ABB AC Servo Motor Repair
ABB AC servo motors undergo a detailed inspection process as soon as they arrive at our facility. Our goal is to deliver a high-quality repair that restores your servo motor to peak operating condition. During the evaluation, our technicians carefully examine all mechanical and electrical components, addressing every issue to ensure the motor performs like new. Each ABB servo motor is treated as a complete system rather than simply repairing failed parts.
To provide the most reliable repair results, we maintain strong expertise in ABB feedback systems, including encoders and resolvers found across many ABB servo motor models. Servotech has full capability to program and calibrate encoders used in ABB systems. Because improperly configured encoders can prevent the motor from communicating correctly with ABB drives, we ensure each one is programmed and tested for full compatibility. After reassembly, every repaired motor is tested on factory drives to verify performance before it is returned to you.
ABB DC Servo Motor Repair
Each ABB DC servo motor that enters our shop goes through an extensive evaluation to determine the cause of failure. Our DC servo motor repair technicians know these motors inside and out and have the experience needed to properly test and repair them. Every part of the motor is carefully inspected, checking all mechanical and electrical components throughout. Our goal is to extend the life of your ABB DC servo motor and return it to you in good-as-new condition.
DC servo motors contain carbon brushes, which are necessary for operation. Over time, these brushes wear down, and with nowhere for the carbon dust to go, the motor can become contaminated. When you send your ABB motor to Servotech, you can trust that it will be thoroughly cleaned and fitted with new brushes before being reassembled and tested.
Because many ABB DC servo motors are part of older systems, parts can sometimes be difficult to source. Servotech maintains an extensive inventory of replacement components, and when parts are unavailable, we fabricate them in-house. Our machine shop and 3D printing capabilities make it possible to recreate components such as endbells, encoder covers, and connector blocks. When it comes to repairing ABB DC servo motors, Servotech has the expertise and equipment to get the job done right.
In addition to ABB servo motor repair services, Servotech refurbishes servo and spindle motors from over 100 manufacturers, click to view all brands we service.

When ready, the ABB motor is re-assembled with all new parts and hardware, bringing it to good-as-new condition.
5. Final Testing
Upon completion of repairs, the ABB servo motor heads to our quality control department for final testing. Here, we review the entire repair and run it on a factory specific drive. Using the same drive that is used in your machine ensures that your ABB servo motor will run just as it should once re-installed. We take great pride in maintaining an inventory of factory drives as it allows us to offer the most effective, reliable refurbishment possible.
6. Painting & Re-Labeling
Not only does a fresh coat of paint make your ABB servo motor look brand new, but it also provides protection from outside contaminants, extending the overall lifespan of the motor. Our painting department provides application-specific paint, such as:
- Food grade epoxy
- IP67 epoxy
- Marine epoxy
7. Return Shipping
Our shipping department takes pride in offering the highest quality care when preparing a refurbished ABB motor for its journey back to you. Protective caps are put on connectors, nameplates are applied to the motor, and documentation is reviewed to make sure any accessories, such as eye bolts or shaft keys, are returned to you. Our high-quality spray foam packaging system creates a mold around the motor to keep it safe in the box during shipping. For larger motors that require freight shipping, we build a custom crate on-site to fit each motor’s unique size and shape.
- Bearing fits
- Housing fits
- Worn output shafts
- Corroded and/or broken flanges
