Make Everything Effective With Surplus
Motors
There are times when purchasing a new motor isn’t the best option. You may be looking to
replace an older model that can’t be repaired or want an inexpensive replacement to minimize
downtime.In these cases, a surplus industrial electric motor may be the answer.
Motor reliability depends heavily on who repairs the motor and how that work is done.
Perform periodic maintenance to keep the motor running at peak efficiency. In addition,
address power quality issues to help prevent harmonics and other problems that can
negatively impact motor performance and lead to nuisance starting trips.Consider
implementing a motor energy management program at your plant. Measure the load and
efficiency of each working motor and replace moderately oversized and buy electric motors
with more efficient models when they fail. For the most reliable and affordable surplus

Having spare electric motors in storage means that productivity and efficiency remain
consistent, even if one is pulled for repairs. This is especially important for larger electric
motors for sale that represent a significant capital investment and have lengthy lead times for
new replacements.The reliability of repaired used electric motors depends on who does the
repair, and whether or not best practices are followed. A quality repair vendor can restore a
repaired motor to a level of reliability that rivals (or exceeds) that of a brand-new
one.Keeping accurate records about when and how a motor is repaired can also help you
figure out the most common problems. This will allow you to address them more quickly and
preemptively.
Purchasing an off-the-shelf motor that may be cheaper but doesn’t meet one or more of your
project’s specifications can be a waste of money. When you buy a customized surplus motor,
it will not only save your budget, but ensure that all of your specifications are met and
exceeded.Lowering vehicles improves performance by lowering the center of gravity and
improving stability and reducing body roll during cornering. However, it is important to
strike a balance between aesthetics and functionality. Shock Surplus has developed solutions
that optimize the driving experience by balancing style and function seamlessly.
From the tiny motor in your quartz watch to the million-plus horsepower motor powering a
ship, surplus motors are everywhere. The operation of these motors consumes a significant
percentage of many operations’ monthly electricity bills. If these motors are oversized for
their load or have been re-wound multiple times they are less efficient than they could be. At
0 RPM, motors have zero mechanical power and have electrical loss proportional to current.
As the motor accelerates, power increases and losses decrease, resulting in a growing margin
of efficiency. The extra cost of an energy-efficient motor can be quickly repaid by annual
energy savings, meeting the 2-year simple payback criterion and possibly leveraging utility
rebate programs.In many cases, using a surplus industrial electric motor is more economical
than buying a new one. Especially when it comes to energy-efficient motors, where the extra
cost is often quickly repaid in energy savings.For example, at current energy costs and
efficiency ratings, each point of improved motor efficiency saves about 4079 kWh per year in
typical industrial applications. In addition, if utility rebate values are factored in, payback and
life-cycle costs can be reduced further.
