Cultivating a strong partnership with servo motor manufacturers is essential for providing top-notch repair services. With access to Baldor’s comprehensive technical documentation, we possess the expertise to diagnose and rectify a wide range of issues. Moreover, our direct connection to Baldor’s inventory allows us to quickly procure replacement motors or parts, minimizing downtime for our customers. This streamlined process enables us to deliver timely and cost-effective repairs, consistently exceeding expectations.

Nonetheless, our access to parts and information does not make our evaluation or repair process any less stringent or detail-oriented. Baldor servo motor repair demands a good mechanical understanding of how servo motors work, as well as a strong background in electrical concepts. For example, Baldor servo motors used in robotics can sometimes have resolvers with three different resolutions (not to be confused with speeds) and run at 6000 RPM.

Years of experience and a commitment to excellence make Servotech a leading choice for Baldor servo motor repairs. Each motor that enters the shop is evaluated and tested against factory specifications and will not receive our certificate of refurbishment unless it meets or surpasses those specifications.

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 Baldor 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 Baldor 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.

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

6. Painting & Re-Labeling

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