What to send us

Send a photo of the motor’s label. On Mitsubishi Electric servo motors, the model number identifies the series, capacity, encoder and options. Include the alarm number from the drive or CNC control, and how quickly you need the motor back.

Nothing gets sent out

Winding, testing, dynamic balancing and machining all happen in our own shop. We rewind with Grade H magnet wire and Elantas varnish, a step above what most shops use.

Turnaround

7–10 days, or 3–5 rush

Time-critical jobs are worked through nights and weekends when a line is down.

24 hours

03 / How it works

Our Mitsubishi Electric repair process

Step 01

Incoming inspection

We record the model and serial number, feedback type and the reported fault.

Step 02

Electrical testing

Winding resistance, insulation and surge testing, plus checks of the encoder or resolver and the holding brake.

Step 03

Teardown and failure analysis

We inspect bearings, seals, shaft, magnets and connectors for contamination and wear.

Step 04

Written quote

You receive a repair quote, and a replacement option when one is faster or more economical.

Step 05

Repair

Bearings, seals, brake, connectors and windings as required, with the feedback device realigned to the motor.

Step 06

Final testing

before the motor is returned.

06 / FAQ

Straight answers on Mitsubishi Electric

Q1Our drive shows an encoder alarm. Is it the motor?

It could be the encoder, the cable or the drive. Send the motor and the alarm number and we will test it. If the motor checks out, that tells you where to look next.

Q2Is there anything to do after an absolute-encoder motor is repaired?

If the encoder was replaced or reset, plan on re-establishing the machine’s home or origin position when it goes back in.

Q3How do we stop coolant from killing our servo and spindle motors?

Most coolant failures come in through worn shaft seals and connectors. Keep connectors pointed down with drip loops on cables, replace seals before they leak, and guard motors from direct spray.

Q4Our motors keep failing. Can you tell us why?

Usually the motor is pointing at something upstream. The most common culprits are incoming power problems, like voltage imbalance, spikes and drive-related shaft currents, and a harsh environment: heat, moisture, dust and washdown chemicals. Misalignment and bearing trouble round out the list. We tear every motor down, find what actually took it out, and tell you, so the replacement does not go the same way.
