Welcome to the Hibbs ElectroMechanical blog
Your resource for maximizing electric motor reliability and protecting plant productivity. Here, facility managers, plant operators, and reliability engineers will find practical insights on electric motor repair standards, static and dynamic testing methodologies, and predictive maintenance (PdM) strategies. Our articles explain how to diagnose the root causes of insulation and mechanical failures before catastrophic outages occur. You will also find actionable frameworks for auditing motor repair shop quality and evaluating vendors against rigorous EASA standards. Explore our guide to lowering energy costs, extending asset lifespans, and transforming maintenance into a cost-saving mechanism.
Why Efficiency Surveys are Important
What is an “Efficiency Survey”? An efficiency or energy survey is a series of electrical and mechanical tests that help define the health of machinery within a facility or factory and identify areas and components that may need attention. Better efficiency correlates...
Motor Condition Monitoring
Efficiency does Matter Why Monitor? The concept of Predictive Maintenance has become a world-wide accepted practice and is being implemented and finely tuned by nearly every industry category. Locating, defining and acting on potential problems before they become...
Why do maintenance strategies fail to prevent unscheduled downtime?
Predictive Maintenance programs have become an accepted strategy worldwide since companies must depend on the safe, efficient and continuous operation of their electro-mechanical equipment to be profitable and competitive. The concept of “predicting” imminent failures...
