Custom-made motor solutions
September 1st 2008

Retaining asset value of investment in existing plant and equipment is aided by WEG's custom-made electric motor replacements which can match a range of outputs, voltages and speeds as well as most motor applications.

The company's high efficiency drop-in replacement motors can be designed to replace any standard or non-standard industrial electric motor, as Russell McCabe, field sales manager at WEG Electric Motors UK, explains "This WEG flexibility allows users to replace an obsolete motor in their plants with a modern, energy efficient drop-in replacement motor.

Of course, this is more cost effective for higher value, and medium and high voltage motors.

"Designing a new motor with better electrical performance, while maintaining the same mechanical mounting dimensions, is much less expensive than trying to modify the existing motor foundation to adapt a standard motor. The higher operating efficiency of new motors brings immediate energy savings, which could pay back the investment within a very short period of time and, over the motor life, the cost is usually much less than rewinding."
