Vertical motors are used in pumps, gearboxes, grinders and mills, among other industrial equipment. Vertical motors have many design specific attributes based on down thrust requirements. Many vertical motors have multiple thrust bearing sets on either the top or bottom housing and larger designs have Babbitt tilt pad and guide

Every industrial process has some sort of rotation. Operational problems develop when a vibration is present. That can lead to failures. Over time, operating conditions change. For example, motors, shafts, wheels and other industrial equipment can accumulate debris, couplings wear and bearing housings become loose. CMT can do a vibrational
Friday, October 7 is Manufacturing Day. Here at CMT, we celebrate all kinds of manufacturing. It’s good to roll up your sleeves and use your hands and your brain. At CMT, we hire machinists and mechanics. Going to a career and technical center for high school or trade school is
Electric motor winding failures can develop from several reasons, such as over greasing, a voltage surge, poor power, contamination or insulation problems. A voltage surge caused so much force that it ripped the winding apart creating shorts and grounds in a 2500 horsepower motor. CMT can determine if it’s a
Pictured is a magnetic drum that has been restructured and waits for an internal bore process to ensure a proper rotational air gap. CMT offers repairs at your facility or ours.
