General Electric (GE) servo motors are engineered for reliability, precision, and long service life in demanding industrial environments. At Servotech, we provide thorough inspection, repair, and refurbishment services designed to restore GE servo motors to dependable, factory-level performance.
General Electric AC Servo Motor Repair
General Electric AC servo motors are commonly used in applications where consistent torque, accurate positioning, and continuous operation are essential. When a device fails, our GE servo motor repair begins with a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation to determine the exact cause of the issue, whether electrical, mechanical, or feedback-related.
During your General Electric servo repair, our technicians carefully disassemble and inspect the motor, evaluating the stator windings, insulation systems, bearings, shafts, housings, and feedback devices such as encoders or resolvers. Using detailed technical references and OEM-equivalent specifications, we ensure all repaired components meet original performance standards.
Servotech performs critical services in-house, including stator rewinding, precision machining, bearing replacement, and dynamic balancing. Our extensive parts inventory allows us to replace worn connectors, seals, and feedback components quickly, minimizing downtime. After every GE servo repair is complete, the motor undergoes thorough electrical testing, insulation verification, and operational run testing to confirm proper torque output and stable feedback signals.
General Electric DC Servo Motor Repair
Commonly found in heavy-duty industrial applications, General Electric DC servo motors require specialized expertise, particularly in armature, commutator, and field magnet restoration. Our GE servo motor repair process includes complete disassembly and inspection of the armature windings, commutator surfaces, brush assemblies, and field structures.
Then, we correct issues such as commutator wear, brush arcing, insulation breakdown, and bearing failure. If necessary, armatures can be rewound and commutators resurfaced or replaced to restore proper electrical contact and performance. Field magnets are evaluated for strength and integrity, and we address any loss of magnetism that may affect torque output. Tachometers and feedback systems are tested and calibrated to ensure accurate control once the motor is reinstalled.
Before shipment back to you, each GE DC servo motor is tested under load conditions to verify smooth commutation, proper current draw, and reliable operation, ensuring it’s ready to perform in even the most demanding environments.
Our Repair & Refurbishment Process
1. Checking In
- Motor is photographed and documented by our receiving department
- Unique job number is assigned
- Acknowledgement is sent via email
- Motor is delivered to the appropriate department to be evaluated
2. Evaluation
The evaluation of each General Electric servo motor is extremely thorough and is 100% free for all our customers. Our technicians fully inspect all mechanical and electrical parts. They also perform multiple tests to determine the cause of failure. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Bearing fits
- Housing fits
- Worn output shafts
- Corroded and/or broken flanges
- Burnt Stator Windings
- Failed Encoders
- Damaged Connectors
3. Quote
Our purchasing department then generates a firm quote, outlining the cause for failure, and listing all needed parts for repair. Our team excels in sourcing any parts that are not already stocked in our extensive inventory. We understand that getting your machine up and running is of utmost importance, and we go above and beyond to offer you the quickest delivery possible.
4. Servo Motor Repair
Once the quote is approved, orders are placed for any needed parts and our technicians proceed with repairs. Anything that requires our in-house services, such as winding or machine work, is taken to the corresponding department. When ready, the 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 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 General Electric 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 General Electric 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 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
