Extend the life of your electric motors – 5 factors that matter
2025-07-07
What affects motor lifespan
1. Misalignment
Even slight misalignment between motor and load can lead to increased vibration, heat and premature bearing failure. Laser alignment is a simple but essential service that ensures smooth operation and reduces stress across the system.
2. Imbalance and vibrations
Unbalanced rotors, worn parts or incorrect mounting can all cause vibration issues. These not only damage the motor itself but can also affect connected components. Through regular vibration measurements and balancing, we detect problems early and fix them fast.

3. Poor lubrication
Insufficient or excessive lubrication is one of the most common reasons for motor failure. It can lead to increased friction, overheating, and premature bearing wear – often long before the issue is visible. That’s why consistent lubrication checks and correct grease application are essential for long-term motor health.
4. Overheating
Motors running above their temperature limits face shortened insulation life and increased failure risk. Overheating may result from blocked ventilation, overloading or environmental factors. Regular cleaning and system checks help prevent overheating and protect the motor’s insulation and internal components.

5. Contamination
Dust, moisture and chemical exposure can wear down components quickly – especially in tough environments. That’s why we provide custom sealing solutions, protective coatings and thorough cleaning during service.
Better maintenance means fewer breakdowns
From field diagnostics to full-scale reconditioning, we help industrial clients protect their motors – and their productivity. Our approach is proactive, precise and always aligned with your operating conditions.
