Electric motors play a crucial role in countless applications, from industrial machinery to household appliances. When electric motors fail, it can lead to major inconveniences and lost productivity. To help prevent such issues, it's important to understand the common problems that cause electric motors to fail. At Industrial Motors & Machining, we provide expert electric motor service in the greater Denver area. Here are five common causes of electric motor failure. Overheating One of the most common issues that cause electric motors to fail is overheating. When a motor runs too hot for extended periods, it can damage the insulation around the windings, leading to shorts and eventual motor failure. Overheating is often caused by inadequate ventilation, excessive loads, or high ambient temperatures. Electrical Overloads Electrical overload occurs when an electric motor draws more current than it's designed to handle. This often happens when the motor is working under too much load or when there's an imbalance in the power supply. Excessive current can cause wires to overheat, damaging the motor's internal components. Bearing Wear Bearings can wear down over time due to friction and improper lubrication. When bearings fail, it can lead to motor vibrations, increased noise, and eventually, total motor breakdown. Regular inspection and proper lubrication of the bearings can help extend the motor’s lifespan. Insulation Breakdown When the insulation breaks down, it can result in short circuits and motor failure. Routine insulation testing and ensuring the motor operates in a clean, dry environment can help prevent this issue. Vibration Excessive vibration is another common cause of motor failure. Vibration can be caused by misalignment, imbalance in rotating components, or loose mounting hardware. If left unchecked, vibration can lead to internal damage, including wear on bearings, loose windings, and cracked components. Regular maintenance is key to minimizing vibration and preventing motor failure.

Welding has played a vital role in building everything from skyscrapers to cars. While it may seem like a straightforward process of joining metal, there is much more to welding than meets the eye. At Industrial Motors & Machining, we provide expert welding services in the greater Denver area. Here are four interesting facts about welding. Welding Has Ancient Origins Welding may seem like a modern technology, but its roots stretch back thousands of years. Evidence of welding has been found dating as far back as the Bronze Age. Ancient Egyptians used primitive welding techniques to join metal pieces, particularly when working with iron. The art of blacksmithing in medieval times also involved early forms of welding, and it wasn’t until the Industrial Revolution that welding as we know it began to develop. Underwater Welding Exists When we think of welding, we usually picture a workshop or construction site, but welding can also be done underwater. Underwater welding is a specialized and dangerous field that involves fusing materials in marine environments. It is commonly used for repairing ships, pipelines, and offshore oil platforms. There Are Many Welding Processes Welding is not a one-size-fits-all technique. In fact, there are dozens of different types of welding processes, each suited to specific materials and applications. Some of the most common methods include MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, and Stick welding. Other specialized methods include laser welding, which uses a laser beam to fuse metals, and friction stir welding, which joins materials by rubbing them together at high speeds. The wide variety of welding processes ensures that welders can work with an array of materials and environments. Welding Is Used in Space Welding isn’t limited to Earth—it’s also used in space. One of the first recorded space welds occurred during the Soviet Union's Soyuz 6 mission in 1969. In the future, welding will be crucial for space exploration, enabling astronauts to repair spacecraft or even construct space habitats.
