors are widely used in manufacturing, for their strong precision and accuracy. They are applied in different industries for various machining tasks, such as CNC machining, textiles and paper manufacturing.

How Do Servo Motors Work? 

Typically consisting of a DC motor, gearbox, control circuit and a feedback system, these parts work together to provide precision when machining. The DC motor provides the primary rotational force, working alongside the gearbox which reduces the speed, and increases the torque output to meet the running requirements.  

The control circuit signals determine the motors desired position, from the information that is received from the external device or controller. The feedback mechanism provides information about the motors current position. 

How Does a Servo Motor Brake Work? 

The brake within a servo consists of two parts, an electromagnet, and a brake armature. When the brake is engaged, the electromagnet generates a magnetic field that attracts, holds the armature, and stops the motor shaft from rotating. 

The brake is released when the electrical current to the electromagnet is interrupted. By stopping the current flow, the magnetic field diminishes and pushes the armature away from the electromagnet. Once the armature is pushed away, the motor shaft can rotate freely. 

How does a servo Motor know its required position? 

A servo usually has a feedback device, such as an encoder, which provides signals to correspond with the motors current position. Encoders produce precise digital signals. There are two types of encoders: 

Incremental Encoder  

This type of encoder generates pulses as the motor shaft rotates, which indicates the movement and direction of rotation within the motor. The pulses allow the control system to know the position of the motor, in relation to the starting point. 

Absolute Encoder  

An Absolute encoder has a unique digital code for every position of the motor shaft, instead of using pulses from a known starting point. This type of encoder provides precise and immediate position information, enabling accurate control and feedback. 

Servo Motors Holding the Required Position 

Servo motors rely on a feedback device to provide information about the motors current position, in order to hold the required position. If the control system identifies a potential error, which is the difference between the desired and actual position, the control system will adjust the signals which are sent to the motor to meet the needed position.  

Torque is generated within the motor to counteract external forces which could cause the motor to move away from the desired position. Torque is continuously adjusted to protect the motor from moving out of position, as a result of external forces. This is important to provide accuracy and precision for the motor, whilst it is running.  

Servo Motors in Industry 

Where precision is needed in industry, servo motors are the go-to. The features make them highly used across a number of industries, common application examples are: 

Robotics – As controlled movements are required by robots, servos power the limbs and joints of the robot. The different types of robots such as, cobots and humanoid robots, will all use servos for movement power. 

Industrial Automation – For production lines such as textile machinery, printing and conveyors where high speed is required, servos are the chosen motor type to provide the speed control capability. 

HVAC Systems – Servo motors regulate airflows, temperature and pressure control within the HVAC systems. 

The Future of Servo Motors  

Servo motors are highly used within industrial automation, a market which is expected to double in size by 2028. This presents a positive future for servo motors, being a motor which will be in high demand as a result of the use of robots and automation within the industry. Neutronic is excited to support the manufacturing industry with servo repairs.  

Neutronic is proud to support customers with Servo Motor repairs, we have invested in the latest technology and diagnostics systems to test and align feedback devices to OEM specifications. We understand as the use of servos in the industry grows, it is important to continually invest in the department to meet the demand.

Choosing Your Electric Motor Repair Partner

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

Table of contents

Not all motor repair facilities are equal, in fact the difference between a motor repair company and a quality motor repair provider could mean a huge difference for the longevity and efficiency of your repaired motor.

Unfortunately, the industry has no legislation to enforce the quality of the repairs that are carried out, so it falls to the person in need of the repair to do their due diligence, and ensure that they are procuring a high level of quality when choosing a repairer.

Repairers vary from independent 1 man operations working from tiny premises, to multinational businesses operating in various places around the globe. So when choosing your repairer, does big mean better? And does being affiliated with a trade body such as the AEMT guarantee a high standard of repair? The answer is no to both of those questions.

Motor being repaired in the Neutronic Technologies Workshop

When choosing your repairer, you need to ensure they have the appropriate equipment to carry out the repair properly and if the repairer has multiple sites. Make sure they have the equipment needed at the branch you are using. You would be amazed at how many companies I have come across over the years who are poorly equipped or even lack basic essential repair equipment.

What to ask your Electric Motor repairer to demonstrate?

Surge Tester:- Without a surge tester the repairer has no real way of performing electrical tests on the stator. A multi-meter and megger test is simply not capable of testing electric motors sufficiently. In our repair shop we use the Electrom Instruments iTIG III Winding analyser.

Pyrolysis Oven:- One of the major processes of rewinding a motor is to remove the old windings, varnish and insulation. It’s not an easy process unless you have one of these Ovens which you must not mistake for a curing oven, they are very different. It’s surprising how many rewind shops don’t have this equipment but without it you cannot guarantee the ongoing efficiency of the motor after the repair.

Dynamic Balancing:- Another large and expensive piece of repair equipment that is essential to a high quality repair. The balancing machine ensures the rotor assembly is finely tuned and balanced for all speeds of rotation. Remember a slight imbalance on a rotor can quickly degrade bearing life and cause damage to other areas of the machine the motor is connected to.

