Just as advances in medicine have more than doubled human life expectancy, the application of reliability technology to maintenance has brought similar results to industry. The similarities are remarkable. For example, think of blood testing and oil analysis, or ultrasonic testing for heart valve leakage and ultrasonic surveys for steam/air leaks. […]
When a Siemens asynchronous motor for a large scale chemical plant in the Netherlands failed during operation, SPIT was asked to a fast-track repair on a Siemens 2-pole asynchronous machine. […]
Richard Veldhuis, Sales Manager for SPIT electrical mechanics, writes about the total cost of ownership and the big role the cost not running – the direct cost of lost production due to a motor failure – plays during the total lifetime of a motor. […]
SPIT electrical mechanics delivered a drive system for an hydraulic test bench for a Japanese Manufacturer of hydraulic motors. The system was engineered to deliver maximum power and availability at the lowest operating costs. The system consist of two asynchronous ABB high efficiency motors; one of 400 kW @ 1000 rpm used as a brake generator [...]
