"With Speed, Specials, and Service, a broken electric motor comes out and a client-specific electric motor goes in." That's how my colleague Christiaan proudly started his tale.
Here’s what happened: the electric motor of a carnival ride had burnt out over the weekend. The owner wanted a new custom-made electric motor installed as quickly as possible. Understandably, since a day of downtime is a day without income.
So after a phone call, he had the whole rig parked on our doorstep, requesting the motor be replaced as quickly as possible.
Fortunately, we have a large inventory of 20,000 electric motors. The needed electric motor was quickly taken off the shelf. Technical specialist Christiaan converted the motor into a brake motor, adjusted the cable glands, and added extra features to ensure safety and reliability. It was quite the task.
Of course, you need the right brake, but in this case, about 8 extra components were also needed to ensure the motor met the specific requirements for this application.
Considerations like fixation on the drive side, which makes the motor more stable, quieter, and safer. Additional blades for the fan, a fan cover, and extra sealing against dust. After all, safety and reliability are crucial for a carnival ride where people are involved.
Finally, an external mechanic installed everything in place and connected the electric motor. Thus, this custom electric motor was fixed in a single day. It’s great that this is possible.
