Servo Motors - Repair or Replace
Should You Repair a Failed Servo or Buy a New One?
A failed servo motor is never a good thing. Aside from the expenses of halting production and the costly downtime of finding the right solution, there's another important question to ask: Should I repair a failed servo or simply buy another motor? The correct answer to this question can mean the difference between a lengthy and expensive situation and a prompt return to production.
When deciding between repairing or replacing a servo motor, consider these factors:
Why did the motor fail? What were the symptoms?
Is there a spare unit on hand that can be put into service?
Is the machine down? What is the cost of continued downtime?
What is the cost of a new motor? Is it immediately available or is there a lengthly lead-time until it can be delivered and put into service?
What is the warranty (in-service) for a repair?
Can you find a servo repair vendor willing to provide a free quote? Can they do so in a timely manner?
Is the repair vendor reputable? How long have they been repairing servo motors?
Even if the repair is more than 50% the cost of buying a new motor, can the machinery be running more quickly than buying new?
By taking a few minutes to gather some information on your options, you can determine very clearly which path will best minimize your costs.
