Expert Servo Drive Repair & Refurbishment
Common questions from engineers and maintenance managers about servo motor refurbishment.
QWhy should I refurbish my SEW-EURODRIVE servo motor instead of buying new?
Faster Turnaround: Supply chains for new servo-geared units can be lengthy. Refurbishment significantly reduces waiting time, getting your line back to production faster.
Cost Efficiency: Professional refurbishment typically costs a fraction of a new unit while restoring the component to original OEM specifications.
Seamless Integration: Replacing a servo unit with a brand-new model can sometimes require complex parameter adjustments or software changes. Refurbishing your existing unit ensures it is "plug-and-play" compatible with your current setup.
QIs a refurbished unit as reliable as a new one?
Yes. At Howcroft, our refurbishment process involves full teardown, inspection, bearing replacement, winding testing, and — most importantly — rigorous load testing. We don't just "fix" the problem; we validate the unit's performance against factory benchmarks before it leaves our facility.
