Learn to keep your application running reliably

When industrial motors and generators fail, mass-produced stock rotor and stator components are often the cause. Stock insulation and machine winding, as well as parts optimized to reduce costs, can yield major inefficiencies — typically with higher stator conductive losses — eventually leading to overheating, damage, and failure.

The goal of this paper is to raise awareness about some of the key factors that can influence the health of an industrial drivetrain, and to make clear that, in many cases, the affected component may merely be symptomatic of an underlying cause of substandard performance, or even catastrophic failure. Taking a broader, more holistic approach in considering influences on the entire drivetrain may result in optimal equipment performance and less downtime. Download to learn more.

Even with the most well-designed motor or generator, equipment operators would be hard-pressed to keep their equipment running while it's covered in a foot af snow or surrounded by a layer of ice. Extreme weather can take a toll on your rotating equipment. This paper will outline some quick tips that can help you when severe weather hits and may make the difference between a total shutdown or safely riding it out through the storm.

Smith Services^® and Philadelphia Gear^® are known for building rugged designs to withstand extreme applications. When there's zero room for failure, customers turn to us for reliable solutions. But occasionally, freezing temperatures can impact a region unexpectedly, and essential facilities that have little room for downtime can quickly find themselves pushing the operating limits of gear drives whose design is unintended to be exposed to extreme weather. If you find yourself in this situation, this paper will outline some quick tips to help you safely operate or bring your gear drive back online during extreme weather.

Wet or flooded equipment puts your operations at risk for major delays - or even critical failure. Follow the operational and maintenance procedures in this two-part guide to reduce damage and maximize uptime.