There are lots of other pieces of equipment that we use in the repair process such as sand blasters, wash tanks, curing ovens, rotor removal equipment, bearing heaters, cranes, mechanical measurement devices and countless other tools, but in my opinion the 3 listed above are by far the most important for any rewind shop to effect a quality and reliable repair.

    Repair It, Rather Than Replace It…

    Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

    Table of content

    In the event of a breakdown, your first thought may be to replace the HMI, Power supply or machinery asset. This could be due to production pressures or an obsolete part. However, it may be more expensive to replace the existing one, than to repair it!

    Motor Gearbox Repair

    In most scenarios, repairing faulty parts is most likely the best financial option, until the cost exceeds the economic repair costs. Another benefit for companies is the repaired part can be easily reinstalled into situ, rather than installing a new part. Research conducted by the AEMT and EASA associations reveals that electric motors can be rewound multiple times. This process can maintain, or even improve, the motor’s electrical efficiency without needing to be replaced.

    Repairing Obsolete Parts

    As technology advances, there will be an increase in obsolete repairs due to capabilities and automation developments. A part becomes obsolete because it is no longer produced by manufacturers or has been discontinued.

    At Neutronic, we understand the need to continue using obsolete parts. We support our customers with our in-house equipment and skills to complete obsolete repairs. Our testing facilities can run test obsolete parts to ensure they are operating at peak efficiency.

    An obsolete part we regularly have sent to Neutronic is a Mitsubishi E1012 HMI, commonly used by Food and Beverage manufacturers. These are widely used in the industry, however, are no longer manufactured by Mitsubishi. Our engineers can repair and run test the obsolete E1012 HMI back to working order with our in-house facilities.

    How can I reduce breakdowns?

    Regular asset maintenance will help reduce unexpected breakdowns, ensuring the machinery meets OEM specifications to keep running at peak efficiency.

    Implementing a Condition Monitoring system into your workshop will help you to monitor the equipment’s efficiency. Indications of concerning changes that could lead to breakdowns in the future will be outlined. Preventative maintenance allows you to schedule the repair, suiting your production schedule, minimising unexpected downtime.

    Asset management helps to monitor the operation of your parts. Research recommends that Motors should be serviced every 6 months. Performing routine preventative and predictive tasks can extend a motor’s life and improve its efficiency.

    Keeping a Spare on the shelf?

    Storing spares helps you quickly get your production lines back up and running in the event of an unexpected breakdown.

    Financial costs can be reduced by storing replacement equipment onsite. This will help reduce downtime. Exchange the faulty part for a working part to start production again. The failed part will then be sent in for repair.

    Neutronic supplies major manufacturing brands such as WEG, SEW-Eurodrive and Control Techniques. We are an official distributor of WEG products, providing high-quality products to our customer base. Contact our team for advice on which product will best fit your machining needs.

    Neutronic has the expertise to repair most obsolete repairs. If you have an obsolete part which you are looking to get repaired, contact us on 0845 180 0483.

    Common Faults in a Motor Gearbox

    Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

    Motor gearboxes are used in a variety of applications. Used to transmit mechanical power from an electric motor to a driven component or load. A gearbox is implemented in the motor to determine the required output speed and torque needed for the specific application.

    Gearboxes are often a critical part of machinery in the production line, that keep the line moving. Breakdowns of the gearbox can cause catastrophic failures, stopping production and financially impacting businesses. It is important to prevent unexpected failures, a solution is a preventative maintenance system to regularly monitor your asset efficiency.

    5 Common Faults in a Motor Gearbox:

    A piece of equipment used heavily in manufacturing, motor gearbox failures are common, some failures more common than others:

    1.      Overheating Motor. Excessive heat within the gearbox can further damage internal components such as bearings and gears. Gearboxes can overheat due to misalignment, operating at too high a speed or insufficient lubrication.

    2.      Vibration. An imbalance of the gearbox can cause excessive vibration and damage to internal components such as bearings or gears. Noise from the gearbox can be a sign of misalignment, in such case the gearbox should be booked in for repair.

    3.      Gear Damage. Damage within the gearbox can be caused by overloading, misalignment, or insufficient lubrication. This fault can lead to noise coming from the gearbox or even a breakdown of the machinery.

    4.      Lubrication Problems. It is important to monitor the lubricant level. If lubricant levels are too low, it can cause overheating and damage to the gearbox.

    5.      Electrical Failure. Causing damage to the motor gearbox, electrical faults can be caused by a variety of factors such as overloading.

    How can I Minimise Faults Occurring?

    Regular overhauls and maintenance can minimise the risk of unexpected faults. Necessary checks to the machine’s running efficiency helps to prevent damage to internal components.

    Lubrication is critical in the operation of a motor gearbox. For the motor gearbox to operate at maximum efficiency, the value should be kept at a suitable level. A sufficient lubricant level prevents gear and bearing failures.

    What are 3 indications that my Motor Gearbox is failing?

