Our Leeson Repair Process
- Incoming inspection. We record the nameplate data and the motor’s condition when it arrives.
- Testing. Ground testing, surge comparison and core loss testing identify winding and core problems.
- Teardown and failure analysis. We inspect bearings, shaft, rotor, stator and housings to find the cause of failure, not just the symptom.
- Written quote. You receive a repair quote, and a replacement quote when a new Leeson motor or equivalent makes more sense.
- Repair. Rewinding, bearing replacement, shaft and housing machining, and brake work as required.
- Balancing and final testing before the motor is returned.
Common Reasons Leeson Motors Come In
- Water intrusion on washdown motors
- Bearing failure from contamination or misalignment
- Brush and commutator wear on DC motors
- Winding insulation breakdown from heat, moisture or voltage spikes
- Worn gearing or seals on gearmotors
- Worn or failed brakes on brake motors
What to Send for a Quote
A photo of the nameplate speeds up quoting. On Leeson motors, the catalog number and model number identify the exact design. Include horsepower, voltage and frame if the nameplate is damaged, a short description of the failure, and how quickly you need the motor back.
