Glentek AC Servo Motor Repair

Glentek AC servo motors are widely used in precision motion systems, making accuracy a top priority during repair. When your motor arrives at the Servotech facility, our team will perform a thorough evaluation to find the cause of failure. Our comprehensive testing includes verifying the integrity of the feedback device as well as checking winding resistance, insulation values, and shaft alignment.

One of the challenges unique to Glentek AC motors is their tight integration with OEM-specific drive systems, requiring familiarity with custom signal protocols and parameter settings. Servotech is proud to be able to test each motor on a factory-specific drive, ensuring that it will function seamlessly when re-installed.


Glentek DC Servo Motor Repair

DC motors from Glentek are known for their rugged performance, but like any motor, they can become worn over time. During the Glentek servo motor repair process, our skilled technicians will inspect and refurbish critical components such as the commutator, brushes, and windings.

Special attention is given to brush alignment and commutator concentricity, as Glentek motors are often used in high-speed applications where small variances can lead to operational issues. With thorough testing under simulated load conditions, Servotech can confirm that our Glentek servo repair has fully restored factory-level functionality.

In addition to Glentek servo motor repair services, Servotech refurbishes servo and spindle motors from over 100 manufacturers. View all brands we service ›

We take great pride in maintaining an inventory of factory drives as it allows us to offer the most effective, reliable refurbishment possible.

Servotech uses software to reprogram new encoders that will function properly when they are run on one of our factory drives.

Not only does a fresh coat of paint make your Glentek 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..