    There are many indications which can present failures occurring within the motor. It is important to manage your assets and when issues are noticed, are investigated for safety reasons. 3 indications of a failing motor Gearbox are:

    1. Excessive vibration within the motor is often a sign of misalignment or worn-out bearings. Neutronic have an in-house CEMB ZB2000 balancing machine, to rebalance rotors, pumps, fans, and impellors, this reduces repair turnaround time.
    2. Oil Leaks can indicate a potential seal failure, which can lead to a reduction in lubrication and damage to internal components.
    3. Reduction in power output can impact the overall performance of the motor including reduction in torque, power output, or speed.

    These 3 indications are just some which should be monitored. If any of these are identified, they should be looked at by a professional engineer.

    How can Preventative Maintenance Reduce Breakdowns?

    The main goal is to minimise unplanned downtime when running machinery. Efficient ways to reduce unplanned downtime is by implementing a Condition Monitoring system.

    Preventative maintenance and scheduled repairs can reduce unplanned downtime costs. This can be done by identifying faults and acting quickly. Monitoring your assets is crucial to reduce unexpected downtime.

    Vibration analysis, Thermal imaging and Laser Shaft Alignment are all ways to gather data on how efficiently your assets are running. Anomalies in the data may point to a potential fault, identifying these faults quickly can help you plan repairs during scheduled downtime.

    Establishing a Motor Gearbox Repair Partner?

    Neutronic engineers are exceptional at repairing motor gearboxes, SEW-Eurodrive is a popular manufacturing brand which we repair. We have an in-house test rig at our Warrington workshop. This rig is purpose-built to test run all SEW Eurodrive Movimot Inverters after they have been repaired. This provides our customers with a quick repair turnaround.

    How a Motor Rewind Can Reduce Downtime?

    Table of contents

    The frequency of how often a motor requires a rewind can vary. It depends on the motor quality, operating conditions, and maintenance practices. If your motor windings are starting to fail, the motor may not be running at maximum efficiency and could be increasing your running costs.

    There are common signs which indicate when a motor requires a rewind. Firstly, overheating of the motor can be an indicator that the insulation on the windings is damaged. If you witness your motor overheating, this can be dangerous and should be inspected as soon as possible. Noise or vibration from your motor is a sign the windings are possibly damaged, when this occurs, a rewind is necessary.

    Inspecting your windings can sometimes indicate an issue, any frayed wires, burned insulation or colour deficiencies can show potential issues. Damage to your motor will increase the running costs and could lead to a catastrophic breakdown if not seen to.

    Repairing rather than replacing.

    Saving you money with an Electric Motor Rewind

    Often an Electric motor rewind can be less expensive than purchasing a replacement motor, reducing financial costs for businesses. It is important to consider the cost difference in repairing a part, rather than replacing it. Repairs are convenient for businesses; they enable you to put the repaired motor back into your production line with confidence. This is often preferable to ma replacement for all sorts of reasons but sustainability is a major factor in repairing rather than replacing.

    A motor has a limited lifespan. However, a motor rewind can help to extend its lifespan. This allows you to use your equipment for longer before needing to replace it. This can help you save money in the long run by delaying the need for expensive replacements.

    What conditions can lead to a motor needing multiple rewinds?

    Certain conditions can influence the need of an Electric motor rewind, such as:

    • High operating temperatures: high temperatures can lead to insulation breakdown and other damage that may require rewinding more frequently.
    • Moisture in the environment: Motors that operate in wet or humid environments can experience corrosion and other types of damage.
    • Overloading or underloading: Motors that are consistently overloaded or underloaded may experience damage to their windings.
    • Regular maintenance is essential for motors: This includes cleaning and lubrication. Without this maintenance, frequent breakdowns may occur, potentially requiring a rewind.
    • Age: As a motor ages, the insulation on the windings can break down, leading to more frequent failures.

    The operating environment can impact a motors durability, regular maintenance is crucial to minimise unexpected faults occurring. Electric Motor Repairs are carried out in our Electro-mechanical workshop, with extensive equipment to speed up the repair process.

    Reducing Downtime with a Motor Rewind

    Downtime is costly, it is also a critical time for businesses. Businesses need to fix faults quickly to get production back up and running again. At Neutronic we understand this urgency and work with our customers to minimise unexpected downtime. Our emergency repair services run 24/7, supporting our customers whenever needed.

    Condition Monitoring is a great way to ensure you know the current condition of your assets. Data readings show anomalies, which can indicate a potential problem. Through vibration analysis and thermal imaging, the first signs of a potential fault are identified. Identifying the fault early on, allows the repair to be scheduled in, suiting your production schedule.

    What motor is best for my environment?

    As previously discussed, conditions can impact the longevity of the motor. Depending on the motor’s working environment will depend on the type of motor being used. Consideration and research should be taken out before purchasing a motor. For example, a WEG wash motor is suitable for the Food and Beverage industry due to it being waterproof. WEG’s antimicrobial coating reduces the proliferation of bacteria by 99.9%, ensuring the required hygiene in food and pharmaceutical applications.
