Chemical processing case study: Reducing downtime after severe motor failure
When a customer serving chemical processing operations experienced a locked-up industrial motor, EMC’s inspection found signs of severe bearing damage, overheating, a missing cooling fan, and possible internal electrical damage. EMC recommended a full motor replacement to reduce downtime, avoid unreliable repair costs, and help prevent future motor failure through proper bearing lubrication training and stocked replacement fans.

The Benefits of Anti-Corrosion Coatings
Anti-corrosion coatings are nothing more than protective finishes which ensure that they are protected against corrosion from the caustic or otherwise corrosive materials which pass through them. As simple in design as they are, though, they can be in many cases a pillar of a piece of rotating equipment’s integrity and durability over time. Anti-corrosion coatings are typically of a polymer construction, known sometimes as an epoxy. An epoxy is “a polymeric material used in a

Laser vs Dial indicators: A guide to which one is better
A good example of why you need aligned parts Alignment is a critical step of building and repairing rotating equipment, such as motors and pumps. A badly aligned pump will leak , vibrate , and destroy itself quickly. Overlooking alignment will end up costing you money in the future in the form of destroyed and damaged equipment. It’s very important to consider the method of alignment, as laser vs dial indicators have different advantages and disadvantages. Laser Indicators
